You’ll have seen Kay Burley’s daft interview of Tory activist, Harry Beckhough, in which she appears to suggest that Stafford Cripps was an army regiment.
David Cameron had this to say about him, during his conference speech:
“Harry joined our party in 1929 to fight Stafford Cripps.
Since then, across 81 years and 21 elections, Harry has been with us. When Churchill warned of an iron curtain, Harry was with us. When this country had never had it so good, Harry was with us. When a lady refused to turn, Harry was with us.
This year, when we fought the general election, Harry – aged 96 – was there, manning the loudhailer on the battle bus.”
Tom Watson MP has done a little more digging on Harry Beckhough himself.
It turns out that he is a loony.
He’s obsessed with the Illuminati, of course:
He goes on at 18:05 to claim that Edward Heath, a former leader and Prime Minister of his own party was a German spy and returns to him again at 54:15 to claim he was blackmailed into being an agent by the Illuminati because of his sexuality.
At 27:10 He claims the Rothchilds family took over the running of the Illuminati.
At 35:15 He claims American Presidents since Roosevelt are in an orgainsation called the CFFR and are traitors to their country.
Priceless!
