Note the report in column 1: "Ten Million Fools Are Screaming for Blind Revenge"
(The leftist paper calling the British people fools, simpletons and even an illiterate mob because they want to bomb German civilian targets, just like what has been done to them. Bombing civilian targets in Germany finally happened, and it was one of the reasons the war was won. Notice how the leftist paper denigrates the British people by calling them names, this it typical leftist behavior straight out of the leftist playbook, and is still how the left operated today.)
