CHARLES WEGG-PROSSER, a law graduate and product of Downside Independent Catholic School, enthusiastically joined the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1934, taking at face value Oswald Mosley’s propagandist arguments about how he would build “A Greater Britain.”
Wegg-Prosser believed that the fascist movement was a radical force for social progress and national unity.
At one time he was director of its large Shoreditch branch and later stood as a BUF candidate in the 1937 local election in another of its strongholds, Limehouse.
