Seriously? Know any more about that? Just curious.
Well just looking for my biography of Bevan-but must of chucked it out-Wiki has it as "Bevan supported the fascist Oswald Mosley's New Party in 1931 because he thought Mosley offered good policies to tackle unemployment.[1]"
Plus he spent most of his time gallivanting round with the upper class twits in London who couldnt decide whether they were communists/fascists or if it was time for another cocktail.
(Apparently he had a well posh car he used to drive to Bristol in -then change into an old banger to drive up to the Gwent valleys)
Which basically explains the position of many politicos in the early 1930s in the UK-the horrors of Nazism and Stalinism were a few years away and there was a shiney eyed hope in the emerging "modernist" Totalitarian states.
