Brian Hord

In February 1980 he made a speech in the European Parliament calling for a boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the internal exile of Andrei Sakharov; he attacked the European Commission's policy as "incredibly absurd, arrogant, insensitive and inept".

Hord was brought up in the Reedham Orphanage School in London, from where he went to Purley County Grammar School.
