great and UST his ancestor oh get a move

on Jenna overtake

overtake remember when Randol and I went

off to see the

battlefield of course I dreamt about it

last night I could say

everything Enemy being routed Europe

saved from those ravaging

hordes there was malra

riding into

hist her eyes

met I think I think he smiled at me you

shouldn't have had so much cheese

Stilton always gives you

nightmares Mr Speaker the loss of India

would Mark and consumate the downfall of

the British Empire if we cannot do our

duty in India we should have shown

ourselves

unworthy to reserve the vast Empire

which still centers upon this small

island is

alarming and also nauseating to see Mr

Gand seditious middle Temple lawyer now

posing as a fake out of a type well

known in the East striding half naked up

the steps of the Vice Regal Palace to

Pary on equal terms with representative

of the king

Emperor Hendon council's private members

Bill second reading

not sound

very

thank what a monstrous

speech you're his friend Bracken you

should tell Winston to stop making such

a fool of himself it's pathetic Britain

is losing her her grip on its Imperial

Affairs he's trying to stop the rock

rubish Winston's a self- serving

opportunist that's why nobody trusts him

no sense of loyalty thanks Tom does this

party count for nothing is it disloyal

to defend something One Believes In

passionately he's attacking government

policy which means he's attacking his

own damn party it's about time he towed

the line and stop being such a bloody

nuisance wrong hat

Tom Mr Woods this is

appalling you must remember that your

husband lost a very substantial sum as a

result of the Wall Street Crash a

bankrupt not exactly but I have made it

clear to your husband that economies are

necessary what did he

say he promised to cut down to three

bottles of champagne in the

evening there was a time

and people used to rush into the chamber

to hear me

speak it's Winston they cry Winston on

his

feet now they hurry

away as if to avoid an an embarrassing

accident finished Brendon

nonsense

G witnessing my own demise

a month John it's common courtesy thank

you is meant to be droing Diana just

Desmond have you met my husband a

briefly at the wedding good to see you

up to you cats look down on you pigs

our air atache in

Berlin he says the Nazis have in

training over 8000 pilots and as if

Hitler is creating an Air Force I would

say so yes with the prime minister that

would not but Albert's Desmond England

is lost in a pacifist

dream people prefer that to the

nightmare of

War fashion D and the S are all too

close for comfort yeah people are

dreaming it means they're asleep time

they bloody woke

up good enough but it wasn't at the time

it was

aced Mr Baldwin prime minister

Bea my government is very displeased by

a number of scarless and totally

unfounded attacks on the Third Reich

that seem to emanate from the office of

your Ambassador in Berlin so Robert yes

I'll I'll make the appropriate inquiries

well if it's true we shall take

immediate action I deplore any attempt

to create feelings of doubt and

suspition I am anxious to work closely

with Germany under the new order thank

you Mr Baldwin

Mr Wickam perhaps you will let me know

the results of these inquiries most

recent dispatch from our ambassador

reported that Nazi policy is intensely

anti-jewish is that scarless and totally

unfounded the Jews have become far too

prominent in many aspects of German life

their influence is disproportionate our

policies are merely adjusting the

balance is that why you built a

concentration camp outside Munich it's a

place of protective custody Mr wigam

and remember please it was the British

who invented the Concentration Camp

during the bore War I believe we are

merely following your good

example JY good what you said in there

nothing but bully boys these damn NES

well they get away with it that's the

trouble nobody does anything about it

that's right they don't very alarming it

is Desmond Morton ra wigram foreign

office Central department oh dear I'm

sorry have we met before I'm I'm

terrible at faces I'm afraid it's my

training Military Intelligence I have a

economies Winston what are you talking

about I'm worried about money I went to

see Mr Woods po Queens why he's my

accountant as well as yours Winston

could have told me we could have gone

together I wanted to see exactly how bad

things

are could be worse that's the answer

we've got the most enormous

overdraft we're paying it off no we're

not for God's sake clim I'm working day

and night all these articles of the

evening standard marbra not to mention

the constituency work I know that's why

we have to

economize like depriving me of my dundy

irresponsible now talk to

trick Zeke double

Zeke well score it double bizi 500

points I know how to score we'll do

it it's not just grandol it's this house

it's Chartwell that's where all the

money goes all right all right we'll

make 18 people here surely not it's

ruinously expensive we should never have

bought it don't start that again please

