brendan behan-fighting words part 1

[Alxalifate]

Let those rotten Tommies blab ORL' they want! Brendan Behan has a REAL place inn our Loifes!

[Alxalifate]

"Oh!" The Dock Eiria" Says chief Imperialist Dewhurst!!! DOWN WITH THE SNOTTY BASTARDS OF ENGLAND!

[Alxalifate]

Drunk and intoxicated with his class arrogance The Mister Dewhust is clearly referring to The Aristocratic Greed of The English and their "Ivory Tower of Pessimism self-glory and cynical egoism"and those Homosexuals sent an Agent "Gent" to get on The Bus where I live and "BLURT SHITE ABoUT TOAD IN THE HOLE" JEWESS(FROM THE NAME DEWHUST" all that so their faggots can hear an NEW Appendage to the Age old IRISH ANGlo War that scum like the British army like so they can Mince around Ulster-!DOGS!

[Alxalifate]

If as The British Imperialist indicates "colonel's are fools" does he exclude 'The Merciless English Peasants" in The British Army "?

[andymill32]

Fascinating stuff being Irish myself, where did you get such gold?

[Alxalifate]

"No,Brendan is right! The cultivated cynicism" of the English is (un) celebrated,it's disgustingly true,only the other day "Middle Class Homosexuals" were telling lies about a "Copter crash in NEW YORK!" A LIE"! By cynical men and it came out in his voice when the BBC LIAR was Lying about his "New York Colony and the lie of THAT BULLSHIT CRASH! All cos' the DULL FUCKER M16 dog saw a plane get shot down in the channel in WW2 film ,and believe me I know they lie! FREE CATHOLIC CANTONS IN ULSTER!

[HarveyGrass]

highways ???

[maddogmcglinchey]

@RichardElden And realistically IT WAS'NT the UN that created Israel,even in the first quater on the 20th century it was the British that let over 100'000 settlers onto Arab land.Am I wrong?Mate your clearly out of your league go read some books and come back to me when you have a valid point.Hard luck all the same. ;-)))

[maddogmcglinchey]

@RichardElden Haha RichardElden the little coward coming on my page with false statements then when he gets a response full of FACTS he cant deny he deletes my comments and blocks me,well you cant hide from me on here little boy.So I still ask,how did Ireland support Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during WW2?When did German U-boats refuel in Ireland?In what ports?In which year?

[maddogmcglinchey]

@RichardElden And one more thing.

250,000 Irishmen and Women fought for the allies in WW2,millions more of our decent in America aswell so go have an educated guess and consult and expert and get back to me .

[maddogmcglinchey]

@RichardElden So to say that Ireland was pro-Nazi is a completely flaud comment,not to mention that Eamonn De Valera sent the majority of Dublin and Dundalk fire brigade to quench the flames in Belfast.

Dont forget this .

[maddogmcglinchey]

@RichardElden

That is the most ridiculas thing ive ever heard.Palestine was under a British mandate and when they withdrew they partitioned the country and allowed the formation of Israel.How did the United States create Israel?

There is no country called southern ireland,seeing as the most northern part of the country lies in the Republic,every single Allied Pilot that was shot down over Ireland during WW2 was returned while Lufttwaffe Pilots were interned.

[leebouldog]

I like toad in the hole.

[mrjimirish1]

A great example of British imperialist arrogance...beaverbrook taken down by Behan

[MrPhilroo123]

to get brendan, shit, sober, he'd cane these fools. Read his books. Plus he'd twat these lads in a fight. He done his bird.

[neilthefish]

Thanks a million for uploading! Great to see this Gem from the Sixties.

[sainglain]

the yank is right.

[sarahlarry17]

thanks for uploading behan is my hero

[ThomasRowsell]

1 yank, 1 mick, 1 african to complain about the evil of imperialism and 1 englishman to speak sense

[yam500]

@ThomasRowsell you mean one dumb limey?

[MuesliBushtip]

Nice to see people in tribal dress smoking fags on telly.

[oiso94]

Imperial countries left former countries of there empire in a mess bottom line ...... They didn't care for the people they just cared for themselves and were in it for the money ..... England along with all the other imperialistic countries were selfish and greedy and some still are

[pedrofcuk]

"They eat horrible food!" LOL

[mrsinn]

I like sausages

[Malachy69]

This is amazing! Thanks for the upload!

[Devmeister91]

who are the other two panellists - i.e. the irate guy on the left of Brendan and the smugly bemused gentleman on the far right next to the African fellow?

[Malachy69]

@Devmeister91 I have no idea! But the phraseology of that question deserves congratulations! :D

[crc778Hypnodoc]

I've just finished reading Blessed Brendan's life story. He was without doubt the most qualified Irish man in history, Life long love affair with Alcohol, escapades with the IRA, gifted writer, racounteur extraordinary, jouvneile delinquent, political prisoner, author, playwright, song writer and singer, I only hope I survive long enough to be half as good an Irish man

[yam500]

@crc778Hypnodoc are you going to drink yourself to death as well?

