With Sam Swerling at the Traditional Britain Group Christmas Social, 2014

Sam Swerling, one of my fellow Vice-Presidents of the Traditional Britain Group, died earlier today from cancer at the age of 83. An outline of his life can be read here.

Aside from his career as a senior law lecturer at City University, Sam devoted his life to traditional conservatism, giving many years of service to the Conservative Party and the Conservative Monday Club, of which he was at one point Chairman. He was a founder member of the former Conservative Democratic Alliance and a member of the Western Goals Institute. He was a well-received speaker at the events of the Traditional Britain Group, where one of his last speeches was an extremely cogent and compelling analysis of the National Interest with relation to the politics of Britain today.

In 2017, Sam published a most absorbing memoir detailing his political life spanning half a century.

To this I contributed a short introduction,

Sam was a man of integrity and a patriot who loved his country and its people. His work will be continued and his memory kept alive. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
