Brendan Bracken said: “The bombing goes on night after night, Sorbay. It is relentless. Our information is that more Jerry bomber squadrons are waiting in the wings. How long can London take it? How long before serious riots start, warehouses, offices and shops looted? We’ve had some bad incidents already. We haven’t got enough police to maintain order and we can’t call the troops out. Jerry propaganda and the American Isolationists would have a field day.”
Sowerbutt nodded: “The East End is on a knife edge, Mr Bracken. There’s much more you don’t hear about. Families won’t stand by and see their children starve. The high and mighty are eating well in the West End restaurants, while we are going without. Ration cards are fine, but if the housewives can’t find food for their families, what’s the use?”
