Oswald Mosley

Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, 6th Baronet (November 16th, 1896 – December 3rd 1980) was a British politician and the founder of the British Union of Fascists. Ironically, his move toward fascism followed a stint Labour MP. although he'd first been elected as a Conservative. He abruptly quit the Labour party when its leadership rejected a rather sweepimg paper he had forwarded as a new direction for its platform. As the head of the BUF, he increasingly moved toward fascist political views, engaging in Jew-baiting and famously attempting a march through Cable street in London's East end. Detained for the duration of World War II as an enemy sympathizer, he nevertheless returned to politics, albeit on a more modest scale after his release.
