I looked at YouTube’s I am a Canadian, and then I am a Muslim! (not as good as it could have been) and of course the wonderful I am not a Canadian.
Then I searched for I am an Englishman and got this:
It is a speech from some movie protesting about British immigration policy. It is nicely said, without regard to the politics.
Any idea what movie it is from? What is the context?
Well it’s surely to your credit…
The EDL in the Youtube video title is a reference to
The English Defence League
I recognise the actor (Marc Warren) but i can’t precisely place the cliip though I suspect that it might be from a performance of a Steven Berkoff play.
but I could be totally wrong on the second point, the first is correct.
And he himself has said it…
(I feel as though I am being talked about unfavorably, and yet I do not catch the reference. I better not say anything.)
In spite of all temptations
Nicely said? It’s unoriginal, trite, and repetitive, and that’s without referring to the fact that the politics expressed and the quotations from Enoch Powell made me feel so physically sick (living as I do in Bermondsey) that I had to switch it off. Wish you hadn’t posted that.
I can enjoy rhetoric I disagree with without hyperventilating, and I thought it was pretty well done. Ironically, though, several parts seemed lifted from standard-issue anticolonialism or Marxist agitation.
I am amazed I have stumped everyone. Does anyone even know who the actor is? We can work backward from that.
Oh, that’s Marc Warren, but I don’t see anything on his imdb page that looks like the source of the clip.
According to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWHPJ8hO-ZM it’s from an episode of NCS Manhunt
JEEZ! - I already told you that . Do you actually read your own threads?
(mumble mumble apparently not, mumble mumble.)
(my apologizes, mumble.)
I’m skeptical that a tribute to the views of Enoch Powell could be considered without respect to its politics.
How remarkably wrong you are.
