From August 1920 (issue No 8) "Plain English" began publishing a long running series of articles called "The Jewish Peril" by Major-General Count Cherep-Spiridovitch the title of which was taken from the fore-title of George Shanks' version of the fraudulent "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion". "Plain English" advertised (from issue 20) The Britons' second edition of Shank's version of the "Protocols". Douglas challenged the "Jewish Guardian", published by the League of British Jews, to take him to court suggesting they would not as they were "well aware of the absolute truth of the allegations which we have made". The magazine suggested in 1921, "we need a Ku Klux Klan in this country", but a promotion for "Ostara" magazine was generally not well received by readers.
