Patrick "Pat" Harrington (born 24 May 1964) is a former member of the National Front, [1], one of the original founders of Third Way[2] and is currently General Secretary of the far right Trade Union Solidarity.[3]
Education
Harrington attended Pimlico Comprehensive and later Archbishop Tenison’s Grammar School.[4]
National Front
Patrick Harrington joined the National Front in 1979[5] and it was because of this that he was the target of protests whilst studying philosophy at The Polytechnic of North London. An article in The Guardian stated:
- "The Polytechnic of North London students demonstrated against the presence of National Front activist Patrick Harrington, who insisted on his right to study there. A series of divisive court actions and a great deal of damaging publicity resulted. NUS president Phil Woollas, now a Labour MP, said the polytechnic was "simply not functioning any more," with students barred from certain buildings and refusing to attend lectures with Mr Harrington , and lecturers defying the courts by refusing to give names of students on demonstrations outside the college."[6]
