no dont apologise staines ranger be your own man tell me to xxxx off if you like its just that oswald moseley may have unwittingly convinced hitler that we could join up with him.........some modern..... historians think but of course we will never know now ol adolf was totally insane thats for sure
I could never tell you to xxxx off, Ted !! ( I couldn't pronounce it anyway ), I didn't know much of the history of Mosley and his connection with Hitler......I'll definitely investigate further....thanks again mate You're a Legend....but not as big a legend as Stan of course
WELL IM NOT VERY UP ON IT ALL BUT OSWALD MOSESLEY LIKE HITLER WAS WATCHING THE RISE OF THE ITALIAN FACIST MOVEMENT,AND HE WAS SO FANATICAL ABOUT IT BUT RATHER LIKE THE NATIONAL FRONT THEY HAD NO CHANCE AGAINST THE EAST ENDS ROUGUES AND IN CABLE STREET THEY GOT WELL AND TRULLY TURNED OVER but dont quote me on that stains as i have the brains of a duck and im probabley historically wrong
anyway well done to the grove for putting up a very nice little piece of info,my thoughts of stan bowles were in real life of course i drank with him and so can say things that are kind of strange AND THE STRANGEST THING ABOUT STAN WAS HIS EYES WERE ALMOST TURQUOISE HE WAS A VERY DOWN TO EARTH SORT OF BLOKE REALLY BUT SADLY HIS WHOLE LIFE WAS BETTING HE USED TO GT HIS WAGES UP FRONT JUST SO HE COULD BET IT ON THE DOGS OR HORSES but amazingly when he put that qpr shirt on he became,very aggressive and wanted to win everygame and his real genius was that he could turn all that aggression into creativity he wasnt just a goalscorer all through his youth days he had played as a left winger so he could make defence splitting passes WOW WOW WOW LOVED HIM SO VERY MUCH love you stan but you liked a bet your one of the nicest people i ever met you lived your life always playing jokes and to the full you would jump in fully dressed into the swimming pool
Yes Ted, the BUF were stopped from marching at Cable Street in 1936, in fact there is a very nice mural there now depicting the events of that day. Most of the trouble that day was between protesters and police, trying to make a path for the March, so I'm led to believe. Strangely enough my sig is from a song called 'The Ghosts of Cable Street' by a folk band I follow called 'The Men They Couldn't Hang', and tells a bit of the story, with poetic licence of course...take a listen as you might like it
Just for you Staines! Take a listen Ted - you'll love it!! Come over to the music thread - I'm going to put some Dead Kennedys stuff on too!!
