In the [[1930s]], Sissy became personally acquainted with [[Oswald Mosley|Sir Oswald Mosley]] and joined the [[League of English Fascists]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'') something that her parents did not approve of as they considered [[fascism|fascists]] to be "a rum lot".

Sissy sent messages back to Sir Oswald of all the things that [[Adolf Hitler]] was doing for [[Germany]] and met the [[Führer]] himself once, sitting by his side. She had a box in [[Nuremberg]], went hunting in the [[Black Forest]] and often made [[Anti-Semitism|antisemitic]] [[joke]]s.
