"Prison is extremely disagreeable." Classic understatement.
Even aristocrats in those days were tough lol nowadays people would crumble in one day
This has to be one of the most polite and civil discussions on the topics of Hitler and Fascism that I have ever heard.
I can't believe how beautiful she was at her age
You would never see ITV doing programmes like this anymore. All we get now are quiz shows and reality shows.
I can't imagine anyone being that honest on a chat show now, the say what they're told to say. Whatever you think of her views , can you imagine anyone expressing themselves in that way now?
If your the right race right pedigree and the audience most likely secretly shares your views the sky is the limit.
you not seen howard stern? trump was so honest on there he said he'd bang diana
What happened to society ?
"Prison is extremely disagreeable", lol
So upper class British
@Jim lastname where did Mosley say he'd side with Hitler after an invasion? Thanks.
@Jim lastname you didn't answer my question.
@Jim lastname brilliant answer and the one I expected. Thank you
Stiff upper lip like that doesn’t exist anymore.
People now crumble when they hear a offensive word let alone being put into prison without trial!
This is incredible. Two people obviously with very different points of view, and manage to keep civil.
We have lost something along the way.
A voice from history.
Reminds one that any real #peerage/#nobility should be a working nobility that continues in each generation to earn it's standing of societal leadership.✌️
And a great and honest one at that
Peaky blinders got me here.
"And than very tragically his wife died" "Exactly and then I married him.", umh
I'd forgotten about Mavis- she was a fantastic interviewer. Diana's Mosley's comments about Hitler are fascinating and her honesty is refreshing. I do not condone her political beliefs but she does not attempt to whitewash her past unlike so many politicians and those of her class who had supported Hitler & Mussolini prior to the war
knockshinnoch1950 Re: "She does not attempt to whitewash her past". Of course she does. She's just too dense and oblivious and supercilious to realize how much of it is incriminating.
I do agree, like the rest of her strange oddball sisters she is rather thick and lived in her own privileged world. She obviously believed she had done nothing wrong. So many others of her class at that time admired & supported Hitler and saw him as a bulwark against Stalin's communist Russia. They spent the rest of their lives whitewashing their past and rewriting history.
NS Germany WAS a bulwark against the USSR, a rogue state that was planning invasion of central Europe. Just ask Romania, the Baltic States and Finland who were invaded prior to Op Barbarossa!
@@louise-yo7kz And a corporal attempting to tell generals how to execute a war.
She was a people person. A SJW in her day. She wanted for the commoner which was rare in her class of people.
I would say she was an absolutely stunning woman back in her day.
@JeanClaude Clemenceau you weirdos are obsessed. These elite whites do not care about the London of today to the same extent that downtrodden working class whites do. If anything, they're profiting off of the events of the current day.
@StoptheWars um no. They would have happily welcomed a German invasion considering they were friends with Hitler if it propelled them to the furthest heights of elitism.
@JeanClaude Clemenceau whatever Frenchie.
@JeanClaude Clemenceau what are you talking about?
Interviews like this don't exist anymore. Say what you will but she's very outstraight
“Oh it was sooo revolting and disgusting “. Think of what it would have been like in Buchenwald , “Lady” Diana
You,sir, are utterly insane and scarily wrong
A very beautiful and classic face.
Ach herrje!...da hat es sich eine geschmeidige Dame aber nicht so schwer gemacht... lässt mir ein sehr mulmiges Gefühl...ich bin Jahrgang 63 und hab viel gehört und gelesen.
@@MiSt3300 Are you Jewish?
@@MiSt3300 Lol what the heck are you talking about?
But don't judge a book by its cover!
Sun Toucher
Looks like an old bag to me!
She does have a point about Western hypocrisy, genocidal monsters and the whole 'he may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of bitch' mentality of Western powers.
