A Very British Civil War: Radio Free Barfieldshire

"Right, Arthur," Tommy drawled, slugging back a shot of Irish, "we need to take the boys up to the farmyard, get that Radio truck out of there, the Mosleyist BUF have got annoyed with the radio broadcasts about the Lord- L ieutenant  of Barfieldshire and his misdeeds. Using a clever bit of triangulation, have tracked the radio truck down, and want to take it off air, permanently." "Right you are Tommy!" Arthur looked up from  the racing pages of his copy of the newspaper. Funny how even during a period of intense strife, gambling carried on.
