It is back to the story of the most famous British Fascist this week as we discuss the Parliamentary career of Oswald Mosley, which started at the tender age of 22.
Going in with a naive belief that he would quickly rise through the ranks it is the story of how people born of privilege can struggle when they face even the mildest of barriers, and how the political system can be manipulated to your advantage if you don't really care about the concept of loyalty.
While he did eventually develop some policies that might have worked, Mosley's methods ensured that no one in Westminster was willing to work with him. Forcing him to consider how he might secure power outside of the established system.
But remember he was only doing it to help the British Working Class....
