	Cable Street: when workers stopped the fascists \| Workers' Liberty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

		There was nothing very lovely about Mosley’s Fascists while the Mail was backing them, but they weren’t yet vocally anti-Semitic, and they hadn’t yet staged the violence that turned their mass Olympia meeting into such a scandal.
		Pugh is good at showing how the British Fascists used their times: the hopeless strategies of parliamentary governments when faced with authoritarian leaders abroad; or Edward VIII saying "something must be done" and then being pushed out by those same governments.
		And he is plain evasive on how the natural state of British governments became one of paranoia - terrified of aliens, infiltrators, people with different looks, languages and religions; terrified of what the electorate might do next.
