Have you ever heard about the Smethwick Election 1964? It follows from the decline of Moseley, and a massive stain on Tory history that they'd like to forget.
Might be one for the ideas board 🤔
Keep up the good work on these social studies 👍
Mosley was nothing like Hitler other than both being fascists, what a stupid title.
This video is the first time I've heard Moseley speaking. I just realised who the model was, voice wise, for Harry Enfield's Mr Cholmondeley Warner and Grayson.
Why do you conflate communism with fascism so much? They're polar opposites, fascist economic policy was where thatcher got her ideas, they believed in mass privatization and deregulation of the economy--heck, they invented it.
Should really fact check this stuff before posting. It's very incorrect😅
Why do you act like communism is somehow similar to what the Italians and Germans did? They are objectively polar opposites, the thatchers economic policy came from the Italians, they literally invented mass privatization and deregulation--the polar opposite of communism.
Do some basic fact checking next time 😂
Interestingly, Mussolini warned Mosely against copying the fascist formula, saying that it did not match the British character and would be unpopular.
Weirdly accurate
Anytime a radical ideology reaches a country it tailors itself to wppeal to its citizens.

@@FrankLucas-pw5hs Funny how Communists claim to represent the working class but the working class want fuck all to do with them. Good example - the Hard Hat Riots in NYC, 1970.

Got a source for that?
25:47 -Hitler did not rise to power through a military coup
after the death of president Von Hindenburg on the 2nd of august 1934, Hitler (who was already chancellor) combined the powers of the president and chancellor into one position: the fuhrer.
He essentially declared himself dictator
So.... A political coup then
@@Jimmy_Cream Indeed the more seats they won, the more power the Nazi Party had to influence the Reistag by instigating walkouts and thus handicapping the ability of parliament to conduct business. Hindenburg was compelled to appoint Hitler as Chancellor. The ensuing machinations led to the rise of Hitler as the Fuhrer. A perfect political coup.
He was voted in.
he became chancelor through his presence of thugs, and making sure only a fraction of the whole council was present at the time
and the rest knowing very well what were to happen if they didnt allow him to seize power.
i'm not into slave morality, i know power is everything
but (or should i say BECAUSE of that) we must be honest with ourselves and not warp history.
pretty hard to learn from the past if you are not willing to look at it.
@@jim-es8qk He wasn't, the nazi parliamentary group strongarmed Hindenburg into appointing him as chancellor. Sure they were the biggest single party in parliament, but they were by far a minority.
No wonder he failed his moustache was too wide
Charlie Chaplin did not give look alike of him a minor roll in The Great Dictator (1940) even. 😊
Honestly it’s a shame that style of moustache is now solely associated with H man. I know and honestly really like it from the tintin comics and I know when I was small I always wanted to have a nice little moustache like that. Then I learned of H man. And now I kinda still want one but I can’t for the live of me get one now.

Oswold mosely lived on the same road as my grandparents, they said he was a nice and quiet man whenever they spoke to him.
Look at videos of him in the past there is plenty out there and those videos demonstrate the left lied about him, they lied about him a lot.
It’s like when people find out their elderly neighbour was a notorious serial killer and cannot believe it. People can be very good at wearing different masks for different people.
@@nicolelake5848 I think this goes to the heart of a major weakness of much of the population.
As endless voxpops and polls have shown, plenty of people in 2019 voted for the Conservatives essentially as a means of voting for Johnson.
And the reason many gave? Because, to them (and, as an aside, I'd say this is a pretty damning indictment of their tastes), he seemed 'fun' and 'entertaining'.
The way he appeared completely blinded them to any kind of objective appraisal of a man who had demonstrated that, in so many ways, he was entirely unfit to be an MP, let alone a minister or, as we sadly learned the hard way, Prime Minister.

