Mosley v. Tomatoes
So nervous was His Majesty's Government about Fascist Leader Sir Oswald Mosley's mass meeting in Hyde Park last week that it assigned 7,000 London police to chaperone it. When tall, aristocratic Sir Oswald uprose to speak, he was surrounded by five concentric rings:
1) a special bodyguard of Fascist Black Shirt huskies six deep,
2) 5,000 more Fascists.
3) 7,000 police, mounted and afoot.
4) 5,000 Communists and finally
5) 140,000 non-Fascist, non-Communist Londoners.
Straightway the ring of Communists broke into mournful Red songs, boos and shouts. Then they dug into paper bags and sent a hail of ripe tomatoes whistling at Sir Oswald. His voice rising to a near-scream, Fascist Mosley replied: "Behind these hooligans are alien Jewish financiers, supplying them with palm oil!"
