Mosley Right and Wrong?
'I don't know if you've ever imagined sparks of light gleaming from a person's eye. This was the type of person Mosley was ... suddenly his eyes would open very, very wide and sparks would shoot out from them.'
In the early 1930s
Sir Oswald Mosley , one-time Labour Cabinet
Minister, and subsequently founder and leader of the British
Union of Fascists, was Britain's most talked-about politician. But then came the rally at London s Olympia in 1934 where violence not only threatened to break up the meeting but also led to numerous defections among his most influential supporters.
Five of Mosley's followers from the north of England now recall their experiences in the movement. Narrator ANDREW FAULDS