@@bawdysasquatch8846 he did actually become dictator...
Hitler did not rise to power through a military coup. He was appointed Chancellor by the President of Germany just as the Weimar constitution demanded. He party was the largest party but did not have a full majority in the Reichstag so the people didn't want him by and large. The military detested him. Even Hindenburg detested the Bohemian corporal. However, a conservative coalition led by von Papen convinced the President to support Hitler because the conservatives could control him. Actually there were only 3 Nazis in Hitler's cabinet. I don't know where this military coup story comes from.
Mussolini marched on Rome to cease power
Hitler, as you said, was elected after successive failing democratic governments, during a national crisis
Probably mixing it up with the failed Beer Hall Putsch.
Night of the long knives
Night of the long knives was not a coup d‘Etat but the elimination of certain party leadership. None of the government was murdered. Hitler was constitutionally appointed as Chancellor
@@SenpaimustNoticeThe Night of the Long Knives was something completely different. It happened after Hitler had cane to power and was used to purge the leadership of the SA

Fun fact: calling WWI the 'first world war' while it was happening isn't a mistake in documentaries. It was dubbed the 'first' world war at the time already as journalists and politicians of the time (of course being sensationalistic as always) already recognized the likelihood of future world wars.
It was called the Great War.
@mikesecondname yes, among other things like the world to end all wars, and the 1st World War. These were all used at the time. The past isn't a monolith where everyone all acted the same and said the same things.
As my great grandad once told me ‘battle of cable street was more funny than scary, tomatoes were cheap’
It's also a total myth
@@longiusaescius2537which part? And how so?
@@BlueTyphoon2017 'the Battle of Cable Street actually bolstered BUF membership and support.
"The ‘Observer’ newspaper commented (7/3/1937): ‘the size of their vote was a surprise even to those in touch with the East end’. The ‘Guardian’ (5/3/1937) called it ‘a surprising indication of strength’. Even the communist ‘Daily Worker’ (5/3/1937) admitted: ‘a disturbing feature is the large number of votes they recorded’. In the November 1937 Borough Elections British Union candidates moved up into second place in Limehouse putting a Tory/Liberal coalition bottom of the poll. The ‘Daily Worker’ noted (3/11/1937) : ‘For the whole of Stepney the fascist vote was 19%, an overall increase’." (This is in response to around 23% of Limehouse voting for the BUF, had the Handicap of only heads of households voting not been present, it's estimated that he would've gotten around 50% of the vote)
East London remained the Blackshirt heartland. At his very last appearance in the district on May Day 1940 Mosley addressed a friendly crowd well in excess of 100,000 at Victoria Park Square.
Extracts from Special Branch Police documents held at the National Archives report the following :-
“The general cry is that the entire population of East London had risen against Mosley and had declared that he and his followers ‘should not pass’, and that they did not pass ‘owing to the solid front presented by the workers of East London’. This statement is, however, far from reflecting accurately the state of affairs.” - Special Branch Police Report, November 1936, The National Archives ref: MEPOL2/3043
Special Branch reported in MEPOL/3043: "‘There is abundant evidence that the Fascist movement has been steadily gaining in many parts of East London and has strong support in Stepney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Hackney and Bow…the British Union conducted the most successful series of meetings since the beginning of the Movement…crowds estimated at several thousands of people assembled and accorded the speakers an enthusiastic reception…In contrast much opposition has been displayed at meetings held by the Communists…Briefly, a definite pro-fascist feeling has manifested itself throughout the districts mentioned since 4th October…it is reliably reported that the London membership has been increased by 2,000.’"'
@@BlueTyphoon2017 The myth is that the BUF fought with the police and never passed. The reality is that Mosley followed an order from Sir Philip Game to stand his men down, and that the police then went on to fight with the protestors. The BUF actually increased support in the area after this event.
another one? wow, there must've been about 6 million future grandfathers at cable street
I looked after a gentleman, nursing home, who claimed to be one of Moseleys bodyguards back in the 30s. He joined the Royal Navy when his country called. I asked him how he felt fighting against the Reich being a proud Fascist himself, he replied he was a British Fascist not a German one and he fought for Britain. He was on minesweepers and had three sunk under him and couldn't swim. I suggested they may have found him expendable, he agreed. Died of liver cancer three weeks after I nursed him, lovely bloke.
Hitler was a German nationalist not a white nationalist he even had allied to China and later Japan instead
ermm i hate to be rude but any person who claims to be a fascist is not a "lovely bloke." unless this guy repented of being a fascist soon after the war, he was not a nice guy :|

I am disappoint that you didn't mention how Jim Carrey, playing as Doctor Robotnik in the first Sonic The Hedgehog movie, looked like Oswald Mosley.
I was thinking Mosley reminds me of Michael Fassbender.
Mosley was reputed to have actually disliked Hitler and the dislike was said to be mutual . The Nazis were also thought to want someone a bit different to Mosley to lead Britain when they had conquered it as they believed they were about to do. It could be argued that Mosley and his later political organization ,the BUF with its blackshirt dress code, looked more like Mussolini's Italian Fascists than Hitler's NSDAP . A question is still asked that if Mosley had become Prime Minister -could a deal have been done with Hitler to avoid WW2 ?

