1936 Cable Street Riots

Writer: David Rosenberg

Media stereotypes

Immigrant and refugee communities in Britain today rightly complain of their treatment by the tabloid press – the hysterical headlines which ignore achievements and label them as scroungers, muggers, rapists or drug dealers.

In the late 1930s Jewish refugees escaping Nazi Germany arrived in Britain. "There is a big influx of foreign Jews," claimed the Sunday Express, "they are over-running the country". In another edition the Express claimed, "Aliens who can hardly speak English are now driving London taxicabs and forcing British drivers off the streets." The Sunday Pictorial waded in with: "Refugees get jobs, Britons get dole", while Evening Standard billboards announced: 'Alien Jews pouring in".

Mosley's criticisms of Jews and communists were often echoed in the popular press. They treated his movement very sympathetically. This sympathy was extended to fascist governments. Before Britain went to war with Germany the Daily Express provided Goebbels feature space to expound his ideas and praise developments in German society under Hitler.
