Black Shorts

Encyclopedia : B : BL : BLA : Black Shorts

The Black Shorts are a fictional group of fascists led by amateur dictator Roderick Spode in the stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse. The group is a satire of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, who were nicknamed the blackshirts. Spode adopted black shorts as a uniform because there were no black shirts available when he formed his organisation.
