- London.
A man presents Mr Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, Minister of Health, to a large gathering of National Federation of Building Trades Operatives - natural sound. The man thanks Mr Bevan for coming to address the gathering. Mr Bevan rises to speak - natural sound. He addresses the gathering as comrades. Something is wrong with his mike and there is a jump. Mr Bevan talks about housing policy, comparing the current situation with the appalling situation at the end of the last war. He accuses Tories for the 50 years of the negligence of the house building. He talks about production of modern houses in large numbers and attacks private enterprise. HE talks about the fighting black market builders, etc. Crowd applauds occasionally.
Natural sound only - jumpy and incomplete, only sections of the speech are heard.

Thank you Nye Bevan. Thank you Wales.
I was hit by a car in 2017 and within 10 minutes I was in a hospital bed free of charge.
My mother is alive and works because of the NHS.
My father, grandfather and grandmother didn't die in indignity or poverty because of this man's creation.
Thank You So Much Aneurin Bevan. Without you, generations of my family wouldn’t be alive now. We have an inherited kidney disease in our family and his values have kept us alive.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR ❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
My mum was born on 5th July 1948. Thank you Nye.
True today as it was then. Tory mismanagement, not enough houses and fighting privatisation. Respect to Nye Bevan. Truly a titan of his time.
I love Nye Bevan and this was an excellent speech. I never knew that he would have a habit of stopping talking, and then talking really fast in a high pitched voice. A truly fascinating man!
Urgh. Nazis. You.
😂
Right now we need THIS
RIP Aneurin "Nye" Bevan (November 15, 1897 - July 6, 1960), aged 62
You will be remembered as a legend.
Why do you call him Nye ?
@@hilo6755 That was his nickname.
@@jackspry9736 Thanks X
A good politician which is rare these days
Thank you based Aneurin Bevan.
He’s an excellent speaker and I love his accent
Thank You Nye Beaven ❤🏴❤️🏴❤️🏴🌹🌹🌹🌈🌈🌈👏👏👏🕊️🕊️🕊️
With modern out of touch Tories and their self serving peers running our country into the ground, this great man understood the working class ethic and always strived to give these people pride and place in society.
Great man
A hero
One of great statesmen in UK history; in my humble opinion greater than Churchill.
Say what you like good or bad, the boy had passion and vision. You don't get much of that these days.
❤️ Nye Bevan🌹 NHS 🌈 👏 🇬🇧
EXCELLENT & OUTSTANDING SPEECH . R.I.P. NYE BEVAN (1946). FROM, U.K. (2023).
How far we have fallen :-(
A legend
That Labour government was full of hugely charismatic figures. How Attlee managed to keep such a group of egos together is pretty miraculous. Today, across the political spectrum, our political landscape is populated by pygmies, with the odd exception of Nicola Sturgeon.
I notice that Bevan is speaking without notes, and there is something about oratory sprinkled with a Welsh accent that adds some magic.
Thin line between charisma and narcissism. Often imperceptibly thus.
Nye Bevan was a case in point.
‘Populated by pygmies’ - yes
with the exception of Sturgeon??
She’s the epitome of mediocrity and narcissism.
@@balham456 Your ID suggests South London, so you’re probably as clued up on Scottish politics as me, except that I know she a level of popularity way beyond her English counterparts.
To be honest, one notorious fact about Attlee's Labour government was how it was falling apart towards the end. Many members of the Senior Labour party were at each others throats including Nye. Attlee even had a massive falling out with Nye which led to many party revolts.
Nicola sturgeon is no better than a common criminal.
He’d be turning and spinning in his grave bless him. What a considerably nice parliamentarian. With a idealism for the working class and returning soldiers. Who were held at sea and disarmed fearing an uprising, as they were coming back to nothing. Working class built this country. People who’s trades meant something back then. None of the idleness Europe have created.
Real craftsmen not selling there fellow workers down the river. For price work. All working together to build a country for all of us to share from all backgrounds. Maybe this will happen again hopefully in my lifetime. Europe can watch and learn once again. And not idle a nation. As they clearly have done.
Bring him back
This is the first speech of his I've ever listened to. I chose to check it out following a debate on twitter with someone who said Bevan couldn't possibly have been responsible for saying "The NHS will last as long as there's folk with the faith left to fight for it" as he had a speech impediment and couldn't pronounce the letter F. I counted 9 words beginning with F in the first minute of this speech, all pronounced perfectly. I will accept that as an undocumented quote it may well have been paraphrased for inclusion in Trevor Griffiths "Food for Ravens", though I strongly believe he would have uttered words to this effect and the sentiment at least, remains intact. Yes, I am petty for checking this and writing it here but having provided *my* evidence in the debate, I challenged the Twitter-land Twit to provide *their* evidence for Griffiths having "personally informed" them that the quote is pure fiction. I was promptly blocked. So here I am, waiting for the bots to clock the quote and jump on this. I love learning and so am open to being proved wrong but I'm starting to get the feeling people just want to shut down a powerful sentiment for fear of what happens when folk with faith rise up and fight.
Those were the days. Look at the shower of corrupt and incompetent clowns we have now - contrast could not be greater
The start of the so called Nannie state, but in retrospect, it seems Nannie was right
Who's here after watching 'Nye' at the National Theatre?
Me 👍🏼
Great head of hair.
Regarding the sound. Do you have to use a noise gate? I would prefer the sound to be untouched regardless of static and what not. The artificial silence between words is really off putting and could end up cutting off some of the speakers words.
If you ever got one please let me know
If Nye was in the Labour Party today and said the things he says here, he’d be immediately disciplined and shown the door by Starmer’s little politburo, such is the state of Labour these days that they’re beholden to the few and not the many and losing touch with the public, who’ve been conned into thinking Labour will be an alternative to the Tories when their policy doesn’t reflect that at all. Only recently, have private donations to their party from private equity and capital investment firms outstripped donations from trade unions for the first time in the party’s history.
It’s not even worthy of the name Labour anymore.
Nye would have some very stern words to say about it too.
It dismays me to say it, but you're right.
GOAT
I ❤ Nye Beaven 🏴 he is The Greatest Democratic Socialist 🌹 in British 🇬🇧 History next to James Kier Hardie 🌹 the NHS 🌈👏 is the Greatest Socialist 🌹 Achievement in the UK 🇬🇧
Education for the masses rather than the privileged few, I would say is Labour's greatest success, though I will say The NHS is the most noble act ever to be passed by a British Parliament.
A true British hero
Churchill, Montgomery and Dowding have nothing on Nye Bevan
