I used to live in Ponders End, so I was surprised to see it in this video. My ex-husband used to work there, making light bulbs until the company moved to Europe
It probably shouldn’t surprise me that Tony was a commje back in the 60s, but it’s kind of sad that he was protesting the Vietnam War while we were losing so many men trying to help people who needed our help and because of people protesting like him we up and left those people to their fate.
My great grandfather Fred Schmidtke was a Rat of Torbruk the 8th division. The first group to leave Australian soil and the last to come home. He and 1 other brother returned home the rest of his brothers died in battle. He would only say "If you glorify war, you either didn't see many battles or you're mentally ill." One story he would talk about was they wanted hot baked beans so tied the bean tin to string and as the jeep drove alone the exhaust pipe heated the tin. They heard a loud explosion. Jumped out of the jeep for cover as it continued to drive. Wheb they worked out the can exploded the walked for hours trying to find the jeep up turned and out of fuel.
The Japanese bombed Darwin - I think more than once - and there is a cemetery in Adelaide River (NT) where some of the dead are buried. When I went there, I was truly shocked by how many graves there were. They also came down as far as Broome in Western Australia and there was at least one Japanese submarine in Sydney Harbour. All this happened while Australians were off fighting Churchills war (all for good old mother England - right :( I really, really truly hate Churchill (and the Australian politicians of the day).
My late Mum detested Churchill... She said he wouldn't die til he looked into the eyes if every Serviceman who died during the wars who he sent to die for his cause, plus for Gallipoli. (She wasn't Australian, her Dad was Irish, and so despite being born in Scotland - because Grandad joined the Black Watch rather than fight along side any English soldiers - she lived in England her whole life once she got past her earliest years, but she loved Australians and had cousins in Adelaide. (& a paternal Uncle in Ottawa, Canada). My stepdad refused to emigrate to Australia when we could've become 'ten pound poms' and Mum never forgive him for that...

I did not see 1 but i pay for RU-vid premium so i dont have to endure them . They have to make their money somehow and if its not from paid membership, its from advertising.. Thsts life hun , you dont get premium service with anything in life and to whine about the fact you dont pay for a premium service sounds a little like a privileged brat that thinks they deserve everything for free . So who are going to pay the content producers for their contents and hours of filming and editing? Obviously not you! Your getting this for free, as in a mononrty sence and the only cost to you is, you have to endure the other methods RU-vidr makes money and thats advertising and sponcers. People do this as their full time job and you want random strangers to make content add free or sponcer free just so the tightasses out their dont get their nickers in a bunch . You dont pay premium, you wont get premium, your lucky to get anything because nothing in life thats free dosent come with a catch. Obviously if your still expecting things for free but still expect a premium service.😂 You going to be very disapointed with everything in life because the privlage and entitlement runs strong with this one Life doesn't work that way, bud... get with the program or be forever frustated that no one G'sAF if you get youtube adds... You have faild to pay for a sevice and you have no one else to blame but yourself ! BLAHHHHH.
@@Ric-is-here oh the privlage runs strong with this one.. lol Probably wants a room at the Hilton at a caravan park price too. Blahh. Bet he is a boomer
Why did Tony Robinson say "for England", while holding up the Union Flag which is a British flag, the English flag is a red cross on a white background??????
Because England has used the union jack as it primary flag of representation for them and their colonies and assimilated countries. Google it, its throughout history
Many natives accepted gifts and developed good relationships with colonisers, why do you think some African tribes were involved in the hunting of blacks for slavery. Realistically all the British would have needed to do was gain consent from any native Im sure one was willing in return for a gift or two
Watch the rest of the series where they make it a point to show the pm apologizing to the native Australian's for the past, dont just bitch to bitch or shitstir
What the guy above me said😂. If you dont care about history or the world around you and how it came to be then the past will repeat itself and you are the problem
@tom.m no, we just dislike commie labour and the destruction that follows where ever it goes. Just because he's an actor doesn't necessarily dictate he's political leanings.
