Sowerbutt's Justice

With tempers rising and all eyes watching the indignant inspector, no-one noticed Panda bending over her straw shopping bag. “Hang on, she’s a crook,” Panda shouted. “On the take.” Waving a copy of the Daily Mirror, he said: “Been a robbery of ration cards at the Food Office in Romford. Inside job, I know. The paper’s printed all the numbers.” Pointing to the food inspector’s bag, he said: “Two of them are here, probably more in her pocket. A bent officer of the law, trying to get supplies on the side while us lot go without. The magistrate won’t like that at all. Prison, I’d say.” An angry murmer spread through the queue.

Sowerbutt's Chain

A long bike chain whipped across the floor from the side door where Panda was standing. It wrapped itself round the legs of one drinker, who toppled to the floor, beer splashing everywhere.

Sowerbutt's Enemy

McGaskie leapt on his table, scattering the plates of pie and mash that he, the worried teacher and Buffalo had been enjoying. “Help me, Peregrine, help me. Protect me, Buffalo. The beasts are going to hurt me,” he squeaked.

Sowerbutt's Throw

One-Line grabbed the nearest Red and hurled him through the open door; the man’s glass smashing on the floor. Two more bodies followed in quick succession before the drinkers realised what was happening.

Sowerbutt's Battle

The regulars at the Hospital Tavern, which dates from when the nearby hospital was built in the 18th century, were to recount the story of what they called the Rout of the Reds for years to come.

Sowerbutt's Punch

As the docker sat down on the bench, Rosetta stuck an elbow in his throat and rammed her fist between his legs. Gasping for breath with vomit over his donkey jacket, the purple-faced man watched terrified as Rosetta pulled a Frosolone flick-knife from her handbag and held the pointed blade near his eye.

“You are a Red, you bastard,” Rosetta whispered. “I can smell them miles away. I should kill you; you have come to spy on us."
