1. Candour

   Candour is a British far right-wing magazine founded and edited by A.K. Chesterton until his death in 1973. It was founded in 1953 as the successor to Truth newspaper of which he had been deputy editor. Truth had been acquired by the Staples Press who insisted on a new editorial policy and as a result Chesterton resigned. Chesterton issued a statement "Truth has been murdered" and asked his readers for backing for a new journal in the style of the old Truth. The initial response was not enthusiastic and the idea might have been still-born had it not been for funds received from R.K. Jeffery, a Chile based British millionaire. Further backing then followed and Candour was born, appearing first in October 1953. Candour was intended to "serve as a link between Britons all over the world in protest against the surrender of their world heritage." After Chesterton's death, Candour was edited by Miss Rosine de Bounevialle until her own death in 1999. It continues to be published irregularly, with the latest issue printed in April 2013.
