Activity
The NA sought to build a closer alliance with other groups on the far right working outside the BNP and sought to negotiate a merger with the Freedom Party, although the proposed merger did not come to pass as Adrian Davies was reluctant to join up with some of the more extremist elements of the NA. Seeking to further their ties with other activists, the party held a meeting attended by members of the White Nationalist Party and National Front at Rawdon Conservative Club on 10 September 2005 as a memorial to John Tyndall, where they were addressed by Tyndall supporter and BNP member Richard Edmonds, NA party leader and ex-leader of the WNP Eddy Morrison, and John Wood, formerly a senior member of the WNP. The meeting was attacked, with windows being smashed.

Famous quotes containing the word activity:
“The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“Labor is work that leaves no trace behind it when it is finished, or if it does, as in the case of the tilled field, this product of human activity requires still more labor, incessant, tireless labor, to maintain its identity as a “work” of man.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
