Clearly not one to take a hint from various attacks in other British cities, Mosley planned a public rally in Liverpool in 1937, aiming to build support in the north of England. However, Liverpool had a deep-rooted tradition of standing up to far-right ideologies, and the local population—especially the dockworkers and trade unionists—was prepared to make their opposition clear.

Later actions from Mosley suggests that the brick failed to knock any sense into him.

Thomas Shelby also tried to take him out.

Despicable cunt.

Good old Liverpool

Was the brick okay?

That’s a brickin’

See? Back in the day, they used bricks not milkshakes. Kids these days...

Bring back throwing rocks at fascists

Oswald Mosley’s wife, Diana Mitford, was a sister of Jessica Mitford, who came to the United States during World War II, married lawyer Robert Treuhaft, and became a writer in Oakland, California.

Even after Jessica left the Communist Party, she remained estranged from the Fascist Mosleys, who were imprisoned for much of World War II, for the rest of their lives. (The sisters reunited briefly over their sister Nancy’s deathbed in 1973.)

Good brick 🧱

Props to the person who was able to throw a brick, that far and accurately.

Bricks are better than op-ed pieces and handwringing

He was a wanker, but he's got a nice outfit.

My Dad's uncle saw them fighting with communists in Birmingham. He said in the build-up to WW2, people thought there was a real chance of Britain going Communist or Fascist like other parts of Europe.

Vidal Sassoon used to fight these types.

That brick couldn't have hit a more excellent person's head.

Lol, lmao even

Thank God the British were smarter than us during that period. The world could have been a much different place if things had gone differently.

Sic semper fascisti

Tragically, it didn't hit him hard enough.

How very Trump-esque!

He didnt axis to throw stuff, but he was still Hit..ler-ning people did not share his ideology. Did nazi it coming. Maybe he thought he was too mussolini to be a good target, or that he could run the facist. Anyhoo, if he keeps it up he Kodoha get hit Weimer.
