I think it is disgusting how people can say that we have no responsibility with regard to the education of 3rd world children. Every child has the right to an education, for an education is not reserved for one racial group. The very fact that people have posted such vile comments disgusts me, but i see them as out and out BNP peeps. Duncan, that was a fantastic delivery, well paced, brilliant use of pauses, believeable and you took us on a journey with you! Tres Bien!

[video2please]

Yes, probably the disadvantage of posting these videos together.

Two different target audiences- Never the twain shall meet!

Sorry, Duncan- my fault.

A remarkable performance and a well earned victory. Well done Duncan.

LOL i went to school with that kid,

he was always such a twat |:|

[ellenmcr]

You don't even know who I am let alone know whether or not i can execute a speech well enough to be considered a 'national treasure'.

I said he was good but that doesn't defer from the fact that he's annoying.

Look you think he's amazing and have a strong desire to do him over, I think he's annoying.

end of story.

it was a pleasure to quarrel with you.

Wish they did this show again

[misguidedyouths]

I had to watch this in my English lesson today, and it really inspired me with my speech. :)

[xWardy]

cheesy speech lol

[TrevorGonzales1]

he came in to my school today

[JuneGadd]

@ChazzNoir ummm Duncan is one of my bestest friends and he is amazing. your the fucking twat

[ShahoftheShahs]

I have been wanting to watch this Show online, but have been hitherto unable to find it. If some one knows where I may watch it, then I should be thankful.

[MrTommoboy]

i go to his school and i heard him say summit pointless in one of our euchrists (assembly)

[normanjr4]

Also, Duncan you speak amazing, but you really did provide a plan. All he basically said is that we need education. Well duh, but what can we do about it?

[normanjr4]

@normanjr4 but you should not have the right to have education. Does that make any sense?

The problem with making education a right is that you 1. force the government to pay for the education. 2. education is then taken to lightly.

Government giving money to people is not good, because a government should not be an entitlement government

When things are free, people take it for granted.

These are two reasons why secondary education as a right is not good.

[normanjr4]

Okay, I compete in highschool forensics and I have to say that he did a pretty awesome job! Ethos, Pathos was all there. Script was like perfect.

The only problem is that i disagree with his stance that education is a right. He addressed it a little, but didn't talk about it enough. Yes, I totally agree with him and that we should educate the future because they will make Britain great and America free, but making education a right is not good. You should have the right to be educated
