Are the Spirits of Adolph Hitler, Mussolini, and Oswald Moseley still with us Today?

Adolph Hitler, Mussolini, and our own fascist leader Sir Oswald Moseley have been long dead. Instead of their ideology and deeds being recorded as an epoch in 20th century history where all decent mankind should do their endeavour to remember but to be so repulsed by it.

The determination that these people should not live in spirit for others to take up the mantle of their wicked deeds should be of paramount importance to us all. Yet today we are witnessing the revival of their hideous doctrine throughout Europe and the United States. In France the French Nazi movement has now become a prominent part of the French political scene throughout other parts of Europe, Germany, Norway, Denmark and Sweden The Nazi movement is growing in momentum.

Here in England we have the British Union of Fascists, the Empire League and the National Front. These people are now in a position of infiltrating and influencing the policies of recognised parties.

Did not Churchill tell us in the West Indies we should help defeat the greatest evil ever unleashed on mankind, so it will never rise again.At the end of the War we thought we did just that.

Do you wonder why the black youth of Britain are completely demoralized and disillusioned?

The organized attacks by the supporters of the National Front upon Black and Asian youth and their families. The burning down of their houses, shops and factories in the East End and elsewhere in London have become common place.

Retaliations must never be excluded, we are all aware such retaliations cannot be in the best interest of society. Recriminations have become the order of confrontation and conflict is beginning to become the norm.

We are a nation who seems to react to situations but seem reluctant or incapable of presenting any solution. Is it because we are either too negative or is it because we are too set in our ways, that we are incapable of learning by our mistakes.

One can say we have not overcome the reflection of our glorious past, when the sun never sets on our empire. Where such an empire consists of an arsenal full of slaves, and a cesspool of poverty.

Where our factories were the work shops of the world and we had no competition. We cannot hang onto a past which is gone forever; neither can we turn such exploitation of the past within. Nor can we subjugate our own people because to do so would lead to the destruction of ourselves.
