Jim, I must admit that the International Brigades returnees to Britain were not criminalised. They were not always treated well elsewhere. But this country did sit on its hands during the rise of fascism, Keith. We were ill-prepared for war in 1939 and there was the infamous attempt at appeasement. The mistreatment of Jews was well known well before the war started.
