"The Stepney Reds were a thorn in my side for years. On the Sunday we are talking about the lads and I settled a lot of scores. We had friends in the police and the extent of the casualties the Reds took never saw the light of day.
"One of their prominent members was a teacher called McGaskie, a nasty piece of work, always trying to stick his nose in my business. Eventually, I dealt with him or rather the police did. But that's another story." http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