Herbert Wells She is actually quoting Franklin D. Roosevelt who in 1939 said of the Nicaraguan President Anastasio Somoza García, "Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch". This acknowledged that the U.S knew Somoza was a ruthless dictator and was committing crimes against humanity but was prepared to look the other way because he did what the U.S told him to do which allowed to the U.S to exploit and make money out of the Nicaraguan people. I'm not sure what you call hypocrisy but that sounds very much like Western hypocrisy to me.
What a Stunningly beautiful lady, charming, her command of the English Language is impecable, like music, I could listen to her all day.
I know people In England who tend to have that accent, some tend to be a bit higher in tone than her... most then to be men.
@Dickie Chaznick Setting Mrs. Mosley's merits and demerits aside for the moment, if I may, I dispute that good diction is a frippery. Perhaps you don't know that diction is how you speak entirely, including choice of words, and so is not limited to vowel formation and pronunciation, which might be what you mean. What comes out when you open your mouth frippery? I can't believe you mean that.
As to her demerits, she might have had endless amounts in spades for all I know, but she doesn't seem to be a holocaust denier in this interview. If she meant to deny it here, she failed spectacularly, for she acknowledged it.
@JeanClaude Clemenceau But an apologist for Hiter like her despicable husband.
@Dickie Chaznick Thanks for your reply. Firstly, suppose someone said: "Dickie Chaznick an idiot? I don't see how anyone could possible claim it!" Nothing wrong with that, not as to form nor meaning. On to the next matter.
Regarding her comments on the German atrocities, I take your point, as what I found an acknowledgement was, I agree, not a thoroughgoing one. But I don't agree completely, as it was easily close enough to one to flop as a denial.
You surely know more about her than I do, and I admit I mostly forget what was in The Rules of the Games, written by her son Nicholas. Certainly, if elsewhere she denied the Holocaust, then I deplore her very memory. Other deniers might on that account visit her grave to leave flowers; let others still drop by whilst walking their dogs, if you get my meaning. My point is merely that her remarks her seemed an acknowledgement, and did not constitute a denial. Again, you might know more about it.
All the best, Dickie. P.S. How do you get text rendered in italics?
@Dickie Chaznick All very interesting and made all the more vivid by your relating the personal tangent. Might you have noticed her about now and then, or spoken to her? Unlikely, if she was anything like Nancy, whom one can only imagine seeing through a telescope..
It's her sister who interests me most, though. Love in a Cold Climate, The Blessing, and Madame de Pompadour are old favourites.
Quite a wrecking crew (the five of them, wasn't it?) with good points and bad ones, perhaps both in quantity. Having many detractors is ordinarily a bad sign, but by no means always!
Thanks for your reply.
Lady Diana Mosley, of the famous Mitford tribe, being as always sparkling, beautiful and an endless apologist for fascism.
Daffy and detached.
Great lady all the same
Marc, shut up you deranged little turd.
Strikingly beautiful.
Lady Mosley is not exactly likeable but beautiful and captivating nevertheless. An extraordinarily candid interview.
She has beautiful eyes
She speaks so properly
Eloquently
And we thought the Queen was posh lol
That's because her family are not real British Aristocrats, she's German descent Saxe-Coburg and Gotha they turned up in the early 18th Century the Georges 1, 2 & 3. The real British Aristos can trace their lines back to the Plantagenets and earlier Medieval families and the Normans. Queen Lizzies an incomer!! I saw a BBC programme once about old English families they had an old school aristo who said she considered Queen Elizabeth middle class!!
Loyalty to the royalty is a big mistake. All those wasted lives to war for capitalist profit
Yawn
@@redwater4778 FROM NON RACIST FACIST IN Thailand 🇹🇭 SHUT UP YOU LEFTIST PIG
@Lion of Judah It's not even capitalism anymore . Corporate tax rates are less than half what they use to be . It's "Corporatism "
A totally unfair distribution of tax burden.
Diana versus Jessica would have been wonderful to witness all the Mitford's were fascinating people
Absolutely stunningly beautiful...
