ABSTRACT

1956 - Hungary, Suez, Mosley’s speaking campaigns and wounds that let in the light.

Trevor, his mother and Lovene attend services at another church in Marylebone run by an anti-apartheid and CND campaigner. Bob Row is a regular visitor to the Grundy home and soon falls in love with Lovene. The year is one of great excitement for the Mosleyites because of first Suez and then the student uprising in Budapest. Row says the true nature of Zionism has been revealed, and people will turn to Mosley in their thousands. After the Russian invasion of Hungary, Trevor goes with a group around London and paints the Movement’s symbol on walls - the Flash and Circle. Trevor’s companion is Mosley’s sixteen-year-old son, Max. Later, the Union Movement’s secretary Alf Flockhart tells Trevor it is about time he did something for Mosley and suggests he becomes a youth leader and platform speaker. Trevor attracts a handful of misfits, one who thinks he is the reincarnation of the Nazi hero, Horst Wessel.
