      Yup and a member of the Anti-Socialist Union with loads of other British government and aristocratic bigwigs. To whom Churchill gave a 25th anniversary speech praising Mussolini and calling him "the Roman genius and the greatest lawgiver among living men".

        We look on Mussolini today as an oaf and a clown, but in his day he was regarded as a genius. That was a real shock for me when I started investigating the history of fascism. People really believed in that shit.
