REPORTER KICKED
MEETING OF BRITISH FASCISTS MOSLEY ADDRESSES SUPPORTERS (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright.) (Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 16. Sir Oswald Mosley’s supporters kicked and struck a reporter who was taking notes during Mosley’s speech at a t’e-union dance yesterday for former detainees under the defence regulations, says the “Sunday Pictorial.”
One thousand men and women were present, including Captain Canning (former M.P.), Captain Ramsay, Barry Domville, ■ William Joyce’s brother (Quentin Joyce), and a girl wearing the uniform of a Hitler maiden, and several uniformed servicemen. The crowd cheered and chanted hysterically, and some raised their arms in the Fascist salute, when Mosley entered.
Mosley referred to his detention as a disgrace to civilisation and added: “I do not think these things will ever be forgotten by us, and we shall see that they are not forgotten by our enemies.”
Mosley said that prison had strengthened his convictions. The “Sunday Pictorial" adds that a group of men at this stage surrounded the reporter, snatched his pencil away, kicked and hit him in the back and pushed him toward the door. He heard Mosley’s voice raised in a seream as he left.
