in reply to MikeDunnAuthor • • •Can't believe i'm defending an American politician right now but here goes:
I hate to be the well actually guy, but Oswald was Conservative first (1918-1920), then Labour (1924-1930), when he quit his post in Labour government after the cabinet rejected his economic ideas/policies (Mosley Memorandum).
Mosley's ideas were even supported by Keynes (yes that one) at the time.
Timelines and facts matter....trying to make it seem like they were all buddies with a fascist when at the time he was not factually at the time isn't historically accurate.
