Eric Moxey: The war hero that history forgot?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- Eric Moxey fought on the first day of the Somme as an officer, flew Sopwith Camel in WW1, was at Dunkirk and then died defusing a bomb at RAF Biggin Hill.
He was awarded the George Cross posthumously but seems to be the war hero that history forgot.
This short film is in memory of all those involved in the Battle of Britain who showed just as much courage on the ground as those who flew above them in the air.
As an Ex-RAF veteran who voted for Brexit, thank you Nigel for being a politician who deserves my respect.
Thank you for your service
I am also an RAF veteran and fully agree with you. My father was also RAF during the war and was a bomber pilot and one of the lucky ones to survive. Thank you Nigel for bringing this forgotten hero and great man to our attention.
Thanks very much for your service
Ex army EOD so abandoned in many places by RAF helicopter pilots due to mild rain. Well said and thanks for being a Brexiteer, I knew deep down that not all crabs were muppets.👍
Wasp you truly come from great stock, your father gave his all for us, we must never forget. 👍
Whoever downvotes this, regardless of their opinion of Nigel, should be ashamed of themselves
Totally agree
People like that have no concept of shame. 😞 Nor of honor.
puressenceuk35 ..Unless of course your a modern Nazi , they are still about , and in Germany.
@@tomsmith5456 "Unless"? By definition, shouldn't they be the most deserving of shame?
DTRJr ..Oh yes , but they would still thumb it down..I hope you didn’t think I ment you , god forbid .
It’s actually really refreshing to hear someone talking about our history and being proud of it..

You need the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour!
What is true love!, How would you describe true love!.Let me tell you what is the greatest act of love, but first of all you need to take this important test: have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, lusted(Sexual desires for someone)or used God's name in vain. That is only some of God's commandments(law)not them all.If you have broken God's commandments you will be guilty on Judgement Day and you will end up in a lost Eternity that God calls Hell. We are all sinners(Romans3:23).Praise God that God's Word(Bible) says God loves us sinners so much(John3:16)that He offered a way for us not to go to Hell but for us to go to Heaven for Eternity. Imagine you have £1 million pound debt that you cannot repay but someone steps in and pays it for you. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us sinners on the cross. He paid our legal debt (sin) to God and rose from the dead defeating death. He paid for all your sins on the Cross of Calvary. No matter how guilty you are of your sins the Blood of Jesus Christ that He shed can cleanse you from all unrighteousness(sin). There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friend. But God showed His great love for us by sending the Lord Jesus Christ to die for us while we were still His enemies. To receive this free gift of Everlasting life in Heaven,we must Repent (turn from all sin) and Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone as our Saviour and Lord.
Ask the Lord for FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS!
God will hear you!
God will grant you Everlasting life in Heaven, Also God will place His Holy Spirit within you and make you a new creature in Christ(2 Corinthians 5:17). He will give you new desires to serve Him!
You will then be Born again of the Spirit of God!
God will also give you the desire to read His word (Bible) daily and obey it!
Only the Lord Jesus Christ can give you Everlasting life in Heaven!
I will be praying for you to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Personal Saviour and Lord!
I am telling you this as I want you to know the way to Everlasting life in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. I do not want you to go Hell.God wants you to go to Heaven and not to perish in Hell for Eternity!
God done this all for you!
God bless and have a nice day!
Long live the king
Yes Louis, we cant change history whether its good or bad.
@@matthewhamilton9743 jesus christ really......
We current;y have the 'BBC' refusing to play land of hope and glory and rule Britannia, we have students pulling down our statues, our 'Prime Minister' stands back in silence, we have the flying of our flag frowned upon and anyone who is proud of Britain dubbed 'racist' and 'far right' etc,. it is CLEAR what is happening and it is OBVIOUS it has come after the public voted BREXIT but just as Eric Moxey would of done, true Brits will fight on.
British fought to destroy Britain today. It can’t be denied now who was right.
I had two second cousins who were fighter pilots in WWII, they paid the ultimate price like so many others, none of those brave people should ever be forgotten, and the BBC who want to deny us our heritage and culture should go to hell. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hell is too good for them.
Absolutely right Isobar, a slow death over a spittle would be better.
