=== Margaret's War Memories (04:39) ===

[00:00:00]  What's your name please?
[00:00:01]  Margaret.
[00:00:02]  Can you um I'm Margaret?
[00:00:04]  I was born before the Second World War.
[00:00:06]  Would you like to come forward just slightly?
[00:00:07]  So I know all about it.
[00:00:11]  Now then.
[00:00:14]  I remember the D-Day landings.
[00:00:17]  It was on the radio.
[00:00:21]  Oh right, okay.
[00:00:23]  Sorry about that.
[00:00:24]  Sorry, please carry on.
[00:00:25]  Start again.
[00:00:26]  Yeah, just carry on.
[00:00:27]  Okay.
[00:00:29]  I was born before the Second World War.
[00:00:31]  Our politicians are just like Theresa May and their bloody lot in Parliament because they were appeasers.
[00:00:41]  They allowed the Nazi fascists to take over Europe by being stupid, ignorant people.
[00:00:54]  They could not see what was in front of them.
[00:00:57]  My dad left Devon and went to the north of England where he drove lurry loads of scrap over to Hull in the 30s.
[00:01:06]  All the dockers knew.
[00:01:08]  They said this lot's going to come back on us.
[00:01:11]  But the politicians ignored it.
[00:01:14]  They all knew what was happening.
[00:01:16]  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.
[00:01:36]  They were launched off Heinkels over the Humber and then buggered off back to Germany again and dropped the damn things on us.
[00:01:46]  They wiped out many people I knew.
[00:01:48]  I was lucky.
[00:01:49]  I was thrown out of bed and the ceiling fell on top of me.
[00:01:53]  That was fascism.
[00:01:55]  Now then, what happened?
[00:01:58]  We got through the war, we built the country.
[00:02:01]  Of course, the politicians decided, oh, go out and open up the colonies.
[00:02:06]  So most of the people who'd fought through the war, they sent them out to Australia, New Zealand, various other places.
[00:02:13]  And then they brought in people from overseas.
[00:02:17]  The point was, they were trying to destroy the British people.
[00:02:22]  And that is your parliament of today.
[00:02:24]  Right?
[00:02:26]  They made every effort.
[00:02:28]  And then what happened years later?
[00:02:30]  They said we were colonials, we were what was the word they used?
[00:02:37]  Oh, yeah, anyway, they said, go out and open up the colonies.
[00:02:40]  And then suddenly they said, we're racist.
[00:02:45]  Africa for the African, the white man must get out.
[00:02:48]  Now they've done this all over.
[00:02:52]  We are now scared of flying our own flag because we're called racist.
[00:03:01]  I put a flagpole up in my garden for VE Day.
[00:03:06]  I've been told by the council to take it down because it's got the British flag flying.
[00:03:12]  And that's our local council where I live.
[00:03:15]  I've been told to take the flag down.
[00:03:18]  Now I live a mile from Slapton Sands.
[00:03:22]  Now you know what that's all about, don't you?
[00:03:26]  Hundreds of Americans died helping Operation Tiger, helping to free our country and we freed the rest of Europe.
[00:03:37]  And now suddenly we're racist again.
[00:03:40]  Now then, I'm going to France on Friday, Thursday.
[00:03:47]  I look forward to it.
[00:03:48]  I love Europe and I love the Europeans.
[00:03:52]  I bloody well hate the EU and all it stands for.
[00:04:05]  We had a democratic vote.
[00:04:08]  And what have they done?
[00:04:09]  They've sold us down the river.
[00:04:11]  And May is the biggest liar walking.
[00:04:14]  She, how many times?
[00:04:17]  39, 49, over 100 times.
[00:04:20]  Oh, no deal is better than a bad deal.
[00:04:22]  We're leaving the EU on the 29th of March.

=== Politicians Making Our Lives Miserable (04:31) ===

[00:04:25]  No, they didn't.
[00:04:26]  No, we didn't.
[00:04:27]  And they keep kicking the cam down the road so that they can keep holding it up.
[00:04:33]  And meanwhile, they just continue making our lives a bloody misery.
[00:04:40]  One minute they're spending a fortune on ferry companies that have no ferries.
[00:04:47]  Everybody's stocking up because they're scared to death, because they've been terrified of having no medication.
[00:04:54]  And these are the politicians we've got there who are fiddling the figures, fiddling the expenses.
[00:05:03]  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.
[00:05:22]  And are we bloody stupid or what?
[00:05:25]  And these are our own politicians that you've actually elected.
[00:05:30]  Now, isn't it time we got shut of the lot of them?
[00:05:34]  And we had new people.
[00:05:37]  UKIP, whatever.
[00:05:39]  But we must leave the EU because it is undemocratic.
[00:05:45]  it's the fourth Reich we've got it's have you read the Covenogue clergy plan Have you read the Marrakesh Agreement?
[00:06:02]  Have you read the Lisbon Treaty, where your children in another couple of years will be conscripted into the EU army?
[00:06:10]  Do you know all this?
[00:06:12]  The ones who doubt?
[00:06:14]  Because it's a fact.
[00:06:16]  Me and Brown and all the others were signing away our freedom to the EU.
[00:06:23]  None of us were asked.
[00:06:25]  We've never been asked about anything.
[00:06:28]  Sarah Wollaston is my MP, the bitch, because she listened.
[00:06:38]  No, no, please carry on.
[00:06:39]  This is wonderful.
[00:06:40]  Please.
[00:06:42]  That bloody woman did a U-turn after promising me to my face that she would vote for Brexit.
[00:06:50]  She did a U-turn, and now she's a member of this other crowd who left the wherever.
[00:06:57]  And we had a hospital in Dartmouth.
[00:07:02]  It's closed down because it's going to make very nice private apartments overlooking the river.
[00:07:10]  My dad was born in that hospital in 1902.
[00:07:13]  It was paid for by the people of Dartmouth because they all contributed because we didn't have a health service.
[00:07:20]  And it was paid for by the local people.
[00:07:23]  It's now closed.
[00:07:25]  Sarah Wollaston promised that we would have another one at the top of the hill.
[00:07:31]  Of course, without the beds and without anything else.
[00:07:34]  In fact, we lost the minor injuries unit as well.
[00:07:37]  That's gone.
[00:07:39]  As far as the fishermen are concerned, you've been sold down the river.
[00:07:42]  Nobody gives a sod about you because they can buy.
[00:07:46]  In fact, you go to Spain or Portugal or anywhere else, the fish you eat has come out of British waters.
[00:07:52]  We have no say in any of it.
[00:07:55]  And a lot of you are still willing to vote for the Tories and the Labour.
[00:08:02]  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.
[00:08:10]  That's what we used to say.
[00:08:13]  And it's a fact.
[00:08:14]  Now, Tony Blair's father-in-law lived in my village, Tony Booth.
[00:08:22]  His wife was an IRA supporter.
[00:08:26]  She had a pub and she used to hold IRA meetings till we shut her down.
[00:08:31]  Did Jeremy Corbyn come down?
[00:08:33]  Never saw him.
[00:08:34]  No.
[00:08:35]  Well, like I said, he probably was.
[00:08:36]  Yeah, he probably was, right?
[00:08:37]  He probably was.
[00:08:39]  But like I said, when they walked in the pub, we all walked out.
[00:08:43]  But, like I said, Labour, if you want to vote for that lot, well, you want your head feeling.
[00:08:50]  That's enough for today.
[00:08:51]  Thank you very much, all of you.
[00:08:53]  Thank you so much.
[00:08:56]  Thank you for so much.
