We are all of us descended from men of Oak.
We ordinary men stood at Agincourt and defeated a Nobles
Army. At Waterloo my forefathers stood
in ‘line and square’ and defeated the great Dictator Napoleon. It was the ordinary man who won the future in
1939 – 1945 and secured Democracy, not the rich, not the Lords and Ladies, and
certainly not the Kings.
The great Edward R. Murrow wrote the following about the
horrifying threat to ‘Democracy’ that ‘McCarthyism’ represented.
“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must
remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon
evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We
will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our
history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful
men.”
Today; here in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Rupert
Murdoch has attempted to use his Newspaper ‘The Sun’ to besmirch the name of a
good man by branding him with unproved and tenuous association a COMMUNIST and
sadly and all too rapidly, other News Media like the BBC and LBC have jumped on
board this ‘McCarthy Style Witch Hunt Train of Unreasoned Hate’ in order to
confuse the minds of ordinary men and women in their continual diabolical
attempts to confound the hopes of a younger generation for better world for their
children.
We are all of us born from Men of Oak, and I say to Rupert
Murdoch and his entire ilk, “that it is they, the Industrialists, the
Capitalists, the men and women who pay NO TAX and support our society in NO WAY
who are the 5th columnists that we British Men and Women have to be
alert against. It is they who are the real
threat to Democracy and not the ordinary men and women on the streets who
protest their random vilification's, their hateful plotted McCarthyism, their
hacking of phones of dead Servicemen and children, their Tax Dodging schemes,
their desperate political machinations to hold on to their ill-gotten power and
privilege, their un-British attacks on Jewish People, on Muslim People, on Black
People, on Immigrants, on our Neighbours in Europe who have fought valiantly
side by side with us ‘twice’ in the last hundred years against the Fascist
Principles that Rupert Murdoch and all his ilk hold so dear.
My old Regimental Sergeant Major would have branded Rupert
Murdoch and all his kind “Cowards who would never put themselves on the line
for a comrade.”
He would have spat then and moved on, but this was his view
of Platform 5 motherfuckers, but he would have been wrong to ignore the threat
Murdoch poses and so may I say on behalf of all thinking men and women who have
actually fought for this country – and I paraphrase another man’s rebuttal of
your McCarthyism here...
“You've done enough Mr. Murdoch. Have you no sense of
decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”
