Many Britons supported the late Dowager Lady Birdwood and her reactionary views. According to the Daily Telegraph: ‘..Lady Birdwood liked to point out that the orders of medieval kings expelling the Jews from England had never been rescinded, and it was her flagrant anti-Semitism that led to her being convicted in 1991 and 1994 of distributing racialist literature. On the latter occasion, she had posted to every MP her thoughts on the Jewish predilection for drinking the blood of gentile children. She received a two-year conditional discharge..’

Every nation has a coterie of extremists and yes, the Dowager never caused the death of anyone ( unlike Noraid and the IRA), but if Heseltine is going to condemn American support for NorAid he should also reflect on the darker side of some sections of British society; Britain also spawned Oswald Mosley and David Irving.
