British Army

I, I don't claim to know what things covert black ops type shenanigans MI6 and the rest of it are, are and always have been involved in around the world, and, you know, what trouble they're stoking, fomenting, and all of the rest of it out of sight and out of mind.

But in terms of a, of mass military, you know, as people like George Galloway routinely report, you could fit the British Army in a football stadium.

Yeah.

We don't have a navy.

Well, I might as well tell you how it all started.

My brother's an officer in the British Army, stationed in Egypt.

Early this year, he saved the life of a very important native personage in some uprising in Cairo and was rewarded with a magnificent ruby.

This jewel he sent to my Uncle Timothy and me, who are the last of the Henshaws, you see.

Just boys guarding troops of British veterans.

And when you joined the British Army, it was not for three or four years.

It was a lifetime commitment.

These are tough guys.

They never rose up and rioted.

Many of the British troops deserted, but not to become Americans.

They deserted to try to rejoin the British Army wherever it was operating.

Now it's time for the time warp.

They didn't want anything happening, choking on teeth in battle or whatever.

So classic British Army stuff, they'd knock your teeth out and give you a set of dentures instead.

So he put his dentures in his boot, yeah? And an air raid happens at like five in the morning.

So immediately they scramble, get to the gun.

Yeah, the Pritchard

band, but the Webley revolver was the British Army's revolver.

Well, yeah, so let me get to

that.

So I have to say, there is one ...

We didn't talk about this, but I have, there, there was one lad, and I'm sure Fergs will be smiling when he hears this, I think he's currently in the British Army or formerly of the British Army, but he's played for the British Army, that's for sure, and he was playing tighthead.

And put it this way, I'll show you in a minute for those of you on Spotify, I do love this phrase, you need to be looking at your screen because here he is lining up one James Pacer.

Oh, yes.

If you read his comments after the, the River War, after the Battle of Omdurman in 1898, um, w- in which he partic- participated, he goes around making observations and so on, and he, he gives the leaders, the m- the Muslim leaders, a, a, a lot of, you know, he, he heaps a lot of praise on them, their courage, in some cases their generosity, uh, in words which, which simply cannot be the words of a racist.

He blames Kitchener, who was the he- head of the, the British Army in, in, in Egypt at the time, and l- led the, uh, Battle of Omdurman.

He b- he blamed K- uh, Kitchener.

He, he criticized Kitchener for treating, uh, the, the buried body of the Mahdi, the, their religious leader who died soon after, uh, just before the Battle of Omdurman.

Now, if these people...

Now, they will either have to keep it as is, where the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the British Army defend all three regions.

They'd have to pay us, though.

England, Scotland, Wales.

I think it's power.

Yeah.

And also, also, is the fact that they would want Westminster or the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the British Army in general to go and put bases there, but they, oh, we don't want to pay for them.

Oh, no, he's got to come out because we're a united...
