Yes, Mosley started as a Conservative, then became an Independant, then joined Labour, then set up his own party which eventually became the BUF. Incidentally, after the war he set up yet another party to campaign for a United Europe. Max Mosley controls the FIA, the governing body of world motorsport.

I would conclude from what you have stated that Mosley was at one time a conservative and then a labourite and then as the leader of the British facsist party a British fascist. I do think however that Edward was forced into abdication partly because of his political views and his subsequent posting to Bermuda was to reinforce the abdication at a very sensitive time in British history. Thamkfuly the extreme views which held sway in Europe at the time such as forced sterilisations of those unfit to be part of society, never gained the political momentum in Brittan that they did in other countries. Just my 2 quids worth. Who is Max Mosley? Thanks for your message, God bless You.

Edward - well, for all that he appears to have been a facsist symapthiser, his abdication was not related to that, nor was his departure from England - however, it is I think true to say that his role as Governer of the Bahamas was intended to keep him well and truly out of the way until the war ended. ----- Original Message ---- From: redleica <redleica@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, 8 September, 2006 9:54:23 AM Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Rollei TLR - The History by Ian Parker The leading fascist in England was from my home county Derbyshire, his name was Mosley the government locked him up during the war and the English King Edward who was a Nazi smypathiser was "kicked out" of England. Overall I don't think its a case of good and bad in the sense implied however its a case of when bad ovtweighs good in a system and you end up with a fascist rule like Germany or variuos South American countries. Just my 2 pesetas. Good documentary material for a Rollie though. Thanks for your message, God bless You.
