After Sir Douglas Fogg hud delivered an eloquent speech about the accused’s honesty and his affection for pigs the jury retired, and after a short absence returned with a verdict of “Guilty.” Judge Commonsensc said that he thought every intelligent citizen had, come to realise that as a Prime Mini-, ster the accused had been a complete and hopeless failure. His conduct during the miners’ lockout had proved conclusively that his “Peace in Our Time, O Lord,” talk was sheer humbug. He was all the time first and foremost a company director acting in I the interests of big business and greedy Capitalism. He would be sentenced to forfeit his job as Prime Minister, pay back the salary he had obtained from the nation under false pretences, and be sent to work cleaning out pig sties in Worcestershire at the lowest rate of wages received in that county by an i agricultural labourer. —“Forward” I (Glasgow.)
