They don't like it up 'em! Still picking at their old sores long after everyone else's healed. Whatever the dinosaurs think about who supported them then, it was Moseley's last stand, and he was totally discredited thereafter.

I think it all happened long enough ago to be left in peace.

I also think correct spelling is a virtue.

Fine -

Looks like it was probably clever propaganda to make him appear more unpopular than he really was - and no-one lkes to be associated with a political joke.

And it stands today too. The BNP are kind of a comedy institution in England now. Their politics are obviously to be treated seriously and with concern, but as long as they are laughed at they will always be on the very fringes and they will always have headaches.

Had the truth come out, it might have been perceived differently by the public, and he might have been seeen as a suffering hero, honourable in the face of coummunist terrorism.

Here's a big raspberry from me :-P

I don't think Cable Street had an effect one way or the other. Mosely was never popular and neither were his party. I think those who fought against the fascists in Cable Street should be congratulated, but it was a footnote in history, nothing more.

Strange, don't you think, that the left celebrates anyone who makes a stand against fascism, but ignore the greatest anti-fascist of them all, namely Sir Winston Churchill.

Winnie may have been anti fascist (or at least anti German) but he was also anti semitic and bragged of the sport of shooting Kafirs.

Winnie's only beef with the nazis was that they were muscling in on his patch. He did a magnificent job when it was needed. Then a different job needed doing, and we got someone who did that job reasonably well.
