Andrew Neil's monologue at the beginning of 'This Week'

[Bry Nylon]

Well worth a watch if you missed it, when it becomes available online on BBC iPlayer or Youtube.

Powerful, poignant, defiant and dignified. Brilliantly written and perfectly delivered.

 

[Blackadder]

Agree 100% "Jumped Up Jihadi Johnny's..... We have stood up alone to the Luftwaffe".

"We have 1000's of Keith Palmers. The British People."

[luppers]

Brilliant,totally brilliant

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Wow! That says it all.

 

[sully]

He's right, you know. Spot on.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

'Pathetic Poundland Terrorist'

 

[Mr Bridger]

Can someone come up with a tune for that and then can we adopt it for our new national anthem.

 

[Biscuit]

Thanks for sharing, very powerful.

 

[rocker959]

Excellent .Well done Andrew .

 

[Bozza]

James O'Brien nailed it too. Not on YouTube from what I can see, so I can't embed it, sorry.

Well said Andrew. They may hurt us but they will never divide us.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Head and Shoulders above any politician. Class.

Anyone see the footage of May being escorted out of Westminster ? Some leader,Churchill must be turning in his grave.

What an odd thing to say. Her job is to lead, not fight hand to hand! That's the security services job and there will be a protocol that's followed, every country has one.

Pathetic

 

[blue'n'white]

Well said Andrew Neil - you absolutely nailed it

 

[jimhigham]

And the program ended powerfully too. Simon Cowell delivered a beautiful reading. I've just made a copy now because I thought it should be shared.

I am not asking her to actually fight (as well you know) but no doubt security would have been capable of safe guarding her. I was never the biggest fan of Thatcher,but IMHO the decision to continue the Tory conference the day after The Grand was not only correct, but the only one too take.

Parliament sat at usual yesterday, the day after the attack. Where's the difference?