And?
Damn, what a face, that beautiful bone structure. Sheer beauty.
It’s interesting to hear the way she speaks. Does anyone speak like this today? Speech patterns have changed so much since her time. I wonder if everyone from her class spoke like this.
It's a facade and takes practice
Matured beauty! She had very good facial bone/ skull shape.
And?
Her eyes are gorgeous too.
CATHOLIC THOT
It’s the content of the heart that matters.
@@karlconnolly3994 you're right. I didn't know much about this woman and her affiliations until I did some research.
CATHOLIC THOT
She ain’t no beauty.
"Prison is extremely disagreeable" lol
Fascinaiting interview.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful women at her age here. Stunning! Beautiful!
She was a rabid Fascist - & that's UGLY.
@MrZapparinThere are rude, vulgar and offensive comments here (some are anti Semitic, clearly composed by bigots), mine was not among them.
My criticism of Diana Mosley was perfectly civilized and factually correct - she and her husband were rabid fascists. Unapologetically so!
Why does the truth make you feel uncomfortable? That was a rhetorical question, because I couldn't care less about your warped reasons for defending bigots. Perhaps one day you'll find the courage to examine your moral weakness and attempt to become a better person. But I doubt it!
@@glamdolly30 so you prefer serving the Jews now?
@@glamdolly30 anti Semitic my ars
@MrZapparin You're hysterical - I obviously hit a nerve! Why do you ask if I'm Jewish? What a dumb question. So by your literal logic, you have to be Jewish or black to dislike racism? Sad. You clearly have your thumbs up your own arse - stop doing that, use all ten digits & you just might write something intelligent someday... but I won't bet my houses on it!
Absolutely fascinating interview superbly carried out, a pity it is a cut down version.
Stylish, dignified and with a brilliant command of the English language. A fascinating lady.
Interesting interview and insight into time at war
Amazing. Thanks for posting
Even as an older woman, Diana was still a beauty.
Philip Thompson My first thought was, "my Lord how old is she?? She is just stunning!!" Some of our US celebs should give up the knife and find out her beauty routine. .
Yeah she looked great Sandie Benedum. She was in her late 60's at the time.
Philip Thompson Late 60's, that just leaves me speechless. I hope I am able to look even 1/4 as pretty as she looks :)
Lol so do I Sandi Benedum
Philip Thompson Not "older": OLD. I find her looks just a bit disturbing, but not nearly as disturbing as her hauteur, her self-deception, and her obliviousness.
Daphne Guinness (her grand daughter) takes after her a lot especially the accent.
Daphne looks the spitting image of her. It is uncanny.
Wow!
I love Daphne. Not as articulate as Granny, but very unique and interesting.
@@louise-yo7kz i hope daphne disowned her
I love how it's obvious that this interviewer seems to have the idea that she's just talking to an old lady, who was just a silly rich girl in her youth and just dazzled by the extremely famous people she knew ... and then Lady Mosley immediately has an answer, well thought out, intelligent and experienced for every "question" / accusation. Beautiful.
All her answers are just either attempts to divert attention away from the crimes of fascism and her own very obvious support of fascism, or attempts to make people feel sorry for her.
The facts remain that she was an open supporter of fascism and either too stupid or blind to see the terrors of fascism.
@Ann C do you think that might be because i turned away from the propaganda machine, did my research and know what i'm talking about? or do you believe i'm simply shallow and a product of society? more to the point, which one are you?
@Jim lastname No. Go and do some research instead of asking people to justify their comments. Why should I give a fuck what you think? lol.
@@Antraeus Amen brother
@@Antraeus Bullshit - the lady that quizzed her was WELSH!!!
such beauty. such fascist tendency
Faschinating ; ) This woman was NO fool. No way were you going to misquote her.
When she was imprisoned she was separated from the baby she was still nursing . That seems unnecessarily cruel.
