Lenny: Gentlemen, there is a forgotten word. No. An almost forbidden word. A word means more to me than any other.
That word is "ENGLAND".
Men: yes.
Once, we flaunted it in the face of the world, like a banner. It was a word that stood for power. A word that stood for freedom. A word that stood for respect.
But today, we"re scarcely even allowed to speak the name of our country.
Gadge, are you honestly...
Well, I want to revive that word, a grand old word, the word "ENGLISMAN".
All: Yeah, yes!
Now we"ve been marginalised. We"ve been called "cranks". We"re not cranks. Some people say we"re racists. We"re not racists. We"re realists. Some people call us NAZIS. We"re not Nazis.
No. What we are? We are NATIONALISTS. And there"s a reason people try to pigeonhole us like this. And that is because of one word, gentlemen: FEAR
All: Yeah!
They fear us. They fear us because we are the true voice of the people of this country.
Cambo: Yes, Lenny!
People who work hard, pay their way, I don"t matter what their ethnic background is, I welcome with open arms in this country. It"s the people who think we owe them a living. These are the people that need to go back.
All: Yes, send them back!
Send the bastards back! Send them back! Send them back!
An English king on a battlefield once said, "From this day till the end of the world, only we in it shall be remembered, we few, we happy few, we band of brothers". Gentlemen, it is the time to stand up and be counted.
All: yes!
It is the time for action. Our country has been stolen from under our noses. Well, gentlemen, it"s time to take it back!
Yeah! Yes! Go on, Lenny! Go on, Lenny!
Are you ready to return to the fight?
Are you ready to shed blood?
All: Yes!
Are you ready to fight for this country with your last breath of life?
All: Yes! Lenny! Lenny! Lenny...
Gentlemen, join our band of brothers. Sign up today.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
