Those are positively ablaze with the Flames of Revolution! They seem ready to cast of the yoke of the oppressive government right this instant!!!

Wonderful figures and I can almost hear the roar of their Trotskyist slogans

This develops into a truly false direction. The papers have never mentioned any bricklane reds in Liverpool or any other working men's favoured locations. I suppose it's all propaganda by the establishment (namely a certain Rolls-Royce driver and his secretary perhaps...).

A lovely looking bunch of scallies!

Thank you…! Battle-hardened and imbued with the joy of The Revolution - that’s these gals.

In times of war, all sorts of unlikely forces come to the surface.

A lovely looking bunch of scallies!   

I don’t know what The Landlord will make of them or, indeed, what they’ll make of him…

Tough as old boots

Not very gallant but true…!

I ask this:  Who, pray thee tell, will put these Red Rascals in their proper place (a grave or a cell...)?  The Borsetshire Brigade, perhaps?  One can only hope...

Jim, you’ve got to think, or maybe hope,  that’s likely……


Meanwhile:

After a slow and uncomfortable journey crammed into the ancient lorry, on loan from the POUM machine-gun detachment, Comrade Lieutenant Maggie May and her section arrive at platoon HQ. Despite the discomfort of their trip, their spirits are kept high by their unswerving belief in the inevitability of success for The Revolution. They are welcomed by the HQ Cadre and take stock of their surroundings. Being strict adherents to the doctrine of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, they are a little disquieted by staying at a pub called the Cringing Peasant. As is well known by all Trotskyists, the peasantry are class enemies in need of serious re-education.

The POUM lorry has once again desecrated the Inn’s garden and hedge. The Landlord has made himself scarce which is probably just as well  - when not having a vigorous discussion about materialist dialectics, the 1st Section delights in displays of boisterous humour.

Good God man! They desecrated the Inn’s garden and hedge?! Those things take years to get sorted out. The poor landlord. They seem more destructive than my nephews!

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

A very impressive force The pricks authorities will have trouble with this lot, that's for certain. Lovely painting, I particularly like the blue shirts with red berets.

Well! There goes the neighbourhood . . .

[Legionnaire]

Revolutionaries to a man (or woman) they claim. But I harbour the thought that they are nothing but ordinary thugs looking for an excuse! Look at the state of that hedge and garden!!!   

Cracking paint work sir and I like the handmade banners waving in the Borstetshire wind. Might it be an eastern wind blowing  .

But surely, this can't go unnoticed by whatever may be the "forces of law and order". Now, we'd like a "meanwhile..." to see what troops they are mustering in response to the escalating, barely contained situation! Maybe some "civilian defense gentry" with tweed jackets and pheasant shooting accessories  .

Maybe the Rolls-Royce driver and his secretary was out on a reconnoitre look see and saw the lorry befouling the pastoral landscape  .

I'm very excited to see where all this will lead, keep up the good work sir!

I’m afraid it can only get worse

Thanks, Old Sport. The trick is to take the photo from a long way away Old Leon missed a lucrative career as a stand-up didnt he?

The Landlord is in complete agreement with you

Thank you for your kind remarks, Legionnaire - I appreciate your interest. Actually the "meanwhile" has already happened. Have a look here:

Lawns be damned, these lawns will become fields, tilled by the cringing peasants to feed the revolutionaries and we need more banners.

And only red beet will be grown.

Radishes, red onions and maybe carrots are also permissible. On reflection carrots may not meet the strict colour requirements of the Trotsky Vegetable Selection Committee.
