I met him various times in the early 90's he gave me a autographed book of the leap he lived in kensington park road , though i dont know where he lives now ,. would be nice to meet him again
I came across Hopkins when researching my mother's life. She met him working as a hostess at Murray's Club in the early 60s. After I shot this I heard a lot of rumours about Hopkin's sexual proclivities. Later I heard he'd belonged to neo-Nazi political parties from the 50s to now including the NF and BNP. He spoke to me mainly about my mother's take on prostitution, and his art collection. He showed me his Scottie Wilsons & what he said was an unauthenticated Rubens. Bowden is fascist scum.
Well according to my stats this is the only video I have that has zero attention, which means people must be coming on with pre-written comments and pasting them in here before it even has time to start up, then leaving. Seems a bit pointless having a conversation around video no one is watching...
Glad it is of some use. This is just a skim. Actually putting this video up brought some info about Hopkins that could be put to use with much of the unused footage left over (there are a couple of hours of him)... But to make sense of that would need to shoot some new stuff with other people. Someone asked me recently if Hopkins is still alive, I haven't heard that he'd died but this person seemed to think so...... and I've had no contact with him since doing this, so wouldn't necessarily know.
A link to this was placed in an online Julius Evola discussion group; and being fascists those concerned are anti-Semitic. When I find racist comments I remove them - there is no reasoning with racists, they're irrational. I used Nick Abrahams as my cameraman on this, he's a friend; but it seems these racists aren't able to tell the ethnicity of camera work, which just goes to show how silly their prejudice is. Race is not real, but racism results in people experiencing it as real.
See above, but so 'nice' you said it twice... other users might note that a number of racist comments have been placed under this video, when I find anti-Semitic comments (or other racist comments, it is just the ones in question have been anti-Semitic) I remove them.
Hear hear -- we need another elitist fascist idealogue like a hole in the head! "hugely influential behind the nationalist scenes", according to the BNP's own cut-price Melvyn Bragg....

I didn't know about this but I'll do a search, by cut-rpice Melvyn Bragg I guess its the other JB you're talking about (not Mr Soul himself, the original and groovy JB who sang "Say It Loud I'm Black & Proud")....

@Dom9006 I heard he died on 6 May 2011 in hospital in London, although I haven't been able to verify this and have no further details right now.

Why on earth would someone leave an "anti-semitic" comment under a Bill Hopkins video?

Interesting... indicative of the kind of company the man's been keeping during the 'wilderness years', perhaps?
I thought that Jonathan 'Gary Glitter' Bowden's portrait of Hopkins was an expressionist nightmare, until I saw the real thing!
