Brings a tear to my eye. Gentlemen walked in this land, once. People like Fred made you mean it when you said GREAT Britian, and it's got nothing to do with race or immigration or profitability or anything else, it's all about the goodness of the content of people's hearts. Fred was an ambassador for better times and the world is poorer without him.
if he thought it was bad 20 odd years ago imagine what he would think today.... this man was a walking continent of common sense and the world is poorer place without him
but the people that can make these changes never do , they never listen to people like fred who make sense. they never listen to us. when they talk its just words nothing is ever done, when we watched fred we saw a man who was proud of the industry we had and the things we made. In a 100 years time what industry will they look back on with such wonder as he did.............so sad
Fred would vomit in his cap if he saw what a dump britain has become in the last ten years.What would Fred make of chavs? plus the fact that practically anything "industrial" has been wiped of the face of the UK?Replaced by cramped housing estates full of disposable houses.
poor pepole i do not see the point in vandal i do not see the point other crimes theres a reson why its done but i dont understand vandal why not gust leav it and let them RIP tell them to get a life lazy chavs
nowadays.. you dont need to let vandals do it.. the bloody county council Vandalise's Cemetery's systematically in the name of "Elf a Safety ! " anything to stop the worry of someone sueing them through britains Compensation culture :(
spot on fred with his assessment. Racedemon89 you talk shit, yobs and vandals exist in every town. Does the term village idiot mean owt to you? Lay off the anti northern crap. Afterall the man telling us his opinion is a true northern gent who's extremely proud of his roots.
Fred, rest his soul, is so right. I think we'll probably see a return to those days of old, where hard graft, genuine skill and discipline were the foundations of society; Once the oil starts running out that is, which may be sooner than we expect.
This man is a god, I couldn't sum up the country's ills better than Fred, I agree so passionately with what he says. I remember seeing this on TV and I've been telling people about it ever since... What a legend, thanks for posting.
Fred is so right. The worst bloody thing that ever happened was the common market. I have still to meet anyone that voted in favour of it! National service was the best post education system we had. In a job by 18 or your in!
Fred, you're an absolute legend, I think you'd have made a fantastic leader/MP/prime minister etc, but you'd have been a true bloody one off if you had been, 'cos you'd have been the only one with any decent morals about you. What you said in this video was spot on, they should send some of these nasty kids to boot camps, (not the X Factor one) but give 'em a 3 strikes & off you go kind of thing, mess up 3 times & away you go for some brutal training with the royal marine commandos or summat
It's political correctness gone mad.When I was in school,there was the cane,the slipper,and from Mr Marshall,the woodwork teacher,a length of dowling across the back of your legs.You didn't mess with these teachers.We need to get back to basics.Fred is reprensentative of most parents today.Solid post m8.Thanks.
this is true, and even mps proberbly think this is true so why dont they do something about it. Think they may be scared of lossing there well paid job if they happen to offend someone
Society is too soft on these people these days. I blame all these anally retentive PC brigade that push for no punishment in schools and have made the police's jobs a whole lot more difficult.
When I was at school in the early 80's you did fear doing something wrong because of the consequences after. The cane and slipper were always shown by the headmaster to the whole school at assemblies. Fred certainly speaks a lot of truth.
I'm pretty liberal in most of my views but why couldn't Fred have been Prime Minister........now he would have sorted this country out!!! A giant amongst men.

Well said Fred.
Shame you were not around when the mindless scum were robbing your yard of all what they could carry ( brass/copper ).
You will be pleased to know your machinery and yard are being opened as a Heritage Centre for future generations.
freddibnahheritagecentre-dot-co-uk.
Anyone interested please take a look at the site.
Freds heritage can not be allowed to decay any further,it must be preserved.

The kids from yesteryear, were much more well behaved. They had what is so lacking now - DISCIPLINE - at home, in school and on the streets.
