LEDBURY BUF (3) - PROPAGANDA VAN

Close behind the Reconnaissance Group, a BUF "Propaganda Van" speeds along. This is the personal mount of the marketing genius behind the BUF's "Mailed Fist Battlegroup", Storm Leader P.R.Mann. While some may think that an un-armed vehicle is out of place this close to the battlelines, Storm Leader Mann is convinced of the war winning value of propaganda 'information tailored to the appropriate needs of the yokels local people'.

The BUF's "all round" loudspeakers blare - "Mosley will Win!" 

Storm Leader Mann is fully aware of the temper of the Herefordshire populace - his older brother, Staff Commander A.D. Mann, has been serving for some time "in County" as the public relations staff officer to Lord de Braose, Governor of Hereford and Lord Warden of the Marches. This has not proved an easy job.

"Stay Inside!" Storm Leader Mann's "public communications" loudhailers shriek. "Protect the King! Save Lives!". The grazing sheep in Ledbury's fields raise their heads briefly, but remain uninterested. The Storm Leader is intent on smearing the reputation of Comrade Colonel Professor Winters Communist Front raising the morale of all true patriotic fascists in the County of Herefordshire....

Notes: Van by Lledo. Loudspeaker an odd plastic Lego part. Flags/Signage paper printed.