She knows all about cruel.
Fascism is cruelest
bawbag
Yeah...but she was treated like a princess compared to the jews. Hate her false equivalence of "other dictators were worse"...really? She represents what may be most dangerous in society: her beauty, upbringing, elegant manners swoon us and we forget what she was standing for. Gave me chills
And she wasn’t even charged with an offence. Yet we believe in freedom? What a joke
Fascinating. Thank you.
How beautiful this lady is 😍😍❤️❤️
She was a rabid Fascist & racist - she admired Hitler FFS! Ppl are impressed by her upper class aura, it's pathetic!
@@glamdolly30 there is nothing wrong with fascism as a political ideology and racist is just a buzzword invented to discredit people who they can't argue with
Admiring hitler for his achievements isn't that bad and what's wrong with being upper class
You sound like a seething communist who knows his ideology is dead
A beautiful lady with an ab.fab stylish english way of speach . Great grand niece Stella Tennant looks like her .
she has a seriously good looking pair of legs
You dig gilfs
michael clarke you perverted ugly old bastard
Sure if you’re 80
13:15 « Was it because you felt you were innocent ? I knew I was innocent ! »
I got sort of scared while watching her eyes and face. Somehow out of this world and, yes, "icy". I could not have talked to her without being confused by that...
yes she is ,beautiful,and Rather posh,love her
Shallow, entitled, superior, slightly delusional...if anyone else says these things without the 'posh' they are cut down like weeds. She fell for Mosley so everything about him sparkled for her, and still does. There is nothing new about finding a dictator charming and likable for heaven sake. Psycopaths do that to you unless you are a critical thinker with sound values.
She is wrong. Peace could not have been achieved, Hitler did not want peace, he wanted Europe. The British Empire was destined to fall in any case, as the colonies fought for and gained independence. Hitler wanted an Empire too, there would have been no peace. Chamberlain tried didn"t he and Hitler promptly invaded Poland then France. Hitler's anti Jewish policy was crystal clear even before he gained power. Mosley too. So she is backsliding here. Disgusting.
It is true that Hitler is not the only facist to have committed war crimes against humanity. But so what? It only means that these crimes are not unique to Germany and so democracies should be vigilant, and not support local facists, the way she did.
@@zabooza74 hard to believe nazi idiots are still around.
@@Madmen604 Since the migrant crisis started they are becoming more and more. I wonder why that is...
Lovely. So much to learn from the older ladies about elegance in aging.
fantastic accent love it, reminds me of my grandparent's
U wish!
reminds me of Dame Margaret Thatcher (was probably a role model for her who was of a far more modest background)
It sounds so fake that it becomes hilarious! Besides, it's your grammar you should be more concerned with, not a ridiculous accent.
@@alicemi4155 In what way could it be fake?
Beautiful, articulate, classy and disgusting, all at the same time
Thank you so much for posting this. After x amount of years of reading books about the family it's nice to be able to hear some of the old interviews. My only tiny correction is that this is an interview with Diana, Lady Mosley as opposed to Lady Diana Mosley. (Diana's father was not an Earl, Marquess, or Duke.) I don't think there is any audio of Unity available. The only sister's voice I haven't heard yet is Pam's.
This is a beautiful old lady.
Imagine what Britain would be like today if Britons still tried to emulate people like her, instead of rejecting any semblance of poise, refinement or dignity, as they've done.
It’s the content of the heart...hers is dubious.
@bricology I think Britain started to get much coarser around the time of Thatcher. I remember watching a comedian whose catchphrase was "Loadsamoney" and that seemed to represent the zeitgeist then and ever since. Gentility (and I mean for all social strata) seemed to fall by the wayside.
Ryan Davidson
You sound utterly repulsive. All done creep.
Lisa Sivo
Thatcherism along with Reaganomics in America created the greedy “me me me” society that breeds hate,resentment,division ..it’s flourishing today,Drumpf is its figurehead .
