Hypothetical Blackshirt Britain?

I know that it is completely ASB for Oswald Mosley (and I'm talking about the Fascist incarnation, not the earlier ones) and his British Union of Fascists to come to power in Britain and establish a full-fledged Fascist dictatorship, but for reasons of hypothetical exploration, what if he did? What would such a state and such a Britain look like?

Possible scenarios for Mosley's rise to power (both equally ASB) are A.) A political and military coup d'etat involving a conspiracy with King Edward VIII (the plot of Guy Walters' book The Leader) , OR B.) A German invasion installs Mosley as puppet leader.

The first option would allow for much more freedom for Mosley and his BUF program to pursue a truly native British fascism, as obviously the second one would see his regime heavily influenced by German Nazism and require him to give in to crazy German demands of sending the UK's workforce to labour in Russia, giving away RN battleships and seapower, paying reparations, etc. It would be like the difference between the original Italian Fascist state that Mussolini founded in the 20's and the "Italian Social Republic" of 1943, which was a pure Nazi creation and puppet.

According to Wikipedia, British society will be remodeled in this fashion;
Mosley, known to his followers as The Leader, modelled his leadership style on Benito Mussolini and the BUF on Mussolini's National Fascist Party in Italy, including an imitation of the Italian Fascists' black uniforms for members, earning them the nickname "Blackshirts". The BUF was anti-communist and protectionist, and proposed replacing parliamentary democracy with executives elected to represent specific industries, trades or other professional interest groups – a system similar to the corporatism of the Italian fascists. Unlike the Italian system, British fascist corporatism planned to replace the House of Lords with elected executives drawn from major industries, the clergy, and colonies. The House of Commons was to be reduced to allow for a faster, "less factionist" democracy.[2]
The BUF's programme and ideology were outlined in Mosley's Great Britain (1932) and A. Raven Thompson's The Coming Corporate State (1938). Many BUF policies were built on isolationism, prohibiting trade outside an insulated British Empire. Mosley’s system aimed to protect the British economy from the fluctuations of the world market, especially during the Great Depression, and prevent "cheap slave competition from abroad." [3]
But what exactly would the implementation of this programme look like? How "fascist", dictatorial and totalitarian, would Mosley and the BUF be once in power? To what extent could Britain's free and democratic traditions be changed and replaced by the Fascists? Would other parties be abolished? How would this affect the Empire? Would the concentration camps on the Isle of Man be reopened? What else could be said of this hypothetical BUF regime?
 
I'm afraid that P.G Wodehouse put it much better than I could:

The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?" Bertie Wooster in The Code of the Woosters

Such things as Blackshirts "would not do" in Thirties Britain. However, a slow careful slide from the General Strike onwards into an Unfascist Britain would be more than possible. You know, the right sort of chaps, just helping out the other right sort of chaps and stopping the wrong sort of chaps.
 
I suppose in the ASB Nazi-wank post-Sea*cough* scenario, the answer to the question would be "exactly as dictatorial as the German occupation authority wanted it to be". Look how people like Quisling and Mussert got on - you could almost feel sorry for them (with very heavy emphasis on the "almost"). Mind you, they both did explicitly identify as National Socialist and sort of pan-Nordic iirc - I guess Mosleyite fascism might be too wet for Adolf's liking, even if they did decide to install a puppet "Leader". Who were the prominent BUF members and sometime members who were out-and-out Nazis? Joyce, I guess...but who else? And, you know, Nazis being Nazis, different Third Reich organs might well decide to support different bands of would-be British fascist rulers and play them all off against each other (you know, like they did in the Netherlands, setting up a Dutch SS that directly answered to Himmler while paying lip service to Mussert) while providing a figleaf for total German control...

Hmm...I also seem to remember reading somewhere that Mosley and Edward VIII, while they might have had some hangers-on in common, personally rather disliked each other, which might cause other complications...

But yes, the slightly less ASB and therefore probably more interesting scenario is the one where Britain turns fascist without any pinnipeds or the like getting involved. I too sort of find the UnFascist model a bit more plausible there, without anything that acts as a direct analogue to continental fascism, although you never know... But yes, something much more low-key and insidious and probably no less unpleasant in the long run for all that...
