“You are a good man, Jimmy,” smiled WO Barker as the tough former guardsman was known the length and breadth of the dockside suburbs. “I knew you were doing well. The odd bit of stuff that comes my way is much appreciated. We all appreciate your help, son, the local families like. Every man jack of us. Makes life a bit easier in these tough times. Sit yourself down and I’ll pour some tea.”
WO Barker laughed. “We had some fun together, Jimmy, with those Reds, the scraps we used to get into.”
“Until you got that knife in your back, WO. Thank God, it missed your kidney. Mabel and I paced up and down for hours while you were in surgery at Mile End.”
WO Barker had headed one of the Blackshirt I Squad sections in the East End, protecting meetings from would-be troublemakers and sometimes paying lightning visits to disrupt the gatherings of political rivals. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