British and proud🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 fantastic!!!!!
cooper s IM ENGLISH AND PROUD MY DAD WAS ENGLISH FOUGHT IN WW2. BRITISH ARE THE ONES PLOTTING AGAINST THE ENGLISH AND TRYING TO GET RID OF ENGLAND. SORRY MY DAD AND MOXEY FOUGHT FOR ENGLAND IT WAS THE HUB OF THE WAR!!!
Well done Nigel.
I prefer USA 🇺🇸 to U.K. tbh
@@adamturner6855 ok but I don't remember asking?
Louis Anderson I never said it to you I was just saying where are these things because it’s all part of the reason the allies one the war
Nigel has the right idea and the right image of British society.
I salute Eric Moxey, thank you for remembering him.
the most underrated man in uk
absolutely .
Thanks Nigel you would get my vote.
I wish I could understand why these lefty lot want to whitewash our history however bad some of it may be,but if you pull all the statues down and don't teach history at school then it never happened.
Thank you again we need more of this.
Most of these 'Lefties' are just ignorant, through accident or design. Most couldn't fight their way out of a fair-traded paper bag.
Few choose science in the sixth-form, for some reason. They they come into contact with left-leaning History or English teachers - you know the score. Probably do Journalism, or something of a small factual quotient, at university. Journalism university lecturers are nearly all hardened 'Lefties' and 'have form'. In May 1999 or so, a university lecturer - 36 year old Russell Griffiths from Swansea - at the University of Lincoln (no-one's heard of it, or wants to) drugged and raped one of his students, then pleading innocence at the trial in October 2000 - fancy a lecturer of journalism lying when on trial at court, whatever next? He was found not guilty. I bet he was a Journalism lecturer, I wouldn't be surprised. Leopards don't change their spots.
Definitely
Nigel Farage appeared on BBC question time 34 times . He was never sidelined.
Thanks Nigel, The mark of a True patriot.
A voice In the wildernes Hear, Hear.
We suffer the same here in Canada with the whitewashing of our history. The easiest way to learn is from the past, and those lessons are being carefully expunged and labelled as irrelevant. The new version of man is to do, not think; but there will always be leaks.
This is why we all love you Nigel 🇬🇧🇬🇧
We should never forget them! How can anyone give a thumbs down for this?
Jealousy and self-loathing.
Learning difficulties ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Mellyboy 58 - yes, they're incapable of learning about truth!
@@MELLYBOY58 Not stupid .... just willfully disrespectful. They have no clue as to the state of their(?) country during those times, and the sacrifices made. Although I have 20+ years in the military, even I could not possibly fully understand .... I was not there during that period of time. My respect goes out to all that were.
@@straubdavid9 100% sir ! ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
why are our kids not being taught things like this in school anymore
u know why,but the further they push the bigger the reaction.
guarantee that even the teachers of our children do not know our own history
They will know more about LGBTXI than British history
National pride doesn’t fit into the globalist agenda.
What do they get taught in history?. Please provide links to the data.
My kids were taught about WW1 at primary school, they get to learn about WW2 in secondary.
And this week Layla Moran says she’s ashamed of this country.
Anyone ashamed should not be an MP
And her opinion is worth what exactly?
@@wildcampingharry As much as that from a whoopie cushion.
My Dad worked at Biggin Hill when he left the RAF....RIP DADDY
Doubtless the BBC would like to erase this history. But Britain is still a Land of Hope and Glory to the people.
The BBC has done numerous programmes about British history and WW2
@Kitty Mason Could you reference those programmes you're describing please?
@jan huss There are some good English education sections on their website.
@Kitty Mason Hi, have you got a list of the programmes please?
@Kitty Mason you’re nuts hahaha they’ve done plenty and they’re informative enough for a casual viewer to swallow easily. How is it anti-British to you in anyway?
A remarkable generation, all of whom will soon be history. They should never be forgotten ✝️ God bless them
How this man is not our PRIME MINISTER is beyond me .
Perhaps we might be able to persuade him to stand at the next election. He will have my vote.
K W it’s very straight forward, it’s about getting votes which is has failed to achieve on six occasions.
Stephen Christian he’s tried six time’s and has lost to a dolphin in the past...
And somehow your vote is worth as much as mine!
Or ar least taken on board by Bojo and made immigration minister.
Excellent video, thank you for celebrating this special man and his contribution to our nation.
My Dad was Ground Crew at Biggin Hill, Debden and Woodbridge and Manston, as a radio technician, he had many scrapes when the airfield were bombed, very proud of him.
