Michael Foot's Magician

[densaner77]

Michael Foot. What a legend!

[andy191266]

one of the greatest talks in my time

[324wilson]

A great man. Even though, I disagree with many of his policies, he was a great man!

[andy191266]

This is a very compassionate, brught socialist man. That is, the best of men.

[lynne1412]

He was a brilliant ,hardworking,unselfish talented man. I could watch him for hours. Not sure what planet the warriorprat is from with his comments, obviously not a one where he has observed Michael Foot. Planet Cameron perhaps?

[Keithj136]

Class,they just dont make them like Michael any more,god rest his sole.

[TheJoynesy]

Puts a smile on the face, a fine speech!

[newtondecoy]

Privileged to have heard and met Michael as a Plymothian-believe me he was one of the very great orators as this speech demonstrates.

[IHARVWD]

what year was this?

[andrewstoneTGS]

and smile even at 7a.m.

[wallygator100]

Brilliant Oratory. I only knew him in his final days.

[MegaFooty1]

usual rubbish about michael foot being a spy, based on pure ignorance and malicious lies...

[Lokster1889]

Glad to see the same of smears about Michael Foot being trotted out by people who know nothing about history in general or Michael Foot in particular. He was never a KGB agent. His stance against appeasement put him on the same side of the fence as Churchill before WW2 started & he was anti-fascist from the beginning unlike some Tories we could mention who would have quite happily seen Hitler victorious (providing he kindly left us well alone).

But I'm sure the smears will keep coming

[klausflouride]

Effortlessly brilliant and funny.

[92af]

I was crying as soon as i heard that Michael Foot was dead

[1962blackford]

Brilliant! O how you are needed now. He could be talking about Clegg

[barneswriter]

I think is the no confidence debate which led to the 1979 election. Foot poured acid over the whole Tory front bench with his brilliance!

Rubbish postings here about the KGB. Michael Foot was a great patriot and non appeaser in the 1930s. He was deeply happy man.

[MjoEm32]

@barneswriter It's actually from after the Thatcher government had taken over - his target is Sir Keith Joseph, the new Secretary of State at the DTI, aka the "mad monk"...

[warriorprince1010]

He stood up for communism and the destruction of the free world. He took money from the KGB and died a millionaire and a hypocrite. Like Gordon Brown a very cruel and a very unhappy man. Fake anger and exploiting the poor to get power and wealth.

[MjoEm32]

@warriorprince1010 Absolute crap. Why do you bother to make this rubbish up? There's nothing fake about the anger, and where's your evidence that he was unhappy? You're a disgrace.

[warriorprince1010]

@MjoEm32 You are a disgrace. Communism is pure evil and the poverty caused by Foot, Wilson and Brown has ruined millions of decent peoples lives. Foot took money from the KGB and betrayed decent people. His speeches were indeed fake anger funded by the KGB.

[optionsupdate]

@warriorprince1010 in you youtube favourites you have a winston churchill was not he in the of communism also?

[warriorprince1010]

@optionsupdate Churchill stood up to socialism. Foot stood with socialism. A difference. Foot [KGB agent] supported the unemployment policies of high taxes we see today, oh and he died a millionaire.

[optionsupdate]

@warriorprince1010 who did churchil side with in the world war 2? with communist russia

[warriorprince1010]

@optionsupdate Oh boy. Russia sided with Germany until they were attacked, you fool.

[letsbeone]

@warriorprince1010 Sided? No. Stood neutral. That is a neutrality pact, Stalin knew the cards were stacked the wrong way at that time.

[warriorprince1010]

@letsbeone Stalin helped Hitler invade Poland, he stood with Hitler as Hitler was first and foremost a socialist.

[letsbeone]

@warriorprince1010 Your level of understanding of both history and the definition of words leaves me no reason whatsoever to invest in this discussion.

[warriorprince1010]

@letsbeone I understand all too well that is why you feel uncomfortable. Socialism, fascism, communism, feudal systems are centralizing power and greed for the governing few. The EU politicians wages go up by 35% while people across Europe get sacked and pay freezes.

[warriorprince1010]

@MjoEm32 Fake anger from a communist getting money from the KGB to help bring down freedom. A pathetic hypocrite and a monster, just like his friend unemployment Brown.

[warriorprince1010]

@MjoEm32 Yes his anger like all left wing loon is fake. He cause unemployment with his high taxes and died a millionaire. foot cared for himself and his pay masters int he Soviet Union.

[Damoskinos]

Fantastic

[MrDeucelow]

Brilliant.

[Labour42010]

Michael Foot was one of the best speakers of his generation. Very Funny.

[NathanPBridle]

Brilliant, thank you for putting this on.
