His father worked for Waring & Gillow and was sent to Cuba to decorate the House of Assembly. He left school in 1931, by his own account during the Sterling crisis of that year, when Britain left the Gold Standard. In 1998, he recalled a succession of low-paid jobs and an environment of boarded-up shops in his local high street during his youth: "The times were desperate and after more of the same I joined the Blackshirts in 1934" (the BUF)."Testimony of faith" by Robert Row in ''Comrade'', No. 48, 7 February 1998, pp. 2–3.

Action (newspaper)
''Action'' was a newspaper of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF). The paper first appeared in 1936. The editor of the paper from 1939 was Alexander Raven Thomson, the BUF's chief ideologue. It ceased publication in 1940 due to the outbreak of the Second World War and the internment of the BUF's leadership. In fact the British government banned the paper. For most of its existence, ''Action'' ran parallel to the official mouthpiece of the BUF, ''The Blackshirt''. After the launch of the less hard-line and more intellectual ''Action'', ''The Blackshirt'' became more low-brow and finally ceased publication in 1939. ''Action'' took its name from an earlier 1931 newspaper of the same name published by Mosley's New Party. A later newspaper of the same name was published by the Union Movement The Union Movement (UM) was a far-right political party founded in the United Kingdom by Oswald Mosley. Before the Second World War, Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF) had w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Europe A Nation
Europe a Nation was a policy developed by the British fascist politician Oswald Mosley as the cornerstone of his Union Movement. It called for the integration of Europe into a single political entity. Although the idea failed to gain widespread support for the Union Movement, it proved highly influential on European far-right thought. Origins The idea of a united Europe began to develop in the final days of the Second World War. Concepts such as ''Nation Europa'' and ''Eurafrika'', both of which looked for an ever-closer union between European countries, gained some currency in the German far-right underground in the immediate aftermath of the war. Mosley, who towards the end of the war had learned to read the German language, read a number of pamphlets discussing these ideas and was strongly influenced by them. Another important influence was Benito Mussolini's manifesto of the Italian Social Republic, which included a call for the establishment of a European Community. Fo ...

Old Bailey
The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, commonly referred to as the Old Bailey after the street on which it stands, is a criminal court building in central London, one of several that house the Crown Court of England and Wales. The street outside follows the route of the ancient wall around the City of London, which was part of the fortification's '' bailey'', hence the metonymic name. The Old Bailey has been housed in a succession of court buildings on the street since the sixteenth century, when it was attached to the medieval Newgate gaol. The current main building block was completed in 1902, designed by Edward William Mountford; its architecture is recognised and protected as a Grade II* listed building. An extension South Block was constructed in 1972, over the former site of Newgate gaol which was demolished in 1904.
