Tacitus Speaks will examine historical and present day fascism and the far right in the UK. I will examine the fascism during the inter-war years (British Fascisti, Mosely and the BUF), the post-war far right as well as current issues within present day fascist movements across Europe and the US.. One of the core themes will be to understand what is fascism, why do people become fascists and how did history help create the modern day far-right.

In memory of Ron Dorman
This blogger has been informed that Ron Dorman died sometime overnight between the 20th and 21st March. He was 84.
Those who knew him inform me Ron was a long standing activist in the Socialist/ Communist movement. In his latter days he concentrated on his work in CAEF and other anti-EU campaigns. He was also active in the Stockland Green Anti-Cuts Group and the West Midlands Pensioners Convention.
Ron had been a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) and the Communist Party of Britain (CPB). In the CPGB he was active at branch level and was a branch secretary.
Perhaps some readers will have worked with Ron over the years and may have had disagreements with him - they are of no consequence now. May he be remembered for his hard work and dogged determination.
Let us remember him as he would have wanted - by continuing the struggle.
