Nancy had a very brief flirtation with fascism but then became horrified with it and deplored Unity and Diana's politics. So, a sort of even split between the three sisters - three fascists, three non-fascists.

There once was a poet called Anna
Who had a peculiar manner;

She'd ride on a goat
And undo its horns with a spanner.

Which reminds me of the excellent Upstairs Downstairs episode The Beastly Hun in which butler Hudson shows his racist side all due to believing what he reads in the newspapers. 100 years on, it still happens, amplified by that other platform.

Some of the most awful bigoted racist posts on that other platform - even before Musk got his hands on it - were from ex-soldiers.