Private ownership and wealth needs to be seriously regulated and curtailed...I think,to give Democracy back to the People.
@@karlconnolly3994 I agree. Reagan and Thatcher were two peas in a pod and their legacy has been a never-ending quest for the almighty dollar/pound. Trump is the almost inevitable result of this long slide.
Are there really people like this; they seem a different species of human ! Very fascinating !
@@moonhaze8332 I pass by a lot of "racially pure" drug addicts begging on the streets on my way to work each day, so I don't think racial purity is at work here.
Perhaps instead, her elegance is due to her having received a privileged upbringing in a different era.
@@moonhaze8332 What, in brief, is the evidence you would adduce for your claim that the most refined geneology exists in the white race?
Thank you.
My granny used to hang out with the Mitford's, she was a flapper they liked to party hard.
Great intriguing, beautiful and posh lady, her exquisite poise and manners - not to mention her accent- exude her pedigree and upper class upbringing, her political views, notwithstanding, quite disastrous, what a shame!
+Raymond Daubney, excuse me? You haven't got a clue about me, so do not patronize me!!
@lilith horvath As opposed to, ...a zionist-bimbo like yourself pimping for the penultimate evil of zion?
Those eyes...wow...i can see why now.
Fascism sometimes looks like this lady .In some way very charming. Aristocrats just hate Stalin and they are not impressed with weak democracy Europe have before the war..they really think Hitler gonna make order in Europe..God knows how many people believe in that before 1939.
Hi. Do somebody know where could I get the transcript of this interview? I'm very interested about this dialogue, but I can't understand some words Lady Mosley says. Thanks in advance.
Interesting and very honest
She was pretty in her youth and is stunning in her later days. What a lady!
DL Southwell . “Letting the little head do the thinking for the big head”, DL? Yes, she is beautiful, but a beautiful Nazi is still a Nazi...
Alice Rabbit ....& don’t YOU be such a mental midget & ethically challenged simpleton.
Brilliant, fascinating, and beautiful woman.
Before 77% of the population were overweight and 42% were obese.
A bit chilling that she doesn't have an ounce of remorse about her affiliation and outright admiration of Hitler. She is certainly a compelling figure, I'll admit.
She is not one to be sentimental and emotional. She is a Gemini!
alot went on that you have no idea about. you keep reading your Official histories.
Quite the politician with her carefully spin-doctored answers to questions.
those eyes and that english acccent. amazing!!!! still graceful at that age with no hollywood type of cosmetic surgery. she was a complex individual as someone pointed out below here. you might not like her because she sympathize(d) with hitler, mostly the person not the politician, but she makes a series of good points, truthful points that explain the contradictions or ambiguity seen in western society.
dekubaner She was not "complex". She was very shallow, and her rationalization were simplistic. She doesn't make "good points"; she makes evasions and excuses.
You can’t get any posher
what a classy lady
It was an irony. i don't consider any of those bimbos as classy.
KeyboardWarrior it doesn't make a difference really since it's not class that get you to avoid falling for a populist dictator's BS...it's intelligence. An adjective that can't really be bestowed on this lady...but hey, at least she's pretty.
Pretty...but not classy. Classy people take the rod out of their back and speak nicely but not through their nose, raaaa-llly, you seee....true class isn’t an aristocratic affect.
Desiree Silva really???? Are you serios
Someone able to put a smile while talking about her imprisonment and even laughing at it is classy. This kind of people only exist in Britain. But are under the threat of extintion. Nowadays all is fuss, feelings and correctness. Really boring.
No date for the recording? I’d like to know...
nobody wants to hear the truth,
least of all her.
I just watched Love in cold climate 1980 about her and sisters Mitford.She died in 2004
Fascinating, she looks exactly like my teacher, just older.
