lost his No. 1 imposition to a new "star"-Bill Blaster, the Crimson Cockney, writes the "Sunday Dis- paten."
Bill's is a twice-nightly turn; He speaks from the "Workers' Chal- lenge Station"-one of four new German efforts at propaganda in English. And he swears.
Haw-Haw has lost his public because he couldn't keep up his original suave and amusing sar- casm. Nowadays he often drops into tiresome, nervous hysteria. Bill hopes to recapture your at- tention by Rabelaisian abuse. of the British leaders.
"Mr. b-Morrison has been opening his marth,"
says the Crimson Cockney. 'Eo has been miking a grite offensive. "The only offensive he mikes is against the workin' class."
Factories are going up in smoke, Docks are being 'be'd up." And our leaders are "fat b- reptiles," "fat lousy" and "dirty skunks" -to say nothing of "rotten scarn- dreis."
R.A.F. 'planes are so rotten that pilots are afraid to go up in the air!
"Why shouldn't we be bosses for a chinge?" he cries.
He wants the "a-Boll-ishon" of many things, : including leaders. who "ratted from the working clarsses."
He is disgusted by the general "incomPETTence."
To poor Mr. Morrison he says, "You are a hell of ab- re- former, you are! You have le' the cal outer the bag.” But the "Nassis" are just another: kind of capitalist class.
