Currently reading this non- fiction on loan from the library. (50p to reserve a book is very good value.)

Study of fascists and fascism in Britain between the wars.

Makes Britain look like another country. Recommended read if you like social and political history that is absorbing without being too academic.

As far as I understand, Oswald Mosleys wife if still alive and well.

There is certainly still an active following.

Not my bag though thanks :rolleyes:

Oswald Mosley's wife, the former Diana Mitford, died in exile in Paris in August 1993.

Her sister, the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire is still going strong and was in fine fettle when I heard speaking at a literary event in Buxton this morning