@S Davies Thank you
@S Davies Many thanks.
Nigel was even respectful walking to the side of Mr Moxey's grave. Class act Nigel and a more remarkable Eric Moxey, thank you!!!
Us British will never forget.
Take it all the way to they grave.
You're the man Nigel ✌👍👍✌
Nigel i take my hat off to you what a great story, well done sir.
"Lest We Forget" RIP all the brave men & women who served in the WW1 & WW2.
God Bless Mr Farage a True Gentleman and British Patriot !
Woman????? I suppose they were secretary's in the war cabinet but no frontliners
@@miscellaneous_man756 So what about the one Woman for e.g Violette Szabo who served in the SOE the forerunner to MI6 & died at the hands of the Gestapo in a concentration camp. There is a film about her called Carve Her Name With Pride. She was awarded a posthumous George Cross for her bravery for paying the ultimate price.
Lots of brave Women died in both Wars, they didn't all pick up a gun & fight in a trench!
( Oh! & It's Spelt Secretaries!!)
You need to know your War History before making very patronising comments, you Moron!!
@@miscellaneous_man756 lots and lots of women faught the nazis on the contentant ...........many died in the fight
Well done Nigel for showing this in a time when it simply isn't popular.
It is still popular. 'Elite' opinion doesn't like it
Great story Nigel,i'm a proud Brit i take my hat of to all who gave their lives to make the UK a better country but for how long if it carries on like this.
It's great. My great grandfather fought in both wars he was truly a great man too . He too would be ashamed of what this country has turned into . A pile of SH.T
My wife's nan was in the WAF and played a huge part in balloon strategy in defeating the Germans, a beautiful lady full of life who lived to 96, thank the Lord she's not alive to see what the MPs have done to this country.
What a sad tthing to have to say; but you are right.
Thanks to men like this, we became the ' Lucky Generation'. Total respect.
If only the rest of parliament was as proud of our nations history
The Torys are, but some the Labour mps are questionable
Let’s never forget these hero’s who fought for our freedom. Thank you Nigel for the great work you do.
I have great respect for Mr Farage, and his knowledge of military history is quite extensive. I’m pretty sure that none of this stuff will ever be taught in schools or in/at any kind of marxist educational establishment.
A very nicely produced video. Nice steady camera, nice clear images. Very very acceptable levels of audio. Well done everyone.
We did learn about the Battle of Britain during school (early 2000s). Not sure about now.
It was hardly being taught back in the 70's, never mind now.
@Zoned 247 there seems to be a political agenda to down play our military heroes i think this year's cenotaph and albert hall services will be very different and a signal of things to come there is no medical reason why poppies are not being sold and worn this year and its being ignored by all of the politicians broadcasters and media
Most history I’ve learned in school is about the Tudors, Elizabeth and broadly just England. Anyways it’s the responsibility of every person to learn history for himself to pull himself out of ignorance
Lots of history will be forgotten if certain people have their way
Which people?
@@mageofsin never heard of the BLM ?.
@@markmccormack1214 Yes, but, i thought they just wanted slavers taken down?
Feruun I bet you’ll find as time goes on BLMs objection to our history and historic figures grows more and more obscene, just as left wing politics grows more and more obscene, first they tear down statues of merchant ship men who did nothing but trade in the commodities of their day, then Winston Churchill, war memorials, ban our national songs, and finally demonise every part of our history that can’t be construed into some celebration of racial diversity, just watch any part of our history which we can take pride in as a people will eventually be vilified.
@@johnwright9454 Look i agree there is a limit on BLM, but, i also think that I'm maybe too far centre of this argument to discuss with you. Of the hundreds of statues in London I have never learned a thing from them (I work in CL),. If you want to learn there are better resources and they will be there forever, for your children and so on, no one can change that, you can pass on what matters, or what is important to you. I'm from a military family and i don't mind that the public image is changed, it doesn't mean in this day and age that people cant educate their family how they want them to be educated or apply their values, you can raise your children on the values that are important to you. Quite honestly, Id lose the odd slaver and maybe add a Marie Curie statue, or Steven Hawkins. I repsect you right to your opinion, and i would defend it.
I worked with a gentleman (for he truly was a gentleman) who fought in world war 2. His generation are being totally let down by the current governments of the free world who seem to be giving up all those young men fought so bravely to protect.