Technically he's the failed British Mussolini not Hitler. Mosley was openly hostile toward Nazism. It's actually the primary reason the British Union of Fascists and Imperial Fascist League were in open hostility toward each other. Mosley's movement was modeled off Italian Fascism while the Fascist League modeled itself off the Nazis.
why was he hostile towards nazism?
And much like the Italian fascists, not antisemitcal.
@@karlik4861 He did not follow their beleifs. Especially racial supeirioty crap. Mosley was more a culutral "racist" as in wanting the immigrants to assimilate.
Splitters!
@@michaelhurley3171 By that Logic Fascism is in turn a Splinter of Marxism. Mussolini used to be a Marxist. Hitler was a member of the Communist Party in Munich for a time, and was known to visit the Socialist hotspot Cafe Central in Vienna regularly.
All members of the Socialist Family tree, ever branching into different variations of itself. As a result every variation points to the other proclaiming them as "Not True Socialist." Hitler said it in his first book. Marx accused socialist before him of not being Socialist. Lenin proclaimed no one before him had ever understood Marx, which by defacto means they were not real socialist.
That being said. Hitler never considered himself or his movement as "Fascist." He did view them as Sibling Ideologies, but not the same ideology. Ironically it was people outside of Italy and Germany who viewed them as the same ideology, mostly because the outward facade/veneer of militarism shared between them. But lets be blunt. Marxist also love their militarism once they have an established Socialist State, and love paradiing it around.
Thanks for tackling the subject, it's important to evaluate as many historical examples of bad ideas rising to better prepare to stand against it in the future.
Do you just love these wealthy guys who make it their lives 'talking' to the working class?
dude was a gritted veteran of the first world war,he sat in those trenches with whatever class was mobilized with him. don't you just love it when your blind modern lens of fanaticism blinds how the world really worked back then?
@jayzandstra1830 So did Hitler and Mussolini. If you want to talk about fanaticism, all you have to look for is the effect of ultra-nationalism on young, impressionable soldiers; an scourging ideology that brought on a War that destroyed the lives of so many young people...but not Oswald Mosley.
@@Libertyjack1 I don't think you can call any of them grifters. All three of them put there lives of the line for there beliefs. Mosley remained a fascist until the 70s even when he had basically no following and had a couple interviews (that are on youtube).
@ordinaryrat It was his legacy. He did the Nixonian thing, stuck up to his guns, with the hope that people will forget the past. Unfortunately, far too often, this proves to be true. Especially when pandering to the forces of wealth and against egalitarianism.

Well done for this, Jimmy. Not enough is known about these people, and often have skewed opinions of them. Its important when looking at historical figures not to confuse understanding them and their reasons for certain actions with sympathising with them.
To get an idea of this video's factuality level, search "1937 uk election".
He also didn't even mention the actually real 1935 election, or the fact that the 1931 election was dominated by a de facto uniparty "national government" as it called itself, which had formed in august 1931.
And don't forget Hitlers rise to power through a...military coup?

It’s so disappointing to have a professionally edited and an otherwise entertaining video marred by stupid mistakes that discredit the entire video, just carelessness. I was piqued when he said Hitler came to power through a military coupe. Have to take everything with a grain of salt and can’t just enjoy the narrative
It's crazy most politicians start from being a normal somebody to such powerful people who think they're doing right. Especially dictators, they have paranoia because they're aware of their actions but continue to do it which leads to their downfall.

