Re Writing History: Torys Celebrate The Fascist Nancy Astor
Johnson’s Torys aren’t just rewriting the rules of democracy they are re writing history.
“When the Second World War broke out, Astor was a strong supporter of Appeasement, denouncing Britain’s involvement in the war while condemning Nazism.”
“However, letters between Astor and US Ambassador Joseph P Kennedy showed her to be violently anti-Semitic, viewing the Nazis as a solution to the “world problems” of Judaism and Communism.
She also accused the Foreign Office of being manipulated by Catholics and was known to be fiercely prejudiced against them as well.
These views and her habit for harsh words (she met the news of a political rival’s death by announcing her pleasure at hearing it) saw Astor’s popularity gradually fall away over the later years in her career.”
“The Conservative parliamentary super-majority government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson has launched a wave of fake history not recently seen in the British Isles.
Because Johnson is being compared to pre-World War II British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley, history is being altered on the man who would have become Britain’s führer had Hitler launched Operation Sea Lion, the invasion and occupation of the British Isles.
For example, a statue was recently unveiled of Britain’s first female Member of Parliament, Lady Nancy Astor, a member of the Conservative Party.
It mattered not to those honoring Astor that she was a vocal supporter of Mosley and his fascist movement.
WwUnder Johnson, the Tories merely “reassess” Mosley in order to gloss over Astor’s sordid background of making excuses for Mosley, Hitler, Mussolini, and other fascists of her day.
More shocking was the presence of former Prime Minister Theresa May at the dedication of the Astor statue in Plymouth.”

Its weird I just found I lit that Vanity Fair magazine celebrated Astor also this article puts things straight
Here’s what’s missing from Vanity Fair ‘s glowing excerpt: Lady Astor was an egregious apologist for one Adolf Hitler in the 1930’s, and her well-described estate was a gathering place for Britain’s appeasers, a group that no doubt would have found a way, like Quisling, to work with the new order had Operation Sea Lion been carried out in 1940. Chroniclers more dutiful than the hollow men and women who gather high above Times Square every day have a shorthand phrase to describe the amoral sophisticates with whom Lady Astor kept company in the 1930’s: They are known to history, if not to British expatriates in New York, as the Cliveden Set. The phrase is not used affectionately, although it is entirely possible that nobody in the Condé Nast building knows that or, worse, may think of it as a charming description, filled with old-fashioned, English-ruling-class glamour and leadership.
Lady Astor was among the upper-class English twits who, in a letter to British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, cheered on Hitler’s march into the Rhineland in 1936.
As quoted in the second volume of William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill,
Lady Astor
and her friends told Baldwin that they “‘wholeheartedly’ endorsed the Führer ‘s act.”
The Cliveden set entertained Nazi apologist Charles Lindbergh in 1938
