Inside Story
I have been reading with fascination Alan Rogers's account in the Daily Herald Of .j1'5 adventures amid the seedy paranoia of the Unt°1/_, Movement. Mr. Rogers joined the movement and worked with it for some ten weeks, and his story seems to me to be one of the best pieces ° journalism of its kind for some time, an example of a journalist really doing the job for which newspapers were created. Mr. Rogers reveals world dominated by shoddy hatreds and an, obsession with violence, in which crankiness and sadism combine to produce a life based uP°11 fantasy. In it the most daring actions appear 1° be the shouting of abuse at taxi-drivers (on the grounds that some of them are Jewish) or the telephoning of obscenities to the Jewish, Chronicle. The picture is one of a peculiart.Y. sordid type of nightmare, but it is when sucDo nightmares become real that a Hitler comes power. Mr. Rogers has blown the gaff on 9 Oswald Mosley and his followers, and has lwi courageously put his name to this apPalli,Ye convincing exposé. I hope his paper will enstb. that he is well protected. Joking with paranoiacs is a notoriously risky occupation.
