Again with reference to Colin Jordan, I just found this book bloomsbury.com/uk/colin-jorda… by Paul Jackson & he refers to the diamond swastika episode as you will see on page 35...
It looks like a very thorough history of the postwar far right in the UK & I think the author may be @pnjackson101 here on Twitter. On page 35:
Here is a report from 1965 about taxi driver Wolfe Busell 'insulting' nazi frau Françoise Dior & damaging her diamanté swastika. jta.org/archive/nazis-…

Gevalt. this is from a group called 'Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn'.
I know. You think I made it up, maybe got a paragraph from some early 20th century antisemitic pamphlet & transplanted it to make it look like a Corbynist said it. I wish! facebook.com/groups/2422594…
Adam in the lions' den. Note Brian Leonard asserting that Israel was involved in 9/11 & I think he means 7/7 in London when he says '9/7'. 'Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn' is the name of this group.
@CST_UK@antisemitism These groups are very bad places. Does Facebook exercise any control over the hate speech,the falsehoods & the conspiracy theories?
The received opinions in the groups which use Corbyn's name are found still in the Labour Party,informed by siteslike PMJC & many more. Hence an ill-informed & hate-raking motion on Israel got passed at #LabourConference2021.
1/ With BBC's #RidleyRoad starting on Sunday, I remind myself of Colin Jordan, Britain's would-be führer in the 1960s, overtly pro-Hitler & keen to continue Hitler's work. Photo shows his his wedding to Françoise Dior.
2/ This was in my teenage yeears. We hated Colin Jordan more than we feared him. He had a following & militaristic aspirations but the British people were notlooking for a Hitler of their own. Françoise changed hands, between Jordan & his deputy John Tyndall...
3/...marrying first one, then the other,they flitting back to the previous paramour. she wore a diamond swastika necklace. A Jewish taxi driver wrenched it from her neck & threw it in the gutter. He got charged with assault - but I digress...
1/ Am thinking still about JVL & the disconnect between their aspirations for, let's say justice for Palestinians & the fairly primitive antisemitism expressed daily by the supporters who comment on their posts.
2/ I know that friends who have taken issue with some quite wild allegations against Jews on the JVL page have been blocked by the JVL admins & their comments deleted, which indicates that the admins ar somewhat watchful about stuff posted on their page.
3/ The names of many who comment are familiar to me from other antisemitic sites: Glyn Ting & Mahmoud Tashvishi; Tom Shaw, the Michaels Morgan & Murray, no room to cite them all here.