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@yam500 Can you suggest a better way to go? ;)

[yam500]

@crc778Hypnodoc can't argue with that really...

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@yam500 Good man, BUt Behan would have, he used to sargue for fun. There's a big b&w framed picture of him in a tiny bar in my home town. Of him seated in that bar, pint of Guiness in hand. Underneath is a hand written note saying "I've just arrived in Canada, there was a big sign saying 'drink Canada Dry' I'm doing my best"

[yam500]

@crc778Hypnodoc He was witty no doubt but sadly he was happy to live up to the stereo-type of the Irish & he believed in the hype about him. In the end even his freinds thought him a buffoon.

[smeejit]

Beaverbrook had a great deal of say in what info people on the big island of Gt Britain could have............people in Gt Britain still say 'Southern Ireland'! =:oO

[maddogmcglinchey]

Least we forget it was England who partitioned Ireland which set up over 30years of sectarianism on my island,it was the English who allowed Jewish settlers "confiscate " palestinian land in which a war still rages,and more so,wasnt it Neville Chamberlain who had the motion of appesment to Hitler,who said "peace in our time" as he signed away Checkoslovakia to Germany?As an Irishman,its great to have a long term memory even if our nearest neigbhours on the other island dont .

[davidoffon]

@maddogmcglinchey The reason for their forgetfulness is so they can cleanse it, the mind, so to repeat history's lesson to us.

[maddogmcglinchey]

[xyzllii]

Oh my...on and on it goes....talk talk talk...I learned nothing...not even from my Hero Brendan Behan...

[funnynamehere100]

says English men who had the choice to give "independence" to a country they took it away from, every race descends from Africa... how dose any country have the say go give and take independence i live in northern Ireland and not once did i swear allegiance to the queen yet i am governored... still is norther Ireland not due independence???? are we under developed???

[MsJony1234]

Ha the guy smoking on tv - Behan telling it as it is, the conservative being a gentleman, cool day's!!

[davidoffon]

There would be no civilisation to be had

Until the Hingelanders leave and

The bolt will be shot as they do.

[flumoxed38]

Extremely interesting. The African fellow is far more rational than any of the rest. Behan is too charged with emotion, The English geezer is paternalistic & patronising, (though he has a point about the Romans leaving Britain improved). The American is a bit of a dope, criticising t'others for discussing irrelevant stuff, then wasting time by repeating the question. It would be nice to see controversial stuff like this discussed on T.V. today. Capiitalism's take-over of the world for example.

[Snedger]

The "annoying English guy" was as entitled to his opinion as Behan was to his. He may have well regarded in the US - as IRA murderers were until 9/11 - but in England he was just drunken braggart, full of his own importance and with an over-inflated view of his talents and America was welcome to him. To try to dominate a debate by threatening the others taking part? Behan was an embarassment to real Irishmen - as opposed the phoney American versions - whenever he opened his mouth.

[berryjewell]

@Snedger :

I quote from The Lament for Brendan Behan:

"...gone went our great captain to some more hospitable inn where cant and hypocrisy can no longer embarrass him".

For me, this says it all.

[bright4951]

@Snedger

Given that Brendan's funeral procession through Dublin drew the biggest crowds that had ever been seen, to suggest that Behan was 'an embarrassment to real Irishmen' is utter horseshit.

[FreePress1000]

@Snedger  Rubbish!

[yam500]

@Snedger spot on

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@Snedger read more about Behan, English TV regarded him as much more than a drunk (which he admitted to being) They offered him huge money for those days to appar on chat shows which were the talk of the day. He was a very accomplishd playright, author, songwriter and humourist. He was everry bit as talented as Dylan Thomas who held him in great regard.Being an alcoholic certainly did not make him the eejit you would suggest. I and every other Irishman I know never regard him as embarassingt,

[yam500]

@crc778Hypnodoc Watch the english guy at 4.47 wink at the producer after winding Behan up. Behan fell for it everytime. He was only on the show for comedic value.

[paulmacmanusa]

@yam500 ah the old two eyed wink,also known as a blink

[GlAsSaRm]

what was chris eubank doing there always liked brendan just a likeable man, wrote some very cutting funny poems, check out [ lord gough goes up in he park] agreed eire an insult its IRELAND 32 COUNTIES

[larrybyrne1]

Love the guy, but he was not on his sharpest on this one...He can be much more quicker and cutting!!

Good stuff all the same.

[davidoffon]

@larrybyrne1 Drink or the after effects.

[bodengirl]

good man brendan

[harsishava]

This is really interesting! Post the rest of this programme.

