Last week, as Gordon Walker continued his campaign in Leyton, at least 30 burly Labor stewards guarded the halls in which he spoke. Although a massive journalistic contingent from Fleet Street was, in The Times of London's words, "ready to pounce at the drop of a swastika," no Fascists showed up—though Spoiler Jordan sent an agent in blackface to the Leyton town hall, where the interloper declared himself, in crude parody of Negro vernacular, to be "de noo candidate, Walker Gordon." And though everyone was protesting that race was not an issue in Leyton, the BBC hastily canceled a television screening of a play called Fable, which shows a future Britain ruled by colored people, in which whites are the victims of minority discrimination. Scheduled for election eve, the program was postponed for a week.