you went behind my back I did not you

knew I didn't like it and you

deliberately deceived me that's not true

I never saw such an ugly

house you may find the house ugly I do

not anyway that's beside the

point come with me what for I want to

show you something don't change the

subject I'm not come with me please

that's why I bought

it not because the house is beautiful

but because of

that what you can see from the house

England look at it

Clemy nowhere in the world could you

find a landscape more ravishing than

that it's our

to look at and to cherish for the rest

of our

lives I would die for it

CL oh Winston

J

great some rather unwelcome news I'm

afraid the cabinet has decided to sell

aircraft engines to the Germans I don't

believe it to be precise 118 Rolls-Royce

pv12 Merlins God Almighty designed for

civilian use I'm told but we both know

they can be used for fight this is total

Madness trade Should Have No Boundaries

say the chancellor the EXC if we don't

sell the Germans engine somebody else

will I suppose there's some sort of

logic in there what are we doing here

van

we make recommendations write briefing

notes nobody listens nobody in Downing

Street gives a d well they're not very

interested in uncomfortable things like

political

reality one more

chance surely the Germans aren't allowed

to re

try telling that to Mr Hitler well then

why doesn't the government do something

they don't want to provoke Another War

who does and they feel guilty about what

the Treaty of Vera was far too punitive

robbed the Germans of their self-esteem

he SED out ma'am I'm getting him ready

for bed thank you

eth should we go

up Mr Baldwin believes a strong Germany

will keep Russia in its place the

government regards the Communists as a

greater threat than the Nazis and are

they I think not narcism is more than

just a political movement it's a cult a

religion based on the idea of racial

Purity mankind the Nazis believe is

divided between the man gods and the

subhumans aliens who will be used as

beasts of Burden or merely disposed of

those with pure AR and blood the man

Gods the beasts are the

Jews you ready for bed you're ready for

bed

charie

dad oh jie my boy hello beautiful you

ready for bed yes you ready for

bed sweet dreams big

man good night

sweetheart good night

what part of Germany you from here Baron

Bavaria some 10 miles from Munich do you

know it I was there last year with my

family on holiday no researching for my

book on the Duke of marbra having a look

at the battlefields how very

exciting one has to visit the actual

places tread the terrain as it were we

nearly had tea with Hitler in Munich at

the ambassador's hotel the Regina Hotel

the ambassadors in Vienna please don't

interrupt me when I'm trying to

interrupt

you her trer have you ever seen ha

Hitler I've met him really uh when was

this quite recently I was having dinner

with France Hitler was a principal guest

what's he like my first

impression insignificance

utterly

insignificant a graay face slate gray

Melancholy jet black eyes like

grins a figure out of a ghost

story he took on and on

endlessly out of parcifal he said I

shall make a

religion his oily hair fell into his

face when he

ranted

then quite suddenly he left

he bowed to me like a waiter who has

just received a fair

tip when he

left nobody

moved nobody

spoke you all said in

silence rather like

this around

here after the Great War we were tell

that Germany would be a democracy with

parliamentary institutions all this has

been swept away what do you have

dictatorship the most Grim dictatorship

you have the the persecution of the Jews

you have militarism and appeals to every

form of fighting Spirit Baldwin W like

that he sincerely believes that Hitler

does not want war Baldwin not just

Baldwin many

others they wrong well you think so I

think so don't underestimate him Winston

they admire Hitler genuinely they won't

like it like lump

it

order order you have dictatorship it's

Grim dictatorship

EXC you have

the you have the persecution of the

Jews you have militarism and appeals to

every form of fighting Spirit Germany

wants PE we have steadily marched

backward since the Great

War we had

a greater rival is a sharper military

plans are more closely concerted and

because of our disarmament Britain is

weaker order

order the right honorable gentleman must

be heard the war mentality the war

mentality is springing up again

Britain's hour of weakness is Europe's

hour of danger

Mr pfer Mr Speaker although one is loath

to criticize anyone in the evening of

his days nothing can excuse the right

honorable member for eeping for having

permeated his entire speech with the

atmosphere that Germany is arming for

war Mr Speaker may I remind the right

honorable member that a poll conducted

by the League of Nations found that over

90% of the British people favor

International disarmament here here and

let us not forget

that a child born on the day the Great

War ended is now just old enough to die

in the Next Great War it is our duty Mr

Speaker to ensure that there is no next

