Ironically, during the 1920s and early 1930s Mosley was a passionate
Fabian socialist. It was only after visiting Mussolini's Italy that he
saw Fascism as the way forward for Britain (and many influential
people agreed with him). It was only when the violent anti-Semitism of
the Nazi party in Germany became apparent that the British people
realized how dangerous Mosley was.
Had the Germans succeeded in invading Britain I have no doubt that Sir
Oswald would have held high office under their regime.


"Dangerous"? I've seen the photos, he looks somewhat striking in his black
shirt! :)

By the time of the 1962 rally Mosley had become more or less a joke to
most people however he was taken seriously enough by those who had
opposed him at Cable Street in the 1930s and still certainly regarded
him as "dangerous|".
