Got to talking to a Freind of mine. Pamela, an old Eastender. Pam, brought up a word. GERCHER, her dad used a lot. Pam nor me know it's meening!  So I looked it up on my smartphone. This work resulted. Pamela, dad, was there!




GERCHER! GERCHER! (Additions) (Added Line)

Dedeated to Pams, Dad, and all those who stood shoulder to Shoulder - Side By Side
That day in Cable street, The Eastend Of London. 

 

GERCHER! - Was the cry - They Will Not Pass
In Cable Street - The East End on the streets of London 1936
When Oswald Mosley and his Black Shirts - British Union Of Fascists 
Atempted to march through The Eastend. 
Dockers, Jews , Trade Unistests and many others all oppossd Mosley Mussolini - Hitler - Franco - Fascist all
They took to do battle with the black shirts

 

Pam, remembers her mum saying ' If your dad keeps on saying that
He will get him self  - killde! '

 

Shoulder to Shoulder - Side by Side They Stood Togearther United!
Against the Mossalys fascists  ' GERTCHER GERTCHER! ' 

They Chanted Loud and Clear, That Day In Cable Street In

The Eastend of London 

Bus drivers and clippys, turned their busses to block the way of
The clipy tells the pasangers: ' THIS BUS TERMITATES HERE '
The blarsted Black Shirts, no Quarter given 
Shouts of :

 

GERCHER! GERCHER!

 

Translated: ' NO MORE OF YOU BOLLOCKS MOSSLEY.
NO MORE OF YOUR SHIT! YOUR LOT OF FASCIST
WILL MARCH TAKE OVER OUR EASTEND
YOU LOAD OF WANKERS!

It is amazing that one word can say so much don't you think?
The Eastenders Won The Battle Of Cable Street that day
 

Three Years Later, World War Two, Began, 1940, The Eastend
Wer All A
flame. Thousands Were To Die.

The Battle Of Cable Street, had been a warning of all of that!

 

They Did Not Pass Through Cable Street That Day
