It really pisses me off that you had to censor actual historical quotes due to UKposts’s algorithm. You’re a history channel. Quotes are required no matter how uncomfortable they make people.

"We live in a period" -Gamer Oswald Mosley

Imagine going to someone’s wedding and your gift is a signed picture of yourself.

Actually, he disliked Hitler and Hitler disliked him. He was an admirer of Mussolini, the same as Churchill pre-war.

Change in course: Completed Blackshirts: Organized Fascism support: 51% Yup, it's one empire time.

I requested Mosley a year and a half ago and Biographics replied saying that he wasn't all that interesting. I see how it is.

"I find my son... disappointing" Such a powerful parenting move

One fact you missed in this otherwise very interesting biography was that while the Mosleys lived in France for many years their closest neighbors and closest friends were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

“We live in a period.”-epic gamer.

"We live in a period." -Oswald Mosley

"Britain for the British" is not hateful

I’ve literally only heard of this man because I recently started watching Peaky Blinders - thank you for all of this info!

Fun fact: his son Max was the president of the global motorsport governing body, the FIA

I came looking for a Kaiserreich meme in the comments, was not disappointed. "Direct rule from London!"

Could you make a biography for Otto Strasser? He's always fascinated me. He was part of the NSDAP and one of the closest men to Hitler, but eventually his more "Marxist" views got him kicked out and his brother was killed during the night of the long knives. In 1940 Strasser wrote a book called "Germany Tomorrow", encouraging the German populace to overthrow Hitler and actually had a very solid idea of how WW2 would play out. He was a man that the fuhrer was always looking to assasinate, yet he outlived him for a long time. Also he wanted an alliance with the USSR in the early years of his policital campaign, though iirc he wrties in 1940 how both the USSR and Germany are ruthless and does not want anything to do with them.

Why did you leave out the fact he was a avid gamer?

Being called "New Party" is the political equivalent of being called "SampleText"

Moseley was not hitlers man in Britain 💀

This man had the king of England at his first wedding and Hitler at his second

He outsmarted Tommy Shelby.

Jeeze! If you owned a black dye company in the thirties you'd be quids in.

The real question is would britain be better off today had they followed mosley?

Mosley kicked William Joyce out of the party because he thought that Joyce was too anti-Semitic. Let that sink in.

2:19 "saw his career and reputation destroyed in the firestorm of WWI" shouldn't it be WWII? he's not even a politician before WWI.

“We live in a period”- Oswald Mosley (leader of Gamer lives matter)

I liked your piece on Mosley. I’ve read plenty of that time period in England/ Europe, Mosley, Diane Mitford, their life during & after the war….but you covered details I didn’t know about after the war. Well done. TY.

*"It was one of the worst antisemitic incidents in British history".* You mean worse than when Jews were completely expulsed from the Kingdom of England in 1290 by the King?

*_We live in a period._* *_Gamers live and Marches ONNN !!_*

Make a biographical about hitler’s mentor: Dietrich Eckart

Britain lives, and marches on!

13:00 They weren't British Nazis though, which is why they didn't call themselves British Nazis. They called themselves British Fascists. If you don't know the difference then you haven't read enough.

So Oswald gets a Biographics episode, but still no episode for Miklos Horthy, the Admiral without a sea leading a Kingdom without a king.

Nice clickbait title, Oswald Mosley was staunchly anti-war and an anti-hitlerite. ZOG propaganda title.

"We can't show you a historical speech because UKposts will take away our money" lolol 😆 how sad and pathetic youtube is.

He wasn't 'Hitlers man in Britain'. For starters Hitler didnt even like him. What fools have not researched this presentation?

Imagine going to someone’s wedding and giving a signed picture of yourself as a gift.

2:17 "his career and reputation destroyed in the firestorm of WW1." Nearly, just one World War out.

Peaky Blinders is the best series ever on Netflix "FOOK LINDA"

I never cease to be amazed at the number of inaccuracies in this guy's videos.

Yes saying "Britain is for the British" is so horrifying. God help us all.