This generation is very selfish lawless and the government is corrupt it's all about the money for these people! Selling there soul's
Please do not try and provoke a political debate, are you trying to cause unrest? Nigel is giving us all important history information. Just respect our heroes, without any political point scoring.
@@JCLAS01 Government bashing! Very helpful. Listen to a man speaking about heroes, and learn something. STOP TRYING TO CAUSE DIVISION
@@lkr8720 I am not trying to point score politically. There have been governments of all kinds since the end of world war 2, and governments of all persuasions as I type, and they have almost all let down the brave (mostly) men who fought, and the many hundreds of thousands who died.
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne He's a toll looking for attention ignore them they go away!
Thank you Sir my grandfather was sunk 4 times as merchant seaman and my father-inlaw was a lancaster navigator both have many grandchildren thanks to them we will never forgot what they all gave us
There is something very special about the Spitfire and Hurricane. A true thing that makes you proud to be British. Rule Britannia. Well done Nigel
I agree, and all three of them with the Lancaster Bomber, I use to be proud to see them three fly over on remembrance day.
I'm über-proud of my British heritage. The reason America is as successful as she is is because of where most of us came from: Britain.
@@kathyleicester7306 they should return to Britain
"Moxy/Moxie" (noun): force of character, determination or nerve. Eric Moxey, a man who lived the definition of this word in more ways than one. An example for us all that is in such short supply in today's political environment. Thanks, Nigel.
True respect from a good man. thanks Nigel.
love him xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
My respect has fallen now that he is pushing the vaccination agenda.
Love this Nigel👍
But there’s always a but! Check out the chimney house hotel Sandbach,100 yards North of junction 17 on the M6. Stuffed full of young immigrant males under the guise of a 3 star hotel.This is not what my grandfather and myself fought for. HELP, but there is none.
James Chambers All the best to your son. 🏴🇬🇧
G G will do but I have a feeling it may raise my blood pressure.
Civil war in America by thanksgiving,whats your thoughts on this?
G G we stop fighting when we stop breathing! I’m lucky I have the armour of Christ and a love of my country and it’s people .💎
Fascinating history lesson Nigel. Thank you for taking the time to research and prepare this documentary.
Incredible, the George Cross is the equivalent of the V.C. for those not "in the presence of the enemy" and yet he is not even mentioned in the museum...!
Great piece Nigel, thank you for bringing this man's courageous story to us all.. Many thanks
Magnificent Moxey. Great video Nigel. Ty
Great job Nigel. Its refreshing to see people treat you with the respect you deserve for a change. I love walking my dog around my local cemetery and paying my respects to the fallen and many other interesting people. There is a lovely well kept (probably the best in the Cemetery) plot for the fallen Polish airmen who gave their lives for freedom. Also George Washington Williams (Afro-American historian) is buried there, and also Dick Barlow who played in the original Ashes cricket match. I find it a privilege to unearth and remember some fantastic people from our shared history. Keep up the good work Nigel.
Well Done Nigel in remembering war hero’s that sacrificed all for our freedom.These people should always be honered🙏❤️👍
It is so important now that the people of both our countries continue to remember our heroes and look to their stories as inspiration as we live our lives
Such a beautiful report, Nigel. Well done to you.
Much gratitude to the brave ground crew.
We shall remember them.
Marvellous! Britain’s rich history ought to be front and centre. Thanks for this.
Good stuff, Nigel, l'd never heard of Eric. Long may he be remembered.
Eric Moxey what a LEGEND.
Nigel, thank you for this fascinating tribute to Mr. Moxey. I'm an author in California, and (by coincidence!) chose Biggin Hill as location for the novel I'm writing, having to do with the ground forces there, both male and female. This story has given me another dimension to it that I think must be included. All the best with your campaign to get Eric Moxey the full recognition he deserves. And thank you for all you do.
Very interesting documentary, with someone that isn’t reading of a teleprompter (doesn’t need one) also made at the fraction of the cost the BBC
You wouldn’t see a documentary like this on the BBC now about patriotism when they now consider, with their censorship of the lyrics to Rule Britannia, racist. Shame on them.
Thank you Nigel, for caring about our history enough to raise awareness of another forgotten hero!
We should all remember these heroic men shaped our destiny.
Many gave their lives to ensure our future!
