My Irrelevant Defence: Meditations Inside Gaol & Out On Jewish Ritual Murder
A later edition of Arnold Leese's controversial booklet on Jewish ritual murder published after he served six months in jail for libel for anti-Semitic content in his newspaper "The Fascist." Leese intended to use the topic of ritual murder in his courtroom defence, but the judge prohibited it. He thus compiled and published this booklet “in the public interest to break the attack on Free Speech that is rapidly developing wherever any criticism of the past or present conduct of Jews is concerned, an attack which relies for its success upon the ridiculous charge that a breach of the peace is likely if the truth about them is spoken!” (Introduction). Leese explores the Jewish racial urge for human sacrifice citing specific cases throughout history using Jewish and non-Jewish sources to support his claims. Pages 53-54 to discuss the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh’s baby son as a probable case of Jewish ritual murder. Singerman calls the pamphlet, “the most extensive English-language source in support of the charge of ritual murder among the Jews” (p. 108, 0441). First published by Leese in 1938, this edition was published by the British Movement, which was under the leadership of Michael McLaughlin.
