Kevin Quinn (born 1965 in Northampton, England) is an English neo-Nazi and the current leader of the November 9th Society (N9S). He lives in Bedford with his wife and children.
Quinn initially served as Director of Security and personal bodyguard to founder Terry Flynn in the movement, until he became leader, taking the title of National Director, in 2000. He now directs the British First Party.
In 2005, a member of Combat 18, Quinn was charged with distributing copies of The Longest Hatred: an examination of anti-gentilism, a book effectively banned when Lady Jane Birdwood was convicted for distributing it. He pleaded guilty to possession of racist material and was given a suspended sentence, although attempts to prove links to the Racial Volunteer Force were not pursued.
On 13 February 2008, Quinn appeared before Watford Magistrates' Court on a charge of racially aggravated public disorder. The charge related to an incident in South Oxhey on 1 December 2007 when it was claimed that Quinn abused ethnic minority passers-by from a British First Party table that he had set up in the area. In September 2008, the jury failed to agree on a verdict in his first trial at St Albans Crown Court. He was convicted of the same charge and given a six month suspended prison sentence at his second trial held at St Albans Crown Court in April 2009.
Famous quotes containing the words kevin and/or quinn:
“Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
—James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)
“In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn’t working, he’s a bum.”
—Anthony Quinn (b. 1915)
