Amazing to think that shortly before having to come together as an Empire to stave off the global threat of Nazism, we had our own fascists to deal with in our very own capital! Eternal thanks to the brave united folk of the East End who fought both the police and Mosely's blackshirts - and to The Men They Couldn't Hang who reawakened this episode through their powerful and evocative music! RIP Cush, you legend....
It's so upsetting to see, in contrast to the solidarity of the working class and anti-fascists then, how so many working class people have sided with the BNP, UKIP, Reform, Reclaim and Britain First. Always stand up to fascism, solidarity!
Precisely. This was shown through Brexit which was acheived mainly by appealing to the latent racism prevalent within the working class. Classic divide and conquer tactics. Now we have a sharply divided country instead of the working class together against the powers that be they vote Tory in areas devastated by their policies.
A true protest song sang with passion and conviction. With the rise of the right it's up to all of use to see that fascism and racist bigotry never get a foothold in the uk.
The police was sent to escort the BUF because, deeply inside, the British establishment identify with them. And that is why they resolved to stay neutral while Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy helped Franco to rip apart Spain. Giving the Nazis the training and cockiness to invade Poland.

Ahh well you see if you bother to learn about this you will discover the the people stood with Mosley were the English, the true cockneys and those opposing them were the hated immigrants white, but Irish and Eastern European Jews, they hated them because they would work for next to nothing thus driving down a working man's ability to earn a wage to support his family. The true cockneys were forced out the east end by the Irish and Eastern european Jewish immigrants. It all goes full circle though as the decendants of the Irish and Eastern European immigrants have in turn been forced out of the east end by Bangladeshi and Muslim immigrants.
I hate to make an assumption about a chap unless I know him, Rishi Sunak and his wife come across as nice people for example but in reality they would rather pay tax in to India than to the country they live in, bad form. Kier Starmer helped to get Boris Johnsonn the sack over party gate but then shit himself when he got caught and then it was all differant. I have seen several interviews Mosley made in his later years and one thing that did shine out like a beacon was that he was not an idiot, far from it.
It's scary that 88 years later people are still having to get out on the streets to stop bigotry and fascism. But it's also hopeful that despite all their efforts, all their newspapers and twits, they still failed.
No passaran! This year, 1936, was the year of the Jarrow Crusade.a march of the unemployed ship yard workers for 300 miles from Jarrow to Westminster. Here was living solidarity of Northern and London workers against the fascist danger. It also involved left liberals. Many of these workers had relatives from shipyards, collieries, docks, and Jewish communities serving together in the International Brigade, or with the POUM (see George Orwell, "Homage to Catalonia", for the POUM). The Indepdendent Labour Party was also represented in Spain - mostly in POUM. Clement Attlee was there. The "popular front" held. By 1939 Stalin had openly betrayed it with his Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-aggression Pact. But the purges were started in 1937. Solidarity remains important still, as does a shared vision of a socialised Britain accross the Left spectrum.

BATTLE OF CABLE ST I was there a a small child and most of what you read on here is not true. Grand dad had small sweet /tobacconist shop, it was robbed several times during the wartime blackouts, many shops and homes were robbed and often burnt out and the excuse was given " a stray German bomb" Londons Petticoat lane on a sunday would see whole troups of men with suitcases on the pave ment selling goods stolen in these night time raids, my uncle John would sometimes shout out POLICE POLICE and it was hilarious to see them all pick up their suitcases and run like hell, their skull caps falling behind them. British men were away fighting, and people survived on food coupons Churchill's minister of supply Herbert Morrisom ( peter mandelsons grand father ) saw to it that certain people got extra and these men were called " spivs" and they would sell off at high prices, my auntie dolly had 7 children and she would have to buy extra food from the spivs many women got into debt and the spivs would force them into prostitution to pay off what they owed, those women who refused has their faces slashed, the men were called Razor gangs. The loan sharks were busy and at the end of the war many service men came home to find the local loan shark now owned his home. Churchill's Black N Tans in Ireland were brutal and this meant many irish men joined Hitlers army but a lot came over toward the end of the war to work clearing building sites etc and a lot of these irish men , god bless them, joined Oswald Mosely and stood guard over many shops and homes through the night time black outs. These irish men saved many families as a small child one passed me an orange, i had never seen an orange and thought it wasa ball to play with. Loking back, Thankyou god for Oswald Mosely.
