One of the main reasons that Mosley belongs on that list is the veneer of respectability that he gave to anti-semitism and xenophobia, wrapping himself in the Union Flag while preaching filth and hatred. A respectability that still lingers even to this day among those of a certain mindset.
Sad but true.
The man was an opportunist fascist Nazi-loving thug
I dont disagree, but the same could be said of many of the current BNP members. That doesnt qualify them for the list. What we are looking for here are real *******s.
Haw Haw actually contributed to the deaths of many of his fellow Countrymen (he has a British Passport did he not). Thats what makes him stand apart.
But as you say, he may not qualify.
At the end of the day as long as we learn the lessons that these *******s teach us then lists are meaningless.

Good points well made. You forgot Fred and Rose West though.
I would add (in addition to Fred and Rose)
Willam Joyce (Mosley preached what Joyce practised, he was a Traitor whereas Mosley just held beliefs that I do not share)
George Galloway (Is also a Traitor IMHO)
Ian Huntley (Is a Murdering ****)
As for bad people though time, well my knowledge of History does not serve me well enough.

Its owned by the Ridgeway Aviation Society and is as you say a private museum on an active MOD site. They are a friendly bunch though.
Last I heard they were having to move to a different building on site.
MrOAG will probably have more info.
My Will clearly states that my photographic collection is to be destroyed after my death. Saves her the trouble of trying to get rid of them.
Dunsfold for me.
Quite right too, the Air Force has lost too many traditions of late.
More power to your elbow Fluffy

Sinker!
Last time I saw it, was on the back of a low loader being dragged around the country on its recruiting task.

No. We like it the way it is. Let it go Albert.
Hear Hear, she looks great the way she is.
Les its great to see some grass roots restorations that actually happen instead of some pie in the sky schemes that I have been reading about in the past week.
