Margaret's War Memories
00:04:39
|
|
| 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. | |

Politicians Making Our Lives Miserable
00:04:31
|
|
| 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. | |
