In the season finale of Peaky Blinders, viewers watched as crowds gathered to hear Oswald’s speech and chanted the words, “perish Judah.” 

So, what is the meaning behind the phrase “perish Judah” in the Peaky Blinders finale? 

Reflecting an accurate depiction of history, crowds gathered to watch fascist politician Oswald speak, similar to rallies conducted by Adolf Hitler. The vile phrase “perish Judah” translates to “death to Jews.” 

Though Tommy had a plan to kill Oswald, someone leaked the information and the  assassination attempt was foiled. So, who double-crossed him? In Episode 5, viewers watched as Tommy breaks out his fellow war friend Barney Thomas from an asylum. As the leader of the gang, he hopes to use his old colleague to shoot Oswald while he’s on stage at a rally. “And then I will take over as leader of the party,” Tommy tells Arthur.
