What a great man Sir Oswald was, pity he was never PM then we could have had a nice, peaceful, picture perfect Britain. Now if anyone`s got a problem with that come on I support Sir Oswald Mosley and his politics and so I will to the day I die. Come on don`t hide from the Political Correcness lot. Announce your admiration for him. I know their`s many of you out their. Oh and for any of the PC brigade`s information I`m not a bloody skinhead Nazi, I don`t want to go out and kill everyone who does`nt agree with me. I`m an admirer of Sir Oswald and I dream about what Britain would have been like if he was PM. Good Day. God Save the Queen.
- I don't see what this has to do with the writing of the article. Save your comments for a political site or something.
"New Party" links to the New Party of China, not the defunct party of England, in which context it appears.
- That seems to be fixed now (although there is nothing in the newly linked to article)
The victim of Jewish violence? Really? I know it's just a stereotype, but still. --Charles A. L. 07:39, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you objecting to the word Jewish, are you saying that Jewish groups weren't involved in violence against the BUF or are you saying the sentence should be re-worded so that the BUF don't sound like the innocent party (which they probably weren't)? --Cjrother 00:01, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
The article states that Mosley fell out with the Conservative Party over the Blacks and Tans. Was he oppposed to them or did he support them? The Conservative Party first supported them and them opposed them I believe so I can't figure it out woth help of the context.
- Mosley opposed the use of brutal measures to repress the Irish. David | Talk 14:54, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
When was he knighted and what for? 83.217.166.9 20:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- He wasn't knighted; he was a hereditary baronet. Mackensen (talk) 21:18, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- This fact should probably be written into the preface. It's probably a relatively little known, but nonetheless relevant - 81.110.41.5 03:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- It is; he's clearly referred to as the 6th Baronet. Readers who aren't sure what a baronet is only have to click the link to the article 'baronet'. Martan 18:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I changed the mention of the Daily Mail. In the 1930s it was not a tabloid size newspaper, but a broadsheet. It became a tabloid format paper in the 1970s, I believe.Martinscholes 22:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of his death? How did he die?
This article is completely ambiguous. People have asked questions on this discussion page about the ambiguity of the article to have their questions answered here by Wiki users. Why don't the people answering the questions update the article? - zippy.fuzz@gmail.com 21:46 (GMT) 16 November 2006
I have changed the description of the BUF as 'becoming increasingly right-wing... ' to becoming increasingly authoritarian...'. The right-wing label really does not fit as Mosley was a former Labour minister who was on a clear path towards more radical Socialism with every year he lived. The majority of his supporters were also drawn from the Labour party. The parallels here with the National Socialists of Germany (Nazi party) and Hitler’s social policy are strong. The BUF does not fit into our traditional view of left and right in Britain and so should best be avoided in this article.
Anyone wondering where the thinking behind this comes from should bear in mind that there is a strong argument that Fascism is a type of Communism and both belong on the autocratic state controlled left, whilst it is anarchy (or at least the absence of laws, depending on whether one believes in natural order) that is the logical extension of the individual freedoms cherished by right wingers.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.86.132.225 (talk) 17:32, 8 February, 2007 (UTC)