Great War this country wants

peace Mr

Speaker people say oh Inon weren

mine he's used to being shouted at and

they wrong and her

deeply

especially from your own party the

tourist don't want to be made to think

what you saying it's right that's what

matters they don't listen that's what

matters like banging a head against a

brick

wall I can't go on forever those men of

my age are

retired do a bit of gardening enjoy your

spot golf enjoy few years of

quietude and die

all those dreams of standing shoulder

toosh shoulder with marbra and all the

other Heroes stupid nonsense if you give

up now then you'll never know give up

give up what and nothing that gave up

you're depressed black dog's barking

perhaps he's barking the truth

Wiston do you remember last year when

Ines fell ill it wasn't the flu it was

something more

serious why didn't you tell me cuz he

told me not

to the doctor said he should give up

work completely but he

refused Mr Churchill needs me he said

and it's not just inches it's Mrs P the

staff your constituency workers me we're

all the same you have the ability to

make people carry on no matter what

you're only trying to cheer me up well

don't Winston all these years I've put

out with the miseries of political life

because I believe in you and somehow I

survived but to have you here all the

time in retirement bad tempered getting

in everybody's

way that is something I just could not

survive you're getting pretty good at

this Winston 90 Brick an hour isn't that

right Harry nearer to 60 I should say

Sir oh very well very well between 60

and

90 and I become a a member of The

Amalgamated Union of building workers

fully PID up very

good uh this um material you're feeding

me about the German air force it's uh

too General faction figures that's what

I need not easy that stuff doesn't come

in my direction so how do I get hold of

it be honest I only you can top secret

eyes only go straight to the foreign

office I see what you can do I got

thrashed again in the house last week I

need a musle Desmond need to fight

back come

in ah ra I thought you left ages ago

well I've been reading this drink yes

it's a report from Berlin Hitler's

cabinet has approved a new law

it means in effect the compulsory

sterilization of all those suffering

from hereditary illnesses which are

deemed and I quote to affect the health

of the

nation bad racial Purity

this this is just the

beginning I I'm a word with the Prime

Minister much good that'll do he'll just

say it's German domestic policy and has

nothing to do with us which is

true in all honesty R there's very

little I can do if anything you on the

other hand may think

otherwise have you brought any of this

to the attention of the

government I've tried I've sent briefing

notes to Mr Baldwin and all members of

the cabinet have you had any reaction

nobody pays any

attention Hitler's War machine's getting

more powerful every day and the British

Public's being deliberately

misinformed at least is deliberately

kept in the

dark I've made a summary of the figures

issued by the government comparing our

military strength with that of

Germany on the next page are my own

figures which are much nearer the

truth Germany will soon be strong enough

to wage an aggressive War which is what

I believe they intend to

do your figures are very

precise much more so than the

information I

have presumably you have T to other

reports other statistics all of it is as

precise and detailed as this far more

detailed as I say this is only a summary

I don't see how I can help you well your

position I may be called director of the

industrial Intelligence Center but don't

be fooled I'm no more than a civil

servant I have no public voice which is

what you need yes it

is in that case I think you should talk

to Winston Winston

Churchill surely he's pass it I don't

trust him first he joins the Tory party

and then he switches to the Liberals and

now he's back with the Tories again he

has no judgment maybe he has an

extraordinary Instinct he knows when

something's important and should be

pursued he's wrong about India of course

he's been wrong about a lot of

things I believe he's right about

Germany I should be seeing him at the

weekend if you'd like me to take

anything down to Chartwell I should be

happy to do so

that would

mean you're

suggesting that I remove secret

documents from a government office and

show them to someone who has no right to

see

them it's a criminal

act but perhaps a necessary

bu marjerie yes Mr W uh an envelope I

need a a large envelope an envelope yes

do we have any large envelopes how L uh

just to take some papers just an

ordinary large size envelope oh if you

give the papers to me I'll post them for

you what's the address uh no no it's

nothing to do with work where where do

we keep the

envelope this big enough for

you it's fine

note in there from Winston he'd love to

have you come down for Sunday lunch

we'll be in touch good night good

night Mr

chel Mr Speaker before I am derided yet

again and before any further insults are