[TOMMYd0888]

I love Brendan, I think the other guys at the table started to watch their mouths so they wouldn't upset Brendan.

[thaxdouglas]

zzzzzzz

[tectonic24]

why bother typing 'brendan behan' into the search bar and then going through the process of watching the video only to make a ridiculously cuntish comment like 'zzzzzzz'?

[GordonMorrice]

@tectonic24 The cunt's epitaph will no doubt be "Zzzzzzzzz..."

[DEADHEROS81]

Up the republic!

[robertemmet04]

ALL 32 COUNTIES OF IT. TAL

[SirGallagher]

to young to die, but too drunken to live !! RIP

[hAodha]

That English guy was obnoxious.

And Brendan Behan was obvioulsy not on form, otherwise he would have torn the English guy to peices, instead of just rambling on in the way that he did.

[Doniedaff]

I thought he did great.

[ste43]

he was obviously a bit locked. Pity, cuz I think most people would have no problem tearing his arguments to pieces. This ''Southern Ireland'' thing pisses me off as well.

[FreePress1000]

@hAodha The English bloke makes an idiot of himself just by opening his mouth. Behan is intelligent despite being over the alcahol limit.

[hAodha]

@FreePress1000 You're not far wrong there FreePress. The English bloke comes across as a condesending aul colonialist who mourns the passing of the Brit Empire. Are there people like him still around? (I'm afraid to answer my own question!!)

[LedZepLive]

It's obvious now that the quote was spot on. Africa is in shambles.

The only way to save it is to recolonize it.

And that is a sentiment I have heard with my own ears from AFRICANS.

But thanks to Compulsive Attention Seekers and Sentimentality Addicts like Bono and his misled Fans and the fawning MSM you could never say this today.

The result? More of the same. A Giant Squalor-Spiral with no end in sight. The man is right and as usual the Left can't take it. They're alergic to Reality.

[banjodano]

thanks for commenting

[skage333]

grate vid man love behan

[reddwarfski]

Check out economic hitmen. Good piece in the vid. Zeitgeist addendum.

[TheStevenBaldwin]

reality = africa raped through colonization, and then abandoned. how is returning to colonization the answer?

The wording is priceless... 'the gift of independence'!!! Only imperialists would unflinchingly think this way. how patronizing, how arrogant and ultimatley ignorant

[IrishFella87]

@LedZepLive

Do you actually believe what you wrote in that statement? If so, you're a truly ignorant individual.

[nicodagger]

@LedZepLive Damn right! The Africans were much better off when ruled by the more civilised Europeans..,look what their own leaders have done to them!! They just don't have the capacity for self-goverment. Bring back colonialism.

[mogbasterd]

@LedZepLive No man should rule another man,thats a disgusting thought.

[theshininggenji]

That English guy is a smug prick.  I hope he is dead now.

[preacain]

3:03 Southern Irland 4:00 generous empire ha ha! 6:30 Question

[banjodano]

thanks for the comments Preacain

[rabbitshirt]

Ola Tunji the drummer gets great credit for music genius. To see him and Behan together is a treat.

[banjodano]

Thanks for the comment

[NoRosesForMe]

I wonder if these people knew just how blessed they were to sit in the presence of a genius? Doubt it.

Behan was amazing. Dont take this for granted people.

[peacefrog1916]

every nation has the right to self determination, Saor Alba!!

[banjodano]

thanks for the comment

[benthejrporter]

Behan rightly takes that annoying English guy to task, but what is "independence" exactly? I've been to Dublin and as I walked down its streets and looked at the shop fronts I saw MacDonallds, C&A, etc. All corporate logoes you'd see anywhere. Also many Taoiseachs have been in the Bilderberg Group. Signs of the Illuminati abound in Ireland. Ireland even has the Euro! So where's the independence? These so-called "independence" movements, that people have fought and died for, are a sick scam!

[arareflux]

Lord Beaverbrook was a Reptiallian Bloodline.

[anutarasamyat]

African had been invaded by Europe in the 9th century and they found a staggering array of wonderful, advanced Matriarchal civilizations. To which they set about destroying and returning them to the stone age. Then in the middle ages they went back and said to the world...'Look at these savages, they don't have the brains to build a society, so we'll just take a few million slaves and ummmm, oh yes enslave the rest of Africa while we're at it. They did the same here.

[arareflux]

Please do not be confusing all European nations with the sadistic inhuman bloodlines of certain royal families.

[preacain]

Ireland had more in common with Africa than England

[preacain]

go on ya good thing Brendan tellin it like it is!

[berryjewell]

I think they sat the gent in the hat next to the imperialist snobbish twa*, as he was the only one they felt would be calm enough so as not to hit the monarchy worshipping fool. Great footage, thanks much for posting! :-)

[classican]

Great old footage Dan!!!
