I still believe that, after Edward, Oswald Mosley was the most prominent British fascist.

Initially I thought this might be about a certain member of the Royal Family but I suppose that is so well documented it needs no retelling.

Viscountess Nancy Astor, (1876-1946) american born but adopted into the british aristocraticy by marriage to Waldor Astor, was Englands first woman to take seat as a mp. and reportedly antisemitic and a supporter of fascism and nazism. As a member of the Cliveden set, british aristocrats that subscribed to fascism, she invited Joachim von Ribbentrop ( Hitlers foreign minister) in 1936, to get an angelo/german collaboration going. She saw nazism and Hitler as an antidote against bolsjevism. A viewpoint she shared with then american ambassodor in London Joseph Kennedy, John F Kennedys father.
