A BBC Study has concluded.

Worst Britain from the Twentieth Century: Oswald Mosley, British Fascist Leader

Mosley paved the way for far-right organisations today by founding the British Union of Fascists in 1932. With it came a private army, which attacked communists, Jews and blacks. Had he gained power Britain might well have sided with Nazi Germany in WW2.


Max is definatley his fathers son! (apart from the racisim maybe)

Its actually very scary to see how close a LOT of europre came to fascist goverments.

Following the wall st crash people had lost faith in the current govt options, and particularly in Germany, UK and Sweden they had quite serious followings! My grandfather was a communist, but only so he could fight the fascists :D (Cable st)

Fascism was never really in any real danger of taking off in this country, mainly because of our wonderful election system :)

Yeah our very undemocratic democratic election system serves to protect us from minority movements gaining too much influence and provides us with strong governments, although arguably in recent years with too strong a government...

Don't forget the Nazi's were a minority party in Germany and it was through proportional representation that they gained any significance at all...

What's the link for that study? be interesting to look at the criteria set out :P

just for personal syntax clarification, the title should say Briton rather than Britain, right?