Just wanted to say that your explanation on how Communism and Fascism work was fantastic. Brief, accurate and easy to understand. Great job, subscribed :)
28:53 wrong take, his pro-EU state is perfectly normally for him. he was always a state believer, the state has the responsibility to its citizen so why wouldn't he join the biggest state with more cooperation ?
His pro-EU ideas weren't about the nature of the state, it was all geopolitics. He (in my opinion, correctly), believed the only way Europe could remain independent and relevant into the future was to unite, and he eventually advocated for an actual European superstate rather than just a loose political union as a way to challenge and balance the USA and USSR. He explained this in his autobiography. However I think he probably would have had problems with the actual way the EU is being run in the modern day, but likely would never have gone so far as to support Brexit.
He literally said it was surprising given the state of modern right wing politics you dunce
Europeism =/= europeanism
"Britain's most hated" is just what you are told to think. He was loved by loads of people and still is! He was against the war and didn't want Brits to die in huge amounts. Churchill was a warmongering psycho who arrested Mosley and pushed for a war with Germany. The Germans in fact wanted peace with England. They tried on many occasions to negotiate with Britain, but Britain wouldn't listen to anything. Mosley was not a bad person whatsoever and his politics were in fact different from Hitler's and Mussolini's.
Have we found the nazi apologist ?
@@C17Y He was liked by the majority of working class Englishmen because he was one of the few MPs who didn't want Britain dragged into another war (ww1 had only just ended a couple decades earlier), a sentiment popular among many veterans who didn't want to see their sons suffer the same trauma they experienced
@@C17Y If OP was wrong you would have formed an argument as to why he is wrong instead of just an ad hominem attack.

I love watching people clash over Mosley. Many truly despise him, others love him. Unbelievably enigmatic character.

The way he was imprisoned for being a threat to the British narrative, only allowed out to be vilified from the lost war. Very curious situation..

Mosley is the kind of guy that could have been saved. He wasn't driven by pure hate like Hitler or will to power like Stalin, his heart was in the right place for a longtime, until it wasn't. Kind of sad honestly.
Stalin wasn’t driven by a hunger for power, he tried to step down multiple times.

@@Snaxolotl71can you tell me more I'd be most interested, thanks
I’ll add… fascism was very working class in Mosleys era. Many who identify as democratic socialists in 2024 would have identified as fascists in the 1930s. The anti Jewish connotations of fascism didn’t always exist. Originally fascism was an attempt to answer the question “now that we’ve killed god, what will fill that god shaped hole” to which fascism answered “the state”. Mosleys antisemitism only became a thing later on in his career, and what comes to mind there is that certain groups in certain eras and places can become awful. Being against Jews is awful and wrong. Being against the ultra right wing Jews currently leading the Israeli government, who are enacting genocide, that is a group that does deserve to be shunned. Not
Based on their Jewishness but based on their values, and they just happen to all be Jews.
In Mosleys life, he saw insanely wealthy bankers and elites cause WWI, which severely traumatized him. Because Jews have been barred from the regular labour force in various places and eras of history, there is a legitimate connection between Jews and banking. Banking was one of the only ways to earn income available to Jews at points in history. WWI and the Great Depression were in part caused by corrupt bankers, a population made up of more Jews than existed in the general British population. So SOME of Mosleys anti Jewish speech is more to do with him wanting the banks to be regulated and the working class to no longer suffer the wars and crashes caused by elites.
Mosley has a complicated legacy. As much I adore pesky blinders and love their mosley character it should not be mistaken as a historically accurate portrayal.
The question of “we’ve killed god, what now will fill that god shaped hole” is an important and valid one, and the neoliberalism which came to
Fill that hole is likely not better than if it had been the state.
Mosley definitely had some views i consider clearly racist. Racism IMO
Was not one of his major motivations, and who knows if he had become PM, and regulated the banks, and avoided WWII… I don’t know if the world we live in today would be better or worse. But I do know that self righteous hatred of a charicature of Mosley doesn’t do any good

