message: The section "Opposition to World War II" seems oddly titled, seeing as how the text mainly describes open support for fascism or even praise of Hitler. Perhaps we should not beat around the bush and retitle it "Support for fascism" or something similarly succinct? Incidentally, the section title was changed from "Appeasement", itself not very accurate, on 2020-01-03 by an account later permanently blocked from editing as a sockpuppet.

replies: text: Done. It was a rather odd section, given most of it is about events that happened before 1939. I'm going to follow the definition adopted by Richard Griffiths in his seminal 1980 Fellow Travelers of the Right between "enthusiasts" for fascism vs. "appeasers". It is true that Rothermere did support appeasement, but he went much, much further in demanding an Anglo-German alliance and that Britain became a fascist dictatorship, which is well beyond what any of the ministers of the National Government ever envisioned or wanted. Rothermere may have not have actually belonged to a fascist party, but was very clearly a fascist in terms of his politics, and the section title should reflect that. Best wishes! --A.S.
