Was that photo taken as the brick impacted? If so, that was one hell of a throw, it even made him adopt half a swastika with his arm to defend against it!

Some complicated webs to unweave in that he used these outrages to gain momentum for his fascism movement, and some folks will get angry if you just call him an outright Nazi due to technicality, but FUN FACT: Oswald Mosely is in hell and suffers eternal punishment for his sins. Also lol get fucked

I've got to admire the throwing skill of the assassin, clearly someone with cricket experience. In Manchester he just got pushed over I think.

You can always trust the good people of Liverpool to do the right thing.

It’s a lesson for Labour today: even quite right-wing electorates don’t like extreme right ideas. (In the 1935 general election Liverpool returned 9 Conservative MPs and 2 Liberals pretty much aligned with the Conservatives. With only 2 Labour MPs).

I use Safari for these sites because it removes all the ads & popups.

Also, excellent. More fascists should be donked on the head by bricks.

Love the fact that Fascists getting knocked out by an angry crowd is in the 'Nostalgia' section of the website.
