      He wrote in His memoirs that It was the Mosley Memorandum of 1928 that switched Him to supporting the creation of a NHS. Mosley wrote of It at the start of the Depression and It was used as a foundation for the NHS in the late 40s. The NHS Chárter even States It is a system of Health care based on your birth right not wealth privilege. Hence, when I hear the right wing today say It is a National not International Health Service, I cannot help but to agree.

    My parents lived in Finsbury Park before the war and still remember Mosley and the blackshirts on the streets around north London at that time. I found this interesting - especially references in the narration to try to give context to the time; with any such history, this is a difficult gap to bridge, and hard to substitute unless one actually lived in those times with the sensibility of the period. Nevertheless, a privileged and interesting life without drawing any conclusion on politics or values.

    In Scotland Mosley was viewed with suspicion. Hated by the socialist left then despised by loyalists. The fact that he favoured a united Ireland and had highlighted the actions of the Black and Tans turned many off.
    An interesting character with some views that remain topical to this day: EU, immigration, economic policy, Ireland etc. That he vacillated throughout his career is maybe to his credit; or was he simply a populist trying to find a way to grab power? Nevertheless, his antisemitism suggests that not all people were equal in his eyes.

    Thanks for this. Oswald is an interesting historical figure. He started as Conservative then became a promising and rising star of the Labour party. Then, almost weirdly, became Britain's own homegrown fascist --- how was that possible? It should be a lesson to modern day centre-left parties, ignoring the concerns of native populations to their peril. Especially on the issue of immigration.
    It won't be. They are tone deaf and have no self awareness. Of course Mosley's emergent racism in the BUF and ties to Hitler were appalling, but the lesson is still there --- Don't piss off people telling them their identity and culture don't matter.

    Thanks for that well written, intelligent, and richly informative historical essay. I learned a lot from it. My only criticism is the trivial one of disliking the unnatural manner in which the reader reads it, seemingly more focused on general rules for how to read a text aloud-e.g. ‘Be sure to separate every subject from its predicate with a distinct pause‘-than on the meaning of what he is saying. I can’t resist adding that many of the visuals are hilarious-e.g. when the birth of a child is mentioned we see some close-up footage of a new born baby! I laughed at some of them, and I suspect the persons who selected and inserted them were laughing a bit, too. But elocutionary pedanticism and misplaced comic relief apart, a first-class documentary.

Mosely was clearly complex (not to mention very priveliged) but I am immensely glad that his success was limited. Seeing those clips of him in his black shirt, ranting to his adoring followers, is ominously reminiscent of Mussolini.

    While his politics were complicated and it's important to listen when someone speaks truth, I strongly disagree with anyone who would put Mosley on a pedestal the same way the American Founding Fathers were. While he made some valid points, I don't CELEBRATE his overall contribution. I don't see gun enthusiasts in the United States idolize Marx and Engels for supporting the citizen's right to keep and bear arms in the Communist Manifesto.

      I don't think anyone puts him in the same boat as those like the founding fathers of the US. Firstly they founded a country, was politically successful and had the support of the people. Mosley didn't. Mosley is a figured remembered as someone the people should of listened to and because we didn't, we have the problems we have today.

      @@Nebiros21 Yes I do disagree with those two things but agreed with the intention behind them. The European Union literally help support and push everything Mosley warned about like mass immigration and apartheid would have led to less international support and an inability to moral high ground. But I am sure if he could of seen the outcomes of these policies he would of changed his mind.

      Exactly. It was a vision shared by Hitler: A United States of Europe under one currency led by Germany. Germany's aims in Europe have never changed, only the method of achieving it.