There is a bit more nuance here. Mosley fascism was anti-colonialism and anti-war (believed that the British Isles should become fully self-sustainable before venturing outward) and like Mussolini only sided with Hitler because of circumstance. Both him and Mussolini disliked Hitler and his ideology before the war. Still a good video though.
Why is he getting married at Magda Goebbles' house if he hates the nazis?
National speragatism back stabbed their own SA base and murdered the Austrian Fascists, Mussolini and Mosely had plenty of good reasons not to trust Hitler.
He was not an anti colonialist in the 1930 his economic program included completely outlawing India's manufacturing sector and forcing Indians to only buy British manufacturing products.
After the second world war he called for a single European state who would control Africa and treat simply as one massive raw materials colony.
@@algernonsidney8746 Mosley's plan was to essentially establish 100% autarky (no trade with the outside world) for Britain which was his method of making the people 'strong' (instead of war like Mussolini or Hitler). This obviously would of failed, but regardless I don't think he would do this to India since he wouldn't want to trade anyways. Depending on which part of the 30s you are referring to your statement could be accurate.
He basically went around every side of the political spectrum before he came to the conclusion that every other party would keep the elites in power and he believed that fascism was the only way for the common people to fight back.
@@ordinaryrat "Mosley's plan was to essentially establish 100% autarky (no trade with the outside world) for Britain which was his method of making the people 'strong' (instead of war like Mussolini or Hitler). This obviously would have failed, but regardless I don't think he would do this to India since he wouldn't want to trade anyways." Mosley did not want to end trade with the outside world, he wanted to keep trading with the rest of the British Empire, albeit on the terms that I mentioned in my previous comment.
"he came to the conclusion that every other party would keep the elites in power and he believed that fascism was the only way for the common people to fight back." Mosley did not set up his new party because he was an anti elitist. He did not advocate for the public ownership of the economy, he did not advocate for transferring businesses to its employees. He set up his new party because he was frustrated that he could not get his way in the labor party and did not have the patience that other labor members like Attlee did to wait for their time to come.
Such a perfect mix of information and comedy in this documentary, Kudos.
Regarding the Irish, thats so interesting. Even if it was for optics. The Irish were being evicted, mostly in lenster. There's photographs form the 19 10-20s of people who have barricaded themselves inside their houses and the police would come in through the roof or burn the house to force them out. Families in towns made makeshift shelters of blankets and rural families built into hills or out of the ruins of their homes. It was cruel!
And we didn't really win our independence in 1916 either. It was all a sham.

I left a comment stating he was no Hitler and had it removed as hate speech.
You're vids are great mate, very informative, and seem well researched. Makes me wanna learn more about stuff. Good job bro🎉🎉
Romanticising working in the fields at least makes more sense than romaticising working in the mines though, you've got to admit that at least.
The smugness and naivety of the British public will never allow them to see how evil and subversive their own government is.
Well…
Great review/personal opinion piece - thank you.

Posted 2 minutes ago and people are already saying it’s a great video 😂 how do you know ?
watched it at 50x speed
Skip to the end and get the general feel of it… 🤷♂️
We see the future.

