Such a shame it offends your delicate sensitivities Brian to see a man condemned for blatantly betraying his country. I'm trying to see a reason behind it and l am concluding there may have been some romantic interest there.
I've always rather liked Brian Sewell, but perhaps he should reflect on the effect his hero's actions had on the many British agents who were executed as a result of his oh-so-clear conscience - and on their families.
This really is nonsense that rattles around the place. Blunt passed on Bletchley Park material including the German order of battle at Kursk, but there's never been any evidence that he passed on anything relating to British agents' identities, neither would he have handled such material. Philby is a different matter...
@@tadghosullivan Not Blunt but Don McClean passed the information on from Bletchley to the Russians , regarding the position of the German tank divisions.
@@tadghosullivanBut he did influence the fate of Central Europe by passing secret British documents concerning this region to the USSR before Yalta Conference. Because of that Soviets knew what to expect from the British and how to outmanouver them during the conference. This in large part caused the region to fall under Soviet influence and cost thousands of lives.
'Fighting for freedom' ... Have you fucking well ,A) heard yourself and B) every studied history and the deplorable part played in it by the UK???? Your obviously operating on your one collective family brain Cell!!!
James Smith & Sons, could be. They also did posh shooting sticks - that actually had a shotgun built in. No more, tho. But seems like the place for the type. They still sell Penang lawyers.
Brian sewell was in fact, as some Americans would discribe themselves, Irish. You get two Irish Queens for the price of one, if you add Oscar Wild to the mix. Most Irish are depicted in comic culture as having ginger (red) hair. In English common parlance, ginger beer is a term denoting 'a queer'. Gay leprechauns spring to mind. Pat on your back?
I don't think he was an aristocrat, exactly, was he? I mean, posh as you like, but not titled, or from the country estate set. Always worked for a living, after a fashion.
3:32"...your not acknowledging how much you own to Anthony..." Mr. Sewell :An example of one whose lived a long time & learned nothing! He's spouting the "White Man's Burden" rhetoric... same can be said for Govt upper echelons who wouldn't believe until too late Cambridge 'lads' would never be traitors..just not cricket...laughable & tragic.
Bizarre to view a man responsible for sending people to their deaths as hard done by.
Yeah but they weren’t British so that was OK.
He means '82 not '72. Blunt died in early '83.

The Cambridge five have been treated like, ''caesar's wife," by the academic toff set they were no more than, '' Two bit punks in three piece suits''.
Actually , there were 6 of them. Not much good ever did come out Cambridge - no wonder they’re referred to as they are.

I ike and admire Brian Sewell and he paid a price for what he did, but I still deplore his blindness to the larger issue.
Poor baby. He was too ill to receive any due punishment for betraying those fighting for freedom.

Traitor. How many loyal people did he condemn. And he tried to hide it all.
I'm reading guy burgess book and Anthony blunt was a c.nt im a poet 🎉..
Can anyone tell me the make of Brian`s umbrella ? .....I know it is from London .
Educated guess - but I'd say Brigg & Co.

Has Brian Sewell been dead for 10 years??
Is anyone in England not an old queen?
or a Soviet spy?
No, they all are

Yes. The Queen.

British aristocracy at its finest.