hurled at me in the uh evening of my

days it's midnight won let me give you

some facts and figures some food for

thought let me describe to you the

method of aircraft manufacturer in

Hitler's Germany sit down wisd we've

heard it all

before this you will not have heard I

can assure you of

that aanes airplanes destined for the

LOF Waffa are not manufactured in one

place throughout Germany a large number

of firms are making seemingly innocent

component parts which are then

dispatched to Great Central factories

where they are assembled very rapidly

into fighter and bomber

aircraft like a jigsaw puzzle or maano

game it's very clever very effective and

above all it conceals a true scale of

German

rearmament I am reliably informed that

the the working population of desau a

small town near leig

increased last year by 13

people and why was

that what is uh manufactured in Desa

that requires such such an enormous

influx of

workers ler

beer later

hosen

sausages

aircraft that is why I say we must act

decisively and we must act now to put

our defenses in order if we do not

history will cast its verdict with those

terrible chilling words too

late Mr Ferguson the right honorable

gentleman the member for eping

has Charlie would so love a dog oh I'm

sure we could find you one oh you go

I'm afraid our Garden's too small it's

the size of a postage stamp well we have

all strictly

confidential may I call you ra if it's

not too sudden please do the

superior to us in the

air at the present

time and it is my belief that by the end

of the

year there will possibly be three or

even four times our

strength know we to get all that

information Winston makes it his

business to be well informed don't like

it it could do immense damage to our

trade with Germany not to mention the

cost of reor I me where does he think

the money's coming from and what him

isolated tell the whips only a short

distance away there dwells a nation of

of nearly 70 Millions who are taught

from childhood to think of war and

Conquest as a glorious exercise comma

and uh death in battle as man's noblest

fate stuff Mr J oh I beg your pardon Mrs

B

to urge preparation of defense is not to

assert the imminence of War on the

contrary if war was imminent

preparations for defense would be too

late however calmly surveyed the danger

of an air attack on London must appear

most formidable oh I'm sorry Mr W that's

all right London is the greatest Target

in the world a kind of tremendous fat

valuable cow tied up to attract the need

to

a setback for him and should teach him

prudence and progress to the Indian

because of you and when I fail they say

luck as far as Winston is concerned he's

more valuable than ever Germany is his

new hobby horse he won't let go of it to

make him 10:30 yes yes I will not allow

him to interfere with government policy

nor indeed with the smooth running of

the Party Machine I'll do what I can

have a word with someone in his

constituency yes of course

a word about what exactly there must be

a large amount of local party members

who were dismayed not to say alarmed by

Winston's Behavior courage them to speak

up tell them to make him aware of their

displeasure see is ertic totally

unreliable

ra hello man enjoying it no very much

you oh

immensely Winston's been very active

recently active oh yeah endless speeches

all those newspaper articles evening

standard Daily Mail everywhere you look

created a lot of anxiety yes yes I'm

sure not surprising really no his um his

information is remarkably detailed

people starting to wonder where it comes

from of course A lot of it could come

from your

department yes yes it could I know hello

how are

you Winston started to make some real

impact slowly but surely attitudes are

changing it would be unfortunate if um

something were to go wrong wrong yes one

has to be very

careful no unnecessary risks if you know

what I

mean here we

Churchill he's been ringing all morning

irritating club that ever walk the earth

I was in the middle of a letter to my

wife and now I've completely lost my

train of thought idiots have you no

sensitivity whatsoever there's no need

to be insulting so I was merely passing

on a message shut up in how dare you uh

tell the the girl to put the call

through up here she's gone to Lun well

then you do it yourself I am not

acquainted with a mechanism oh God

Mighty bloody hell you're very rude to

me Ines you're very rude to me sir yes

but I'm a great

man you're a stupid old

bugger Mr Churchill's in

trouble what do you mean Mr Baldwin or

some someone high up is trying to get

him pushed out of what the conservative

party don't be Dar go they wouldn't do a

thing like that they don't like all his

speeches about Germany they want to shut

him up well can they do that Mrs P just

kick him out they could I suppose

yes organize a vote of no confidence

something like that they never get over

it I know I tell you this Mrs P if they

do kick him out I shall never vote Tori

again

never not even liberal bastard how dare

they bers this is absolutely the worst

