Time Text
What's your name please?
Margaret.
Can you um I'm Margaret?
I was born before the Second World War.
Would you like to come forward just slightly?
So I know all about it.
Now then.
I remember the D-Day landings.
It was on the radio.
Oh right, okay.
Sorry about that.
Sorry, please carry on.
Start again.
Yeah, just carry on.
Okay.
I was born before the Second World War.
Our politicians are just like Theresa May and their bloody lot in Parliament because they were appeasers.
They allowed the Nazi fascists to take over Europe by being stupid, ignorant people.
They could not see what was in front of them.
My dad left Devon and went to the north of England where he drove lurry loads of scrap over to Hull in the 30s.
All the dockers knew.
They said this lot's going to come back on us.
But the politicians ignored it.
They all knew what was happening.
right now then i remember the d-day landings i went to the oh yes i was bummed by a v1 that came over the top over meant for manchester but it landed on us I was thrown out of bed on Christmas Eve 1944 at five past six in the morning.
They were launched off Heinkels over the Humber and then buggered off back to Germany again and dropped the damn things on us.
They wiped out many people I knew.
I was lucky.
I was thrown out of bed and the ceiling fell on top of me.
That was fascism.
Now then, what happened?
We got through the war, we built the country.
Of course, the politicians decided, oh, go out and open up the colonies.
So most of the people who'd fought through the war, they sent them out to Australia, New Zealand, various other places.
And then they brought in people from overseas.
The point was, they were trying to destroy the British people.
And that is your parliament of today.
Right?
They made every effort.
And then what happened years later?
They said we were colonials, we were what was the word they used?
Oh, yeah, anyway, they said, go out and open up the colonies.
And then suddenly they said, we're racist.
Africa for the African, the white man must get out.
Now they've done this all over.
We are now scared of flying our own flag because we're called racist.
I put a flagpole up in my garden for VE Day.
I've been told by the council to take it down because it's got the British flag flying.
And that's our local council where I live.
I've been told to take the flag down.
Now I live a mile from Slapton Sands.
Now you know what that's all about, don't you?
Hundreds of Americans died helping Operation Tiger, helping to free our country and we freed the rest of Europe.
And now suddenly we're racist again.
Now then, I'm going to France on Friday, Thursday.
I look forward to it.
I love Europe and I love the Europeans.
I bloody well hate the EU and all it stands for.
We had a democratic vote.
And what have they done?
They've sold us down the river.
And May is the biggest liar walking.
She, how many times?
39, 49, over 100 times.
Oh, no deal is better than a bad deal.
We're leaving the EU on the 29th of March.
No, they didn't.
No, we didn't.
And they keep kicking the cam down the road so that they can keep holding it up.
And meanwhile, they just continue making our lives a bloody misery.
One minute they're spending a fortune on ferry companies that have no ferries.
Everybody's stocking up because they're scared to death, because they've been terrified of having no medication.
And these are the politicians we've got there who are fiddling the figures, fiddling the expenses.
And then, of course, when they've had the day, they shuffle them off to the House of Lords and they're sat in there on the £350 a day where they sleep all day, eat all day, and go home to the houses that they've got, what is it, duck houses and moat cleaning.
And are we bloody stupid or what?
And these are our own politicians that you've actually elected.
Now, isn't it time we got shut of the lot of them?
And we had new people.
UKIP, whatever.
But we must leave the EU because it is undemocratic.
it's the fourth Reich we've got it's have you read the Covenogue clergy plan Have you read the Marrakesh Agreement?
Have you read the Lisbon Treaty, where your children in another couple of years will be conscripted into the EU army?
Do you know all this?
The ones who doubt?
Because it's a fact.
Me and Brown and all the others were signing away our freedom to the EU.
None of us were asked.
We've never been asked about anything.
Sarah Wollaston is my MP, the bitch, because she listened.
No, no, please carry on.
This is wonderful.
Please.
That bloody woman did a U-turn after promising me to my face that she would vote for Brexit.
She did a U-turn, and now she's a member of this other crowd who left the wherever.
And we had a hospital in Dartmouth.
It's closed down because it's going to make very nice private apartments overlooking the river.
My dad was born in that hospital in 1902.
It was paid for by the people of Dartmouth because they all contributed because we didn't have a health service.
And it was paid for by the local people.
It's now closed.
Sarah Wollaston promised that we would have another one at the top of the hill.
Of course, without the beds and without anything else.
In fact, we lost the minor injuries unit as well.
That's gone.
As far as the fishermen are concerned, you've been sold down the river.
Nobody gives a sod about you because they can buy.
In fact, you go to Spain or Portugal or anywhere else, the fish you eat has come out of British waters.
We have no say in any of it.
And a lot of you are still willing to vote for the Tories and the Labour.
Well, we used to say in the north of England, if you stick a sticker on a dead rat with piles, they'll vote for it for Labour.
That's what we used to say.
And it's a fact.
Now, Tony Blair's father-in-law lived in my village, Tony Booth.
His wife was an IRA supporter.
She had a pub and she used to hold IRA meetings till we shut her down.
Did Jeremy Corbyn come down?
Never saw him.
No.
Well, like I said, he probably was.
Yeah, he probably was, right?
He probably was.
But like I said, when they walked in the pub, we all walked out.
But, like I said, Labour, if you want to vote for that lot, well, you want your head feeling.
That's enough for today.
Thank you very much, all of you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for so much.
