Biography
Education
Arthur Kemp studied at the University of Cape Town and the University of South Africa, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Political Science, International Politics and Public Administration.
Career in South Africa
Arthur Kemp was born in Southern Rhodesia, spending his formative early political years in South Africa. Kemp worked as a journalist for the South African Conservative Party, which opposed South Africa's transition to universal suffrage,. Kemp was later expelled from the Conservative Party for publicly opposing apartheid and arguing in favour of Afrikaner separatism. Kemp also wrote for The Citizen newspaper.
Kemp was conscripted and served as a sergeant in the uniform branch of the South African Police in Johannesburg from 1987 to 1988.
In 1993, Kemp was a witness in the prosecution relating to the murder of the South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani. A 2007 report from the Southern Poverty Law Center asserted that he left South Africa because he was seen to have betrayed those convicted of the murder, Janusz Waluś and Clive Derby-Lewis, by giving "testimony against the Derby-Lewises". On his personal website, Kemp dismissed the SPLC's report as "total rubbish", saying that they did not even get his year of birth correct. Kemp also provided a referenced list of exactly what the evidence presented in court entailed, which included the revelation that Clive Derby-Lewis had given Kemp's name to the police, not the other way round as the SPLC alleged.
British National Party
Having moved to the UK in 1996, Kemp became manager of Excalibur, the British National Party (BNP)'s merchandising arm, but as of November 2010, no longer held that position. Kemp was then placed in charge of maintaining the BNP website. Under his management, the BNP website climbed in Alexa rankings to the 700th most popular website in Britain and to an average of 12,000 in the world as of June 2009.
Andrew Johnson of The Independent wrote that Kemp "was spotted in the BNP's election headquarters in Wales preparing thousands of campaign leaflets." The BNP released a video of the European election leaflet operation which provided evidence that the operation was under the control of the Birmingham BNP activist Richard Lumby.
In March 2011, Kemp resigned from all positions in the party including that of web editor, foreign affairs spokesman and Advisory Council member. No official reason was given.
On 2 September 2011, Kemp announced on his blog that he was no longer a member of the BNP.
Publications
In 1990 in South Africa he published a book on the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB - Afrikaner Resistance Movement), Victory Or Violence - The Story of the AWB, which he re-published in 2009 as Victory Or Violence - The Story of the AWB of South Africa. This book was subsequently updated and revised in 2012 to include the murder of Eugène Terre'Blanche.
Kemp has written and self-published several books including March of the Titans: a history of the White Race, which says that race —understood in biological terms — is the driving engine in history. An article in The Guardian says that the book questions the number of Jews killed in the Second World War, and "is popular with far-right activists around the world". In the Western Mail news article he is quoted as saying, "I deny outright that my book denies the Holocaust." The book itself is quoted as saying "... certainly far fewer died that what is most often claimed. Increasingly, all the evidence urges a complete revision of this aspect of the history of World War Two."
According to the SPLC, in 2005, some of Kemp's writings have been reproduced in National Alliance publications, and the group awarded him the "Dr. William Pierce Award for Investigative Journalism", which brought with it a $250 prize, for his article in National Vanguard, "White South Africa: What Went Wrong?". That article had appeared on the internet prior to its publication in National Vanguard magazine on Kemp's blog and in a book he published called The Lie of Apartheid.
