In 1931 Oswald Mosley founded the New Party. Early supporters included
John Strachey, John Becket, Harold Nicholson, William Allen, Robert Forgan
and A. K. Chesterton, but in the 1931 General Election none of the New
Party's candidates were elected. 
In January 1932, Mosley met Benito Mussolini in Italy. Mosley was
impressed by Mussolini's achievements and when he returned to England he
disbanded the New Party and replaced it with the British Union of Fascists
(BUF). In October, 1932, Mosley published The Greater Britain, his
manifesto for a Fascist state. 
Mosley attracted members from other right-wing groups such as the British
Fascisti, National Fascists and the Imperial Fascist League. By 1934 the
BUF had 40,000 members and was able to establish its own drinking clubs
and football teams. The BUF also gained the support of Lord Rothermere and
the Daily Mail. 
Mosley appointed William Joyce as the party full-time Propaganda Director.
Joyce, along with Mosley and Mick Clarke, were the organisations three
main public speakers. On 7th June, the BUF held a large rally ay Olympia.
About 500 anti-fascists managed to get inside the hall. When they began
heckling Oswald Mosley they were attacked by 1,000 black-shirted stewards. 
Several of the protesters were badly beaten by the fascists. There was a
public outcry about this violence and Lord Rothermere and his Daily Mail
withdrew its support of the BUF. Over the next few months membership went
into decline.
Under the influence of William Joyce the BUP became increasingly
anti-Semitic. In December, 1934 it became official policy. The verbal
attacks on the Jewish community led to violence at meetings and
demonstrations. In November 1936 a serious riot took place when left-wing
organisations successfully stopped Mosley marching through the Jewish
areas of London. 
The activities of the BUF was checked by the the passing of the 1936
Public Order Act. This gave the Home Secretary the power to ban marches in
the London area and police chief constables could apply to him for bans
elsewhere. This legislation also made it an offence to wear political
uniforms and to use threatening and abusive words. 
The BUP anti-Semitic policy was popular in certain inner-city areas and in
1937 Joyce came close to defeating the Labour Party candidate in the
London County Council election in Shoreditch.
Joyce argued that the BUP should take a more extreme position on racial
issues. Mosley disagreed and began to feel that Joyce posed a threat to
his leadership. He therefore decided to sack Joyce as Propaganda Director.
In an attempt to save money another 142 staff members also lost their
jobs. 
In 1938 several members of the BUF left the organization and founded the
National Socialist League. This included John Becket, William Joyce,
William Allen, Robert Forgan and A. K. Chesterton.
The popularity of the BUP declined even further after the outbreak of the
Second World War. On 22nd May 1940 the British government announced the
imposition of Defence Regulation 18B. This legislation gave the Home
Secretary the right to imprison without trial anybody he believed likely
to "endanger the safety of the realm". The following day, Oswald Mosley
was arrested. Over the next few days other prominent figures in the BUF
were imprisoned. On the 30th May the BUF was dissolved and its
publications were banned.
(1) In her book My Life With Nye, Jennie Lee explained her views on Oswald
Mosley.
Another bright light in this 1929 Parliament was Sir Oswald Mosley. He had
a fatal flaw in his character, on overwhelming arrogance and an unshakable
conviction that he was born to rule, drove him on to the criminal folly of
donning a black shirt and surrounding himself with a band of bullyboys,
and so becoming a pathetic imitation Hitler, doomed to political impotence
for the rest of his life. 
 
(2) David Low, Autobiography (1956)
Mosley was young, energetic, capable and an excellent speaker. Since I had
met him in 1925 he had graduated from close friendship with MacDonald to a
job in the second Labour Government; but he had become disgusted with the
evasions over unemployment and had resigned to start a party of his own. 
Unfortunately at the succeeding general election he fell ill with
influenza and his party-in-embryo, deprived of his brilliant talents, was
wiped out. Mosley was too ambitious to retire into obscurity. Looking
around for a 'vehicle' he united himself to the British Fascists,
rechristened 'the Blackshirts', and acquired almost automatically the
encouragement of Britain's then biggest newspaper, the Daily Mail, which
was more than willing to extend its admiration for the Italian original to
the local imitation. That was a fateful influenza germ.
 
(3) Lord Rothermere, the Daily Mirror (22nd January, 1934)
Timid alarmists all this week have been whimpering that the rapid growth
in numbers of the British Blackshirts is preparing the way for a system of
rulership by means of steel whips and concentration camps. 
Very few of these panic-mongers have any personal knowledge of the
countries that are already under Blackshirt government. The notion that a
permanent reign of terror exists there has been evolved entirely from
their own morbid imaginations, fed by sensational propaganda from
opponents of the party now in power. 
As a purely British organization, the Blackshirts will respect those
principles of tolerance which are traditional in British politics. They
have no prejudice either of class or race. Their recruits are drawn from
all social grades and every political party. 
Young men may join the British Union of Fascists by writing to the
Headquarters, King's Road, Chelsea, London, S.W.
 
