THE HOBBS END GAZETTE
A MEETING FOR PEACE AND HQ ATTACKED!
"A rally for peace" was the slogan in Hobbs Park last Sunday, the Reverend Harris preached from the bandstand to a small audience, his message was well received but sadly not heeded, both the Communists and the Fascists were warned by the Police to stay away.
The local Communist party did hold a meeting close to the park in Station Road, the police were out in large numbers expecting trouble but none materialised.
Both meetings went off quietly but the day was to have a violent end.
While the Communists were elsewhere the local Fascists decided to raid the Communist HQ with the intention of smashing windows and causing as much mayhem as they possibly could.
Using their Defence Force van they launched their attack, unfortunately they ran straight into a bunch of Communists left behind just incase this sort of thing occurred.
Almost immediately one of the Blackshirts was knocked out, the other three fought on against the odds causing one of the Communists to flee with a nasty head wound. At this point a resident phoned the Police and a car was on its way!
Meanwhile the fighting continued and the Blackshirts were getting the worst of it, just as the Police arrived a retreating Blackshirt was knocked out, his assailant carried on running up the street as he didn't want to get arrested, again.
The Police soon had the situation under control and all four Blackshirts were arrested for breach of the peace, as they were loaded into the Police van they were jeered at by the Communists who threatened revenge, peace will not come easily to Hobbs End even with the preaching of the Reverend Harris.
In other news we report the transfer of the well liked and genial PC Dixon, we will miss his cheery greeting of "evening all", we hope he remembers us here at Hobbs End fondly and we wish him the very best of luck in his new posting at Dock Green station.