I like how any criticism of Moseley goes no where since he became a gamer

"The Mitford Girls" - Now, there is a story worthy of recounting

Excellent fast paced mini documentary. Enjoyed it very much.

He wasnt Hitlers man. He was mussolinis man

I have the impression you hold a particular disdain for this guy.

Fun fact: Mosley was in favor of a unified Ireland free from the British yoke.

This is a painfully ignorant video with very little understanding of what Mosley actually was about. The video also classically makes ‘Nazism’ and ‘Fascism’ sound like the same think when they were highly different. Mosley wasn’t even a fascist in the same sense Mussolini was, he believed in democracy in a form that allowed things to actually get done rather than taking months to years to pass trivial legislation

Dear Simon, yet again yet another ! Excellent summary and analysis. Thank you !

When you disable Historical Ai

Mosley was a gem to the gamer community 🇬🇧

It would be interesting to see a biographics video on the Mitford sisters. It would probably have to be a slightly longer one for all six but they are a... different family. Diana and Nancy are the best known but they are something as a family combination.

Starting to think this guy doesn't like Mosley

My first cousin is his direct relative he still has the same last name. The craziest thing about it is he looks just like him like a photo copy when I saw the picture I thought I was looking at a black-and-white picture of my cousin.

I think that a video on Erich von Manstein would be very entertaining, but this is also interesting, so keep up the good work Simon!

Fun fact: his son Max went on to become the head of the FIA

This video is about as factual as those WW1 posters depicting Germans as monsters who eat babies.

You got his First World War service wrong. He was in the 16th Queens lancers and fought on the western front in the trenches for a few months. He then joined the royal flying corps as an observer and crashed in training. During the recovery of his injury, he escaped hospital and joined his old regiment for the battle of loos in April 1915, where he passed out from pain due to his leg splintering again. He then worked in munitions at the foreign office

Does having a funny mustache grant you immense power and authority,if that's the case imma have a mustache magnificent than saddam's

First time watcher. Realized I’m almost 2 minutes into the video and still talking about an ad. Not watching the rest, never watching the channel again. I like content, not advertisements

“We’re not gonna show you what he said, but trust me, it’s bad.” Woah dude you should teach a history class.

I would love George Lincoln Rockwell in next video.

"We live in a period" -Oswald 'The Gamer' Mosley

We live in a period..

Gaming in Britain and gaming in Europe 🇬🇧⚡️

This is not accurate. The name of the party was British Union of Gamers. Their motto was "Britain online! “. Mosley was the greatest gamer in British history

“...calling him an irrelevance, would be overstating his importance.” Is the single politest, most devastating piece of shade I’ve eve seen

"Hitlers man in Britain" that's utter nonsense

I first heard about Mosley watching Peaky blinders lol thanks for the real information Simon 👌🏾💯💯💯

Nice one Simon! I have learned so much from your short docs over the last few years!

As always Simon it was a very informative video. Keep up the good work.

As usual, your premise is fundamentally wrong. Mosley wasn't "Hitler's man" my any stretch of the imagination. He was first and foremost a patriot and also a great believer in the emancipation of the working class despite his aristocratic background and a leading opponent of globalist capitalism arguing instead for investment in national infrastructure. He wasn't wrong. When war broke out, Mosley and his movement were quick to swear loyalty to Britain and supported the war effort. Hitler and Mosley despised each other personally too. And no, the "battle of Cable Street" is a propaganda myth - he was very far from unpopular with the working class but made the mistake of trying to march through East End streets in uniform - something never tolerated in East London whether it was the army, the police or the Salvation Army. It was still that way when I lived there in the 60s, 70s and 80s. In the 90s the Mosley family became customers of my IT business and I have nothing bad to say about them personally either - they were gents. Repeating this tired old slander isn't real history.

Oswald Mosley looks like Jim Carrey's Doctor Robotnik.