The epitome of class !!!!! such a beautiful Lady.....
your having a bloody laugh what an old boot
Madeline Madeleine
Beautiful lady???? She was a racist monster. Are you at all familiar with her Nazi past???
Hitler loving Nazi
@@jasonspencer4725 Any race of people who are not racist, will eventually lose everything and become extinct. History has many examples of this. Being racist is to protect and nurture your own race and culture, within your ancestoral homeland. Other races should also do the same, in their homelands. England should kick out those who seek to destroy her ASAP.
@Michael VR
As long as idiots like you praise a Nazi loving bitch, I will not shut the fuck up.
What a gorgeous lady.

Wow - that was interesting!!!!
Interesting interview.
Elegant lady
A natural beauty
Very intelligent and beautiful woman. Even name drops Solschenizyn and several interesting books that give great perspectives on the contemporary view of Hitler and German politics.
You have to agree this woman is so well spoken and of the highest manners. Generations keep getting worse as time passes
Absolutely fascinating woman. Her diction and composure with this fran leibowitz type is admirable.
The woman liked what she liked and made it quite clear.
Bravo
Cold as ice,those eyes
What a quintessential queen of veracity.
Very regal but honwst at the same time.
AND that spectacular set of bone structure!
Perfection with a good message.
Mitchell White “Queen of mendacity”, more like..😞
MS3300 ... Are you just copy pasting the same comment on posts remarking on her looks?
Bit lazy don’t you think?
Also, why is your profile name borrowed from a Digital Clamp Transducer?
Unless you’re a sparky I can’t imagine why in the hell you used it as a name... 🤔
Marin? Is this you?!
Poise, elegance, class, charm, beauty.
Elocution, deportment, wit and restraint. All that is serious lacking in women today.
Such an erudite and dignified lady.
This woman is a true beauty. Her politics not withstanding. As I listen to her, it is obvious that each of us can justify what we believe and what actions we take in following those beliefs.
The Magic Numbers.
Great band.
Slaying it like a boss, making Sarah Huckabee-Sanders go green with envy... 😂
Should see photos when she was young. Stunning, so was Unity, mad as a box of frogs but beautiful.😍
what a clever and beautiful woman....not sure of her politics, but a fascinating interview....
hairyscotman "Not sure of her politics"? They're pretty obvious--and frightful.
INDEED!!! it just shows you cannot judge ANY book by it's cover.....it's the DISCONNECT that is scary....and how people justify their thoughts....if she were your neighbor and you never heard her views, you'd describe her as lovely.....that, she is not!
haha you englishmen thinking your opinion matters on any such subjects. you lost the entirety of your empire and it seems you have yet to come to grips with that reality. meanwhile your subjects reverse colonize you. it is all so hilarious!
Her politics and honesty makes her even more beautiful. It takes bravery to tell the truth in a world so full of lies.
I don't nooo.,utter nonsense. We were just on the edge of being very poor, but had lots of houses to go to ‼️,,,,,,, aaaah that woman makes me want to...... #SCREAM with frustration.
Well jealousy is very corrosive,find something to do with your life,something constructive.
ah to be so classy...
I am . I'm Classier . She was evil 😈
Rare Books sums it up. below.
She was an absolute stunner in her day as you can see from her beauty in this interview.
Most people can't get past her accent but if you can then listen carefully to what she says.
Anyone who knows anything about Mosley or Hitler will tell you they put England's interest first.
Shame no politician can be as honest these days.
Mavis Nicholson was so marvellous as an interviewer...very understated style. I liked her a lot. DM is rather terrifying to my mind.
She was fantastic, and has never been replaced. The awful Michael Grade dumped her, preferring mindless pap.
Your simple mind.
The five funniest words in the english language are "and began rearranging the furniture."
Lady Mosley is a beautiful classy elegant older woman and was a beautiful woman as a young lady. She’s just gorgeous and the stories she could give to everyone what a life. Love her
... and a devoted fascist and apologist for Hitler.
