Webster continued to be an able lieutenant to Tyndall in the National Front and jointly held the leadership of the party with him from 1971 - 1974 . Webster clashed with their replacement John Kingsley Read and the clash set in motion Read's downfall, allowing Tyndall to return to the leadership. However Webster would go on to break with Tyndall and became the leading figure in the NF during Andrew Brons ' leadership. Rumours of Webster's Bisexuality led to him becoming vilified in far-right circles and he also fell foul of the Political Soldier wing of the NF. In 1983 they ensured that he lost his position as National Activities Organiser, then deprived him of his place on the National Directorate, before expelling him from the party altogether. Many activists also reproached Webster for being too friendly with the police. He briefly attempted to lead his own group, One Nation , although this proved unsuccessful despite scrounging money from Françoise Dior . No longer involved in active politics (although he was associated with Lady Jane Birdwood for a while leading up to her death) Webster re-emerged in 1999 to claim that he had been involved in a gay relationship with Nick Griffin during the 1970s as an attempt to discredit Griffin's attempts to wrest leadership of the British National Party from Tyndall. Webster's efforts proved unsuccessful and he has yet to return on the political scene, although he writes as a freelance. He is an active cyclist and is a member of recreational cycling groups. |