The Mosley film us a good watch, it plays him quite sympathetically for the first half
31:04 Yeah, that's a recurring pattern, I think. Disillusioned romanticism seems to be the driving force behind a lot of ultimately authoritarian movements.
That's just the propaganda they want you to believe. Like sparkles and glitter on a turd.
The thumbnail and title remind me of a Turkey Tom video as if Oswald Mosley was some kind of 2010s to 2020 influencer that had a spiraling downfall, remembered by all.
That was a quite brilliant and well presented vid.
I w atched this because my great uncle, who I never met, was Mosley's personal private secretary. I knew he was a Right-wing activist, but never realised just how much Mosley was involved with so many notorious characters of history. Bit of an eye-opener. Good video though.
w great uncle
@@sn0wt1ger I meant my great-uncle, my grandad's brother. I never met him. My mum told me about him years ago. She remembered Mosley.from when she was a youngster.
you should be proud
Lucky the cities of England are now still english right?
righ?
Oy Vey
free movement of subjects was literally the deal Britain struck with her former colonies to retain privileged trading rights.
@@mueezadam8438
What was the number on the movement of people that was agreed?
@@tonygange7636 it is limited to business and education. This ‘new’ wave of ‘migration’ is the result of the US invading several regions (Afghan, Libya, etc) which the former British Empire had made asylum promises to. Despite being a NATO member, the UK wasn’t given enough time to prepare for the sheer volume of refugees the conflict caused. Probably was the beginning of Britain’s disillusionment with international partnerships like the EU being able to accommodate her interests, given how wide her relations and holdings spread.
@@mueezadam8438
No it isn't, there's plenty of safe Muslim countries who don't accept those fleeing into their country for obvious reasons.
The EU opened the borders to N Africa, Eritreans make up a huge number of migrants who the UK didn't invade, along with Sweden,Ireland, Netherlands , Germany etc who didn't invade nobody but have to take a certain number that hasn't been specified.
Honestly this was such a amazing video. I am glad you could retell it in such a interesting way. Such topics always interested me and it is great to listen to a good story of a man who cared but changed to be the man he unfortunatelly eventually becomes. Love that. Totally do more vdieos like these!
Unfortunately it's largely historically inaccurate.
Love your videos man❤ i was just wishing that you had a new video to watch and here it is!
thought it was gonna be an actual history video, turns out its just pop history nonsense from someone who can't even cite sources properly, and the sources he attempts to cite is just other pop history youtubers. Like come on, TIK history? really? are you seriously citing TIK history?
I found this video v interesting who would u recommend for actual history?
@@luimac3374i would read mosleys book as it outlined what the british fascist party wanted.
Mate you're on UA-cam, go to a library and research yourself if you're going to be so dismissive and rude
@@PhilosophyofElivagar How dare he expect a modicum of decent history from someone making a 30 minute long history video!
@@TheMightofDab There literally is decent history, maybe don’t fully rely on one source, let alone a UA-cam video. To pretend this video is entirely useless is dramatic at best
This guy is awesome. I like him.
Mosley wasn’t feared. By and large, people thought he was a joke (see Roderick Spode in the Jeeves and Wooster books).
That’s definitely not true, you’re confusing post war Mosley with early 30’s Mosley.
Calling him "british hitler" shows that you do not know anything about him
See I thought that too at first but then I remembered this is UA-cam catchy titles are a necessity and you can just tell by this guy that he doesn’t really think that
@@ThemoonsFullofgoons-qn9xl yeah, me too. Like, i saw the title and though: "he wasnt britain's "hitler", him and mosley had nothing in common"
@@donotdisturb275 exactly in fact Mussolini’s fascism and Mosleys fascism had more in common than hitlers did with Mussolini’s
This guy puts up alot of bs hes just another left woke looney toon
Excellent presentation Jim.
There's so much of Mosley's politics which now, with actual real world examples to refer to we see their failures. I think part of the fascination with him, is that you do not doubt he wanted what he thought is best for the British people and very openly said it. Avoiding war, is obviously, from the persepctive of someone traumatised by it, is the kindness and bravest thing someone could do.
I think everyone prefer's a politician who seems to actually care about them, and speaks to their issues, and acts as they expect a partliamentarian to act. Principles > Politics, it's a part of why he had a claim to fame and why he became hated.
You aren't explaining British Fascism and Mosley's Ideas for Fascist Nation.
You're just shittalking the Mosley
Good, fascism is bad no matter what.
@@empress_alex If you don't truly understand it, how do you know it is bad?
Top notch material . Suscribed .
The last few minutes are what scare me. News and information travelled comparatively slowly in the past (it gave a little of time to reflect and respond). Nowadays any event will be jumped on by 'iideologues'' who want to push a narrative and you get three or four versions of what has actually occurred. So many people exist in a comfortable bubble of safety and conformity that critical thinking is frowned upon. Hence, dismiss as conspiracy theories or ad hominem the enemy. Trust the experts! 🤫
Small point: Hitler did not come to power through a military coup. He was voted Chancellor, and was then granted emergency powers by legislative action. It all happened democratically. This should scare you.
He was granted emergency powers because he scared hindenburg into giving it to him, there was no actual emergency
It doesn’t scare me. Austrian painter was right about a lot of things. The progressives/comms scare me
WOKISM PROGRESSIVES scares me … not the fictional boogeyman you conjure

Midjourney thumbnails infecting UA-cam
Slowly, bit by bit, the AI generated content is leaking into the field of creative work and replacing human input. First you just ease your workload a bit by using a convenient tool to make your thumbnails. Then at some point you lack ideas, and ask ChatGPT for some. Then you're unhappy with your script, and let the AI formulate it a bit better. Then you start using it to write entire chapters for you. Then you just ask for some convenient help in editing and generating some filler animations. Then you generate some ambient background tunes for your video... It's an endless vicious circle that will marginalize human creativity and skill, and eventually replace it.

hot take Mosley wasn't evil
aint a hot take.
True though, Darjeeling
He was, very evil in fact.
Enjoyed this! Youre a funny guy
Do one about italian futurism. The art movement that preceeded fascism.
Oswald was a gamer.
This keeps popping up in my feed and I can’t stop seeing a Robert DeNiro with a moustache.
Sad that everything happening now in Britain was warned about by Mosley.
Stop being a fascist apologist.
We live in a period
Incredible video, great content, you kept it interesting and relatable 🙌