thing of my whole blooded life I'm

surrounded by

enemies they call me a war Monger

because I speak the blunt truth baldman

is behind is sty bloody Baldwin no

better than an epileptic

corpse who is in charge of the

clattering Train the Axel Creak and the

coupling strain the PAC is hot and the

points are near and sleep has deadened

the driver's ear and the signals flash

through the nights in vain for death is

in charge of the clattering

train you'll be needing a glass of

champagne possibly

too Charlie mommy's nearly finish and

then I promise we'll go out to the

park there's someone to see you ma'am oh

who who uh Mr pettifer pettier to see

me we'll go in a minute

darling what are you reading

Charlie good afternoon

misser Mrs

wigram I'm afraid my husband's not home

it was you I came to see me please do

sit down thank

you I need your help in a rather

delicate and conf idential matter the

Prime Minister feels it would be

advantageous if your husband did not see

quite so much of Mr

Churchill what do you mean it's perhaps

not wise not good for him not wise for

who your

husband well then shouldn't you be

telling this to my husband I'm quite

sure he takes note of what you say what

my husband does is his own business I

wouldn't dream of trying to interfere no

no of course not but do remember your

husband is the head of an important part

part of the foreign office it's not a

good idea for him to tell Mr Churchill

what's going on why if indeed he has

been please Mrs wigram don't let argue

about this please Mr Peter don't treat

me like a

child if your husband persists in seeing

Winston he may find himself being posted

somewhere inconveniently

distant which would of course be

difficult with regard to your son

difficult for him to travel I mean

difficult also I should imagine to find

the appropriate medical assistance in

certain parts of the

world I dare say it would mean you're

having to stay

here you've made a foolish mistake Mr

pettifer oh a tactical error when a

member of the government comes to my

house and threatens me so openly it only

goes to show how extremely important it

is that my husband continue his

friendship with Mr Churchill that is my

opinion anyway

please give my regards to your

husband do tell him what I said I think

I prefer not

to good afternoon Mrs

wigram what do you want Mr Churchill I'm

looking for a letter what letter I

thought there might be something from

clamy not

today it's not easy to post letters in

that part of the

World perhaps

tomorrow does the uh does the name

Terence Phillip mean anything to you

Terence Phillip yes art dealer I think

anything

known good looking rather dashing plenty

of money his father was rich married no

no ly seems uh to be quite tummy with

him she keeps mentioning him oh he's on

the boat with her he

is I'm idiotically jealous oh Winston

I'm sure he's in love with him rubbish

he writes about him in every letter

Terence and I did this Terence and I did

that they got companions friends on

holiday together I know Clemy I can read

between the lines I know her thoughts

that be ridiculous she loves you Winston

very deeply I'm a rotten husband

nonsense I suppose he's the romantic

type you know all that sort of stuff

never got much of that for me would

never seemed important even when I was

young Daisy fellas she tried to seduce

me at the

Ritz wasn't interested used to think it

was because I I smoke too much tobacco

lovely thanks so much

why you all wet I thought I'd never see

you

again well here I

am Ines how are you

so you had a good time

wonderful I missed you very

much I missed you

too I'm not

sure that I believe that

you uh you seem to have seen a lot of Mr

Terrence Phillip yes you like him it's

good fun good fun it's very

interesting I hear his much in

demand all the hostesses in London want

him at their dinner table oh

yes I'm sure they

do you should ask him here for the

weekend

H did you fall in love with

him you made me like him

oh Mr

pug your new island looks

lovely at versil it was laid down and at

loano it was confirmed that Germany was

forbidden to take any armed forces into

the reinland zone and for 18 years the

fortresses of frankort corent and the

other Garrison cities on the rine have

been empty but gradually under dictator

Hitler Germany has been asserting her

independence of treaty obligations first

she left the League of Nations then she

set about rebuilding her Army Navy and

Air Force until today when her forces

play at war in mimic battle Germany is

seen again to be one of the great armed

powers of Europe

we're

powerless Hitler's preparing to tear the

world

apart and we can do nothing course we

can and we

shall I should never have shown you

those papers what do you mean you mean

well perhaps the prime minister's right

perhaps we should try to find a

compromise with her Hitler what don't be

ridiculous we know that's impossible

then perhaps perhaps we should let him

have his own way you got to say gray

what ridiculous nonsense is this gra

you're tired we should go home hundreds

of thousands of people will

