Adrian Davies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adrian Davies is chairman of the British Freedom Party, and a barrister based in Lincoln's Inn, London.
He represented the controversial British Holocaust denier David Irving at his libel case appeal; Irving had raised the original libel action after being accused of Holocaust denial by Deborah Lipstadt, but lost. He also failed in his appeal.
Davies was previously an executive council member of the Conservative Monday Club and a former executive committee member of Tory Action. He is also a co-founder of the little-known Bloomsbury Forum, and audited the accounts of the British National Party in 2000.
He addressed a fringe meeting of the Conservative Democratic Alliance at the Conservative Party (UK) Conference in October 2002.
Davies was the Freedom Party's sole candidate in the 2005 general election contesting South Staffordshire. The death of a candidate led to this election there being postponed from May 5th to June 23rd. On that day, Davies polled 473 votes, 1.7% of all those cast. His platform was anti-immigration, using the slogan "Enoch Powell was right!"[1]. His platform also opposed the European Union and the Euro.[2]
