    When Peaky Blinders introduced Oswald Mosley in Season 5, viewers were treated to a new kind of antagonist—one not born of the underworld but of Parliament. Played with menacing charisma by Sam Claflin, Mosley brought an aura of unsettling confidence, mixing aristocratic entitlement with fascist fervour. His black-shirted presence disrupted the Shelby empire not with gangland violence, but with ideological warfare and political manoeuvring.


    But how close was this portrayal to the real-life Oswald Mosley? Did Peaky Blinders stay true to the historical figure, or did it take creative liberties in service of its stylish noir-drama? As with much in this brilliantly brooding series, the answer lies somewhere between history and myth.

  • 80 Years of VE Day

    80 Years of VE Day
    May 8 2025
    On the morning of May 8, 1945, radios crackled with the sound of history. Across Europe and beyond, people gathered around wireless sets in kitchens, town halls, and barracks, listening to the news they had longed for through six relentless years: the war in Europe was over. Nazi Germany had surrendered. Victory in Europe Day—VE Day—had come. The joy was immediate, but it was also uncertain, the exhale of people who had held their breath for too long.

    Behind the legend of St George lies a real man - an elite Roman soldier, a bold Christian martyr, and a symbol of resistance that echoed through the Crusades to modern England. In this gripping dive into history, we uncover the truth behind the dragon, the myths, and the man who became a national icon. Was there ever a real dragon? Why did a Middle Eastern martyr become England’s patron saint? The answers will surprise you.
