Sir Oswald Mosley attended a Horxxsey meeting last night wearing a black shirt “as a challenge to the Government to do its worst." He said the police were taking names and threatening to prosecute obscure members of the Fascist movement under the recent Act prohibiting political uniforms. “My challenge to the Government is that the police should not prosecute ordinary working men wearing black
shirts and leave me unmolested. I have been wearing a black shirt since January Ist." He added that he desired to force a test case to ascertain the real meaning of the Act.