die

millions and I should be responsible WIS

that's just not true partly responsible

then how would you be remotely

responsible by showing those papers to

Winston by stirring up public opinion by

making it impossible for the government

to reach a settlement with the Nazis

Hitler is Unstoppable in three years

he's made himself dictator of Germany

he's dumped the Treaty of Versa and

rebuilt the Armed Forces he'll March

into Austria and then czechslovakia and

then God knows what the whole of

Europe there may be a war I grant you

that

nevertheless we shall

win how can you say that it's just

Mindless

optimism when I was in school I had a

friend called Merlin

Evans and one day we were talking about

what we would do when we were grown

up and I don't know why I said this or

why I thought it but I said one day in

the future Britain will be in great

Danger and it will fall to me to save

London and the

Empire school boy

fantasy I want you to play for England

or climb

Everest my

destiny and I truly believe

it you're an extraordinary man Winston I

am I know it nobody but you could say

that sort of thing and expect people to

believe it Destiny is what I believe in

there the

commands we must

obey what a very jolly lunch I'm afraid

look out yourself take care of ra he

needs you so much I will thank you

Cy bye

all over

Europe it is the hush of suspense and in

Many Lands it is the hush of

fear during these last few years the

world has grown Gravely

darker we have steadily disarmed partly

with a sincere desire to give a lead to

other

countries and partly through the severe

Financial pressure of the

time but a change must now be

made we must not continue longer on a

course in which we alone are growing

weaker by ger is growing

stronger prime

minister oh hello Wy

I hear there's a nonsensical rumor that

you're about to

retire please state that that isn't the

case well I should be making an official

announcement in due course but please be

discreet I don't want everybody to know

I'm very surprised you're much loved in

the country s I've had my day I'm

exhausted know some days I'm so tired I

can hardly turn over the pages of a book

we've uh had our differences profound

differences but I've always admired your

great political

skills Winston let me tell you something

to my mind war is the greatest Folly

that can afflict mankind no absolutely

no question about it please don't

interrupt now maybe you're right about

Hitler perhaps this war is inevitable

but I believe that I am also right I

have done everything everything in my

power to preserve peace and I would do

exactly the same all over

again Bloodshed

sorrow irreparable

loss that's what I've been hoping to

prevent but as I say you may well be

right

so many telegrams today German troops

are on the March thousands of them hence

all the

telegrams Hitler's planning to invade

the world and we're planning to do

nothing about it what' you make of that

margerie oh well I'm perhaps we should

go home what do you think or we could

take a stroll at St James's part it's

remarkable weather we're having for this

time of year and well we're hardly much

use here are

we sorry sorry

marer it's a poor

joke thank you thank you for

these marjerie I going to ask what time

I'm afraid I absolutely forbid you to go

to work on a day like

today Bo turn out from White Hall I know

pretty bloody awful we had lunch with

him a few days ago and he was very upset

then I was quite frightened do you think

it

that

hello he said it was all pointless

everything he tried to

do was it pointless

his life was very precious to

me please tell me it wasn't wasted have

a my DEA you'll be very proud of him

people often act heroically because they

don't fully appreciate the dangers that

lie ahead Rafe saw those dangers and was

afraid of them but he did what he did in

spite of his

fear no man can be braver than

that thank you against

what is

it any invading

force would march across our little bit

of England run their way to

London I wonder how long we've got

this is London you will now hear a

statement by the Prime Minister the

right honorable Neville

Chamberlain I am speaking to you from

the cabinet room at 10 Downing

Street this morning the British

Ambassador in Berlin handed the German

government a final note stating that

unless we heard from them

by

11:00 that they were prepared at once to

withdraw their troops from Poland a

state of War would exist between

us I have to tell you now that no such

undertaking has been received and that

consequently this country is at war with

Germany

Mr chel Mr chel here Mrs B what's the

matter telephone sir the prime

minister's office

power good

war cabinet Mrs sergel and I must now

after neither retained here or found

good jobs elsewhere Mr Ines has all the

details there may be difficult and

painful times ahead but now that I'm in

charge of the Navy Mr Hitler and his

Nazi thugs had better look out we're

going to teach him a lesson they'll

never forget

days quite right however there is a very

good clar so you might be interested in
