" It grew from "one Tory Minister" to "some Tory politicians""
It was an oberheard conversion if you read what was written.
I also said it might have been aaan apocryphal story, but the existent of an active group of Fascists within the upper echelons of the British establishment alongside the fact that the story was common throughout various parts of Britain among people who were living at the time made it quite likely it was true - a far cry from your "it must be true" "fellers in a pub".
I have no idea of the circumstances - it was a common from people who were around
I am fascinated by the effort you are putting into defending State fascism - but not in the least surprised.   
"In the Second World War, Britain was not willing to attempt to rescue the Jews of Europe in any meaningful way. It was not only imperial Realpolitikthat made the British close the gates of Palestine. We know that officials in the Colonial and Foreign offices and people in the administration in Palestine were far from immune to antisemitic sentiment while supporting an Arab state after the 1939 White Paper.
"During the war the British government was obsessed by the fear that their fight against Hitler could be construed as a war on behalf of the Jews. To avoid 'fighting a Jewish war' became a kind of alibi for the British authorities to do almost nothing for the Jews. Britain's solemn commitment to create a Jewish National Home in Palestine was in fact betrayed in the hour of greatest need for European Jewry. This is a serious stain on the British record, which until then had many positive sides."

Any word on Labour Party Antisemitism yet (rhetorical question again)