(4) David Low attended one of the public meetings held by the British
Union of Fascists in 1936. 
Mosley spoke effectively at great length. Delivery excellent, matter
reckless. Interruptions began, but no dissenting voice got beyond half a
dozen sentences before three or four bullies almost literally jumped on
him, bashed him and lugged him out. Two such incidents happened near me.
An honest looking blue-eyed student type rose and shouted indignantly
"Hitler means war!" whereupon he was given the complete treatment.
 
(5) G. Ward Price described how the Black Shirts dealt with anti-fascist
demonstrators in The Daily Mail (8th June 1934)
If the Blackshirts movement had any need of justification, the Red
Hooligans who savagely and systematically tried to wreck Sir Oswald
Mosley's huge and magnificently successful meeting at Olympia last night
would have supplied it. 
They got what they deserved. Olympia has been the scene of many assemblies
and many great fights, but never had it offered the spectacle of so many
fights mixed up with a meeting. 
 
(6) Oswald Mosley, Message for British Union Members and Supporters (2nd
September, 1939) 
We have said a hundred times that if the life of Britain were threatened
we would fight again, but I am not offering to fight in the quarrel of
Jewish finance in a war from which Britain could withdraw at any moment
she likes, with her Empire intact and her people safe. I am now concerned
with only two simple facts. This war is no quarrel of the British people,
this war is a quarrel of Jewish finance, so to our people I give myself
for the winning of peace.
 
(7) Jessica Mitford, Hons and Rebels (1960). 
On May Day the entire community turned out, men, women and children,
home-made banners proclaiming slogans of the "United Front against
Fascism" waving alongside the official ones. The long march to Hyde Park
started early in the morning, contingents of the Labour Party, the Co-ops,
the Communist Party, the Independent Labour Party marching through the
long day to join other thousands from all parts of London in the
traditional May Day labour festival.
Everyone took lunch in a paper bag, and there was much good-natured
jostling and shouting of orders, and last-minute rounding up of children
who had darted away in the crowd. 
We had been warned that the Blackshirts might try to disrupt the parade,
and sure enough there were groups of them lying in wait at several points
along the way. Armed with rubber truncheons and knuckle-dusters, they
leaped out from behind buildings; there were several brief battles in
which the Blackshirts were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the
Bermondsey men. Once I caught sight of two familiar, tall blonde figures:
Boud (Unity Mitford) and Diana (Mitford), waving Swastika flags. I shook
my fist at them in the Red Front salute, and was barely dissuaded by
Esmond (Romilly) and Philip (Toynbee), who reminded me of my now pregnant
condition, from joining the fray.
 
(8) Francis Beckett, writing about his father, John Beckett, in History
Today (May 1994) 
There is no evidence that Beckett was anti-Semitic before joining Mosley,
but he does seem to have been psychologically ready to endorse the
anti-Semitism he found in the BUF. And yet all this time he guarded a
secret - guarded it so well that I only discovered it years after his
death, and it has never been published before. He was, strictly speaking,
a Jew, because his mother was a Jew.
He denied it when there was a rumour in BUF circles. It is a surprising
and rather shocking lie from a man who was, most of the time, more
truthful than was good for him.
He was the most unlikely fascist you could imagine. He was irreverent,
spontaneous, funny. He loathed accepting orders. He spoke and wrote with
fluency, humour, logic - the weapons of a democratic politician, not a
demagogue. He had no time for the trappings of fascism, which he called
"heel-clicking and petty militarism". He did not have the proper reverence
and admiration for The Leader. He referred to Mosley as 'the Bleeder'.
Mosley, who was a textbook fascist leader resented this: Beckett was not a
textbook fascist lieutenant. He was shocked by some of the people who were
attracted to fascism because it enabled them to strut about
self-importantly in a uniform. He does not seem to have realised that all
this was an intrinsic part of the creed he had embraced.
 
(9) William Joyce, Germany Calling (13th June, 1941) 
National Socialism condemns wealth without responsibility, privilege
without merit and it works to unite all classes in the common task...
Communism (for the benefit of the few) preaches the law of the jungle.
Communism is based on the lowest tendencies of rapacity ... In England I
have seen crowds of sub-anthropoid creatures using razor blades and pieces
of lead piping against disabled ex-Servicemen who happened to belong to
patriotic movements or to the Conservative Party. In almost every case,
they were led from behind by Jews. It is with creatures of the same kind
that Churchill has made his pact. Small wonder that the truth is not to be
expected from him. Small wonder that the darkness deepens over England as
Europe sees the dawn of a New Order.
 
(10) Railton Freeman, a member of the British Union of Fascist, worked
with William Joyce and Norman Baillie-Stewart on Germany Calling. His
views on fascism was quoted by Adrian Weale in his book Renegades (1994) 
I have been bitterly opposed to the appalling menace of Soviet Communism
for a long time. I have studied Moscow propaganda . . . and its hideous
exploitation by World Jewry and I am more than dismayed by the fearful
fate that awaits this country and western Europe, and eventually the whole
world, when this menace overpowers them. I came to these conclusions long
before I ever heard of Mosley or Hitler, therefore it is inaccurate to
describe my views or actions as Nazi... National Socialism merely provided
the one apparently solid barrier in the path of this Asiatic doctrine from
which opposition could be made.
