On this day, 31 July 1962, fascist aristocrat Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirt followers attempted to hold a meeting in Dalston, in London’s East End. But, as occurred in Manchester just two days prior, he was forced to call it off after the meeting was attacked by angry locals.
Upon his arrival the crowd shouted “Down with Mosley!” and he was promptly beaten down.
