With the sleek, prancing mien of a political Douglas Fairbanks, the No. i British Fascist, Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, put on a one-man show before 15.000 Londoners last week which ended in a hundred fist fights, scores of hair pullings and some bloody work with razors. Sir Oswald drew no blood but a good many shrugs by his feat seven weeks ago of filling Albert Hall with 10,000 London ers whose applause of his hour and a half speech left the nation cold. Only the Communists seemed to take Sir Oswald seriously. They turned out last week...
...ideals of Disraeli, an Italian Jew,''- lambasted British Socialists (i. e. Laborites) for their "loyalty to Karl Marx, a German Jew" and polished off the Liberal Party by referring sarcastically to one of its Jewish leaders as "that staunch John Bull, Sir Herbert Samuel!" "Down with Mosley!" cried several hecklers as fresh fights, this time with razors, began. Sir Oswald himself directed part of the cleanup. Then, rushing back to his microphones, he cried...

How many Fascists he in his time had or Sir Oswald Mosley at present has is impossible to say. Only accurate gauge is that both succeeded in filling Albert Hall, which seats some 10,000 people, at party mass meetings. Cooler than Commander Locker-Lampson last week. Edward Tumour, Earl of Winterton, hoisted himself to his feet to oppose the motion. First he explained that, as foreign governments have discovered to their dismay...
...this bill will have a bad effect abroad. It will lead people in foreign countries to think that this country is menaced by the sort of movements that are going on on the Continent. That is quite untrue. Commander Locker-Lampson has done a great service to Sir Oswald Mosley by the mere fact that this bill was brought in and by the advertisement thus given him. . . . Bill Smith of England is a very different person from August Schmidt of Germany. He won't let anybody walk over him, either in peace...
