2008 was our generation's 1929.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
You have a situation where the left failed and the liberal establishment failed.
That led to the fascists rising up through the woodwork.
You do this if you want to destroy a continent.
This is what we did.
This was the crime against Europe.
Well, let me first put it in context, right?
Okay.
Ten years ago, we had booked one of the most wonderful theatres in Berlin, the Volksbühne Theatre, where we inaugurated DiEM25, our movement, Democracy in Europe movement, together with people who were there last night, like Brian Eno and quite a few others.
And last night, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of that movement, that failed movement, but very, you know, I think still significant movement, at the Troxie Theatre.
in the East End of London.
And, you know, we have 2,000 people.
But I suspect what you want me to talk, to worry about is the fact that I've managed, we've managed, Team 25, to put on stage together Zach Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn.
Well, that was the last kind of compliment I would have expected.
Look, Jeremy is a great friend.
He's been a friend for many, many years.
So we did lots of things together.
which I'm very proud of, including protesting against Saddam Hussein when Saddam Hussein was the blue-eyed boy of the West, protesting against Vladimir Putin when Vladimir Putin was highly liked by the British establishment, by the United States, and so on.
