VICAR’S LETTER TO COUNCIL
LONDON, September 24
The Mayor of Willesden described as “an insult to my office and to the savings of workers throughout the country,” a letter he had received from the vicar of St Gabriel’s, Cricklewood (the Rev.. W. E. Bulman), which he read to a meeting of the Willesden Council at its meeting this week. The vicar wrote: “We have no intention of reforming the St Gabriel’s savings group. Our members belong to the class who, in Mr Shinwell’s elegant phrase, ‘do not matter a tinker’s cuss,’ so you will not have the impertinence to expect any help from them.
“We have been called spivs, drones, and worse. So far as we are concerned, you have had it, chum. This time we are going to stand aside and watch the humorously styled ‘working classes’ pay the bill. It is about time they did, but I think you will have a tough time persuading them. “I am happy to say that I dp not hold a single Government bond. Kiss Dr Dalton twice for me.”
