Oswald Mosley was the founder of the British Union of Fascists. He associated with Nazi Germany, and he attempted to organized a protest march through a Jewish neighborhood in 1936.
The British Union of Fascists (BUF) was founded in 1932 with Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. as Leader. It was isolationist and imperialist in outlook and delighted some sections of the Conservative press. In practice it was also antisemitic and had a low opinion of democracy. It was rabidly anti-Communist and anti-socialist. The BUF had a paramilitary wing, nicknamed 'the Blackshirts'. It held deliberately provocative demonstrations especially in the East End of London, which was overwhelmingly left wing and had a large Jewish minority. There were several violent clashes, but the 1936 Public Order Act drastically restricted the scope for 'private armies' and the like.
The term 'Blackshirts' was used to describe Mussolini's Italian fascist militia and, in Britain, Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists. Contrary to popular opinion, it was not used to describe Hitler's SS.
