Sir Oswald Mosley, 6th Baronet 16 November (1896 – 3 December 1980) English politician, known principally as the founder of the British Union of Fascists (BUF). He was a Member of Parliament for Harrow from 1918 to 1924, and for Smethwick from 1926 to 1931, and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the Labour Government of 1929–31, a position he resigned due to his disagreement with the Labour Government's unemployment policies. He then formed the New Party which merged with the BUF (which included the Blackshirts) in 1932. Married first to Cynthia Curzon and then Diana Mitford Guinness. Pictured by Molly Bishop wearing a black shirt (!) at the Objectors' Dinner which was given by the January Club at the Trocadero.
