Roderick Spode is depicted as the leader of a fascist group called the Saviours of Britain, often referred to as the 'Black Shorts'. The mention of 'shorts' is a playful twist on the term 'shirts', which is commonly associated with fascist organizations. However, by the time Spode established his group, they had resorted to wearing black shorts instead of the traditional shirts.
This humorous commentary by author P.G. Wodehouse highlights the absurdity of Spode's movement, pointing out the disconnection between the group's ideology and their choice of attire. It reflects Wodehouse's comedic style, combining satire with a light-hearted critique of political movements.
