Robert Edwards
Robert Edwards is the editor of the current British newspaper European Action. European Action is couched by Edwards as the successor to Oswald Mosley’s newspaper Action and his postwar organization Union Movement.
In 1981 Edwards was given a twelve month prison sentence for drawing cartoons which the court claimed represented “material likely to incite racial hatred ...”. The cartoons were caricatures of Jews and Blacks which today Edwards says were “over the top”. Edwards served nine months of the sentence.
His father was a Welsh miner and a supporter of communism and the Soviet Union. In school Robert Edwards became interested in Hitler and National Socialist Germany. The young Edwards described the political dichotomy as a “controlled rivalry”. Later Edwards became interested in Oswald Mosley and native British fascism. At age 17 he came across one of Mosley’s Union Movement’s bookshops which he said changed his life and started his political awakening. Edwards became fascinated with Mosley’s Europe a Nation concept and became politically what he called a National European.
