Read our privacy policy A clip of Danny Dyer discussing Oswald Mosley has gone viral, after it aired in a documentary the actor presented on late playwright Harold Pinter. During the documentary, Dyer examines Pinter’s childhood as a young Jewish boy living in the East End of London during the Thirties, surrounded by Nazi sentiments and Oswald Mosley’s blackshirts. “My East End was full of love,” Dyer began, “but it sounds like young Harold lived with hate.” He continued: “Everyone down here knows about the Cable Street riot in 1936, when Oswald Mosley and his blackshirts – not a boyband, but a bunch of fascist slags – came goosestepping down the street.” Dyer then showed a photo of Mosley, referring to him as a “melt”. “Danny Dyer calling Oswald Mosley a melt is what I didn't know I had always wanted to see,” another said.