Oddly enough, I visited Oswald Mosley's house in northern Galway here in Ireland last December, there was a fire there and it's said some servants had to jump out the 2 storey building, some of the rooms still have plaster strangely enough but the place is sadly in bad condition

Well happy you guys did Mosely, also the peaky blinders refrences were spot on, being an OG buisness blazer, I know Simon is unlikely to have watched the show anyway. But still great vid! well done lad!

Oswald Mosley: Damnit! Too bad I couldn't take power in Britain Me playing HOI4: I'm about to do a pro gamer move

"Flatcap wearing gangsters from Birmingham" Lol love the Peaky Blinders reference

so you're telling me, he was destined to bring both opposing sides together and bring balance, only to fall victim to evil? sounds familiar

Your right I am never gonna get tired of WW2 stuff mostly because you still haven't done a video on Hideki Tojo yet.

If you could report with impartiality, it would be more watchable

16:45 as a czech, i was taught this phrase as a kid. We still havent forgotten, especially since so many sides used our designs, like the bren or hitlers bunker. We werent just insignificant then apparently

if you end up doing another channel i think something along the lines of legends such as viking legends and sagas, Japanese, Chinese, Saxon, legends etc, maybe not historically provable but interesting stories that the people of the time really believed in, could give an interesting perspective on how people of the time lived and thought

Watching Peaky Blinders brought me here, so that subtle reference made me feel complete. Thank you kindly, Mr. Whistler.

Here from peaky blinders

CC? Sometimes your overall volume is too low. I do appreciate that the Music and Sound on all of your channels never drown out your voice. Yay Jen?

Great tip to buy those Vessi shoe in your own size. I was about to buy them in some other size so good you made a point of it.

There was still Mosley graffiti around when I grew up. Noone wanted to answer questions about that, and despite scouring the libraries there was nothing in print about him at that time. Without the internet he'd have disappeared without a trace I think.

He wanted to keep his nation out of the bloodiest conflict in history? What an evil man!

I always find it annoying when these are made with a clear bias. You can just tell the story in a neutral fashion without having to underline every two minutes what a bad, bad man we're talking about here. It makes the whole video cringeworthy.

I enjoyed the Peaky Blinders reference. Mosley was also likely the inspiration for Lord Harwood in the TV series Pennyworth, where a fascist party takes over Britain in the 1950s.

"I used to hold Mosley's voice when he lost his speeches!" (John Lennon character in Richard Lester's "How I Won the War")

Hitler's man? Bruh this is fake

Harold Godwinson, an actual accurate one. A lot of what we get taught in schools is nonsense about him and as a Godwin I'd love for this to be rectified in some way...

Please a video of the Mitford Sisters! Such a fascinating sister dynamic!!

If you get a chance look into the story of Clifford "The Beast Of BC" Olsen, he was an incorrigible monster in every way from the day he was born, his truly horrifying crimes nearly lead to the resumption of capital punishment in canada and he took such great pleasure in tormenting the families of his victims that he had to be locked away in solitary confinement with no human contact.

New fan in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 bin watching u for couple days n ur vids are very informative and tells the stories we all thought we new but set us right I'm hooked lol on the Oswald mosley 1 so hopefully it's as good seeing as I've recently caught up on peaky blinders 🤞 keep up the good quality videos oh n the idi amin vid (never new he served our army and was involved with the Scots regiment,mental!!!)was spot on brother

Great video. Couldn’t help humming the Oswald Mosley punk song from “Not the nine o’clock news…”

Nothing about Mosley's actual policies, including syndicalism and his "wage-price mechanism." But thanks for acknowledging that stewards were organized to protect rallies from Communist and anti-fascist violence (including the 43 Group) - Mosley himself gave the rationale that the Blackshirt "uniform" helped to distinguish friend from foe during chaotic rumbles. His post-war speeches about "sweated" labor in Asia and the consequent undermining of manufacturing in the developed world predicted the "glories" of our current "globalist paradise."

You should (if you wish, of course) do an episode on Ioannis Metaxes. He’s one of the more interesting 20th century nationalists imo but its hard to find good content about him.

Moseley was right. Look at the trash hole we live in now. Sorry oswald.
