...Ridley Road, a poor, predominantly Jewish street in London's East End, mounted police and a muttering crowd waited for a scene that might have come from a newsreel of the 1930s. A generation ago, Sir Oswald Mosley and his Jew-baiting Blackshirts often strutted down Ridley Road; their visits almost always ended in savage street fighting...
...Mosley rally on the same street last week, the script was little changed. First came some 30 members of Mosley's neo-Fascist Union Movement, chanting: "Jews out! Jews out!" When Leader Mosley appeared, the jeering crowd surged toward him and knocked him to the ground. Struggling to his feet, the 65-year-old sometime M.P. mounted an open truck amid a hail of rotten fruit and heavy English pennies (which were seldom so wasted in Depression days).

Back to Arminius. Mosley, a still shrill ghost who returned to Britain from self-imposed exile in France and Ireland in 1958 (he had been detained in England early in World War II), is having a minor revival.

...wealthy landowner who envisages a northern Europe community from which Jews and Negroes would be excluded; the group uses as its symbol the sun wheel emblem of Arminius, leader of the Germanic tribes that were said to have preserved Aryan "purity" by defeating the Romans in A.D. 9. Mosley still leads Britain's biggest fascist party, but police doubt that all three groups among them total 5,000 members...
...ghosts walked in Rome, as 200 admirers gathered to hear British Blackshirt Sir Oswald Mosley, 64, plump for a fascist Europe and African apartheid. In the dreamworld process of carving out a united and expanded Europe independent of cold war blocs, Mosley announced that "South Africa, part of Rhodesia, the Sahara and Algeria would belong to us. Blacks, if they like, could remain in the white zone-but without voting or civil rights. I think they would make out well just the same." On hand to introduce Sir Oswald at the neo-fascist rally was Expatriate Poet Ezra Pound...
