Margaret Thatcher once described Britain’s striking miners, or at least their Union organisers, as “the enemy within”. So Lord alone knows what she would have made of the thousands of students on our increasingly mentally ill university campuses who are mourning the loss of the barbaric mass murderer Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Mrs Thatcher was actually addressing a closed meeting of the 1922 Committee and was adamant her comments were directed at a “militant minority” rather than all miners. And this was because when push came to shove – a war situation for instance – she knew the miners and her admittedly quite loathed government would be on the same side. The side of Britain.

Can the same be said of our nut-job students holding tear-stained vigils for a man who just one month ago slaughtered 40,000 young people the same age as our nutter students, for having the temerity to ask for the same freedoms we enjoy in Britain?

We are in a war situation and we have a bunch of vile fifth columnists actively supporting a mortal enemy both of this nation, and of every civilised human being on the planet.

More than a dozen student-led societies at British universities have offered their “sincere condolences” at the death of the so-called “supreme leader”, with one even advertising a “candlelight vigil” in the blown-up Ayatollah’s memory.

Ahlul-Bayt Islamic societies (AbSocs), the student-led groups affiliated with the dominant Shia sect of Islam in Iran, are leading tributes, but some UK mosques too have reportedly been involved in mourning the loss of the tyrant whose brutal repression of his own people has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of ordinary Iranians.

Be under no illusion, these fifth-columnist Brits are the modern day black shirts, the new Mosley-esque fascists. Different colour skin, same colour souls.

Jew-hating Mosley idolised Adolf Hitler – a man who dreamed of a Britain under the heel of his jackboot.

Our Jew-hating students idolise Ali Khamenei – a man who dreamed of a Britain under the heel of his jackboot.

Mosley was clearly an enemy of the state.

These befuddled students are surely similarly enemies of the state.

But here’s the difference.

In 1940, in a conflict situation, Mosley was interned and spent the war under House Arrest.

In 2026, in a conflict situation, those who idolise a key enemy of Britain are allowed to spout their hateful fascistic propaganda unhindered.

Which is as dangerous as it is bizarre.

AbSoc members at the University of Manchester plan to hold a candlelit vigil “honouring the Ayatollah” tonight, followed on Friday by a “commemorative” gathering to “remember the martyrs of the recent strikes”.

More sinisterly, students at UCL posted a warning against the “policing of Muslim” grief on campuses.

Make of that threat what you will.

Of course the vast bulk of normal, sane Iranians across the world have taken to the streets to celebrate the Ayatollah’s downfall – even in Tehran where to do such a thing is very very dangerous indeed.

Mosley’s blackshirts were only a tiny minority – but enough to shame Britain in the eyes of the world.

There are powerful arguments on both sides for Britain’s involvement in the ending of the nuclear-obsessed Iranian theocracy, and this is definitely Trump’s war.

But what is not up for debate is that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a truly evil barbarous mass killer, who slaughtered thousands of kids without compunction.

We should be very very cautious of anyone among us who sees these attributes as the attributes of a holy man and a martyr.
