While you pondered the meaning of words, gold paused. There are no believers left. On another line, Wasn't Hitler anti-gold? Nazi Sympathisers Inside The Elite British Establishment Revealed Exclusive By Paul Lashmarindependent.co.uk 1-9-00 A list of leading Nazi sympathisers in the British establishment at the outbreak of the Second World War has at last been put on public view. The infamous Red Book, which reveals the membership of the upper-class Right Club, was written more than 60 years ago. It offers a chilling insight into the virulence of the anti-Semitism which was rife among peers, MPs, knights of the realm and other leading society figures at that time. Those listed include the 5th Duke of Westminster, the second Baron Redesdale (the father of the Mitford sisters) and the famous aviator Lord Sempill who was later suspected of spying for the Japanese. Others named are The Earl of Galloway, Lord Carnegie, Lord Ronald Graham and William Joyce, who later achieved notoriety as Lord Haw-Haw, broadcasting propaganda from Germany . The Right Club was set up by Captain Archibald Ramsay MP, an outspoken anti-Semite, a few months before the war in May 1939 "to oppose and expose the activities of Organised Jewry". In meetings chaired by the Duke of Wellington it sought to influence government policy to stop war with Germany. Ramsay drew up the secret membership list in his distinctive spiky handwriting. There are 135 names on the men's list and 100 on the women's. In the women's list is Anna Wolkoff, who was later accused of spying with American cypher clerk Tyler Kent. Also listed is Majorie Amor, one of several MI5 agents who had infiltrated the club. Interleaved in the Red Book are a number of extraordinary documents relating to Ramsay and the Right Club. These included a manuscript of his vicious anti-semitic rhyme "Land of Dope and Jewry", hand-written by Ramsay on House of Commons notepaper the day after war was declared. There is also a letter from the man who was to become Lord Haw-Haw, apologising for being able to afford only five shillings (25p) as his membership fee. (cont)sightings.com