I'm surprised Biggin Hill museum didn't know him!😯
It seems so many people today want to erase our history and pretend it never happened, this concerns me immensely!
Lest we forget 🇬🇧
Well reported Nigel and good to hear these people being remembered.
Loved it Nigel..... I’m just a baby at 40 (or I keep telling myself ) and I love to see these guys and gals being appreciated, so good to see, it’s a shame the BBC don’t have the same respect.... the BBC would rather show ungrateful degenerate idiots pulling down our statues.
Nigel you're a huge star 🌟 and this type of work is beautiful beyond words. We can never get enough of this, hearing, learning and honoring the true heroes who gave us a free World
Nigel Farage UNDERSTANDS WHY it is so so important to stand for our independence and our democracy, he understands what so many have forgotten and that's what it is to be British.
Why?
what a unsung hero , pity our government didn't have a 1/4% of the courage these brave men and women had we wouldn't be in the state were in
Excellent coverage of our heroes. Well done, Nigel. We need more of this and our schools should be doing similar projects.
This was an excellent film, told about a hero at the time of war, that still gave me a sense of peace. Excellently told.
The best prime minister we haven’t had yet 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is what we need. A real look into our history, the good and the bad, not just an open attack on one small part of it.
I know, but the crap makes headlines and sells stories. It always reminds me of the Monty python sketch 'what have the romans ever done for us' from the life of Brian.
would you like some reading material?

Thank you, Sir. It does me good to be reminded that we have plenty to be proud of. How tragic that such incredible courage was necessary.
Lest we forget Nigel, my father-in-law who served in the RAF still lives today aged 98 years of age this October! He was a rear gunner of the Lancaster crew who’s plane was shot down. Something these hero’s never talked about!!
David tell him thank you not only from me but also from all right thinking people in the UK and beyond
god bless him
This story certainly gives a great deal of food for thought especially in our current situation.
I am first generation German, my father fought in Norway, my mother manned searchlights in Hannover. That said, you have my utmost respect as do all the remaining veterans of WW2...My hat is off to you and your work in Europe, I wish that Germany would have someone of your stature.
BTW, my complements to your taylor, beautiful suits!!!
Brilliant stuff Nigel. Thank you for this reminder of our fallen heroes.
My Bampy was in the Welsh RAF in WW2. He was an Air Gunner. I’m so proud to be British I love learning all about our history.
Extremely worthwhile cause, he should be remembered, a forgotten Hero
I'll make my children watch this. Better than any text books...
Your poor kids 😢
While others seek to erase and rewrite history Nigel honors the past.
@S Davies yes I shall make my kids watch Nigel Farage videos I'm sure they'll enjoy 😃
You’re an idiot if you’re substituting this video in the place of books
@@Sea-qv4sd cheers Steve 🍻
This is a perfect reminder that the Europe that we enjoy today and that we take for granted, would not have been possible if not for the high human cost, sheer grit and the courage of those who once believed in something greater than their own pettiness. A great and timely review.
This is great, this is more like the story's i was told as a kid, from my dad ( Born 1928 ) about him and his dad.
Exactly what we need nigel, more more more please, let's remember ALL the people whom fought to keep Britain free for us God bless them all Amen.
These young men we’re true hero’s in the war. Could u imagine sending the modern day left winged snow flakes to war these days! 😂🤣
No
They've already been trained and deployed in the cultural war.
102 people clearly not proud of such an incredible and selfless man who paid the ultimate price for his country.
A fantastic video as always looking forward to your next instalments.
Spitfire history , English heroes, old trees, criquetfields, mention of the Dunkrik & bravery: these are the podcast we need to keep our culture alive.
Very interesting video Nigel.
It would be interesting to know if enough information is gathered about Moxey to feature in the museum.
Meanwhile, the BBC are trying to destroy our history.

What an amazing person indeed - so many heroes that will never be forgotten.......
This video needs to be shown in every school in the country. Thanks Nigel.
People have done extraordinary things in the defence of this Country, our culture, our democracy and our freedoms, in WWII and more recently. It would be well if a few people in Westminster and our media remembered it.
Thank youNigel for your Passion👍🇬🇧

Pure dedication and true Brit we are proud of you and thanks SIR Nigel FARAGE
god bless nigel farage
The man who will go down in history as the instigator of change in modern times. I thank you sir from the bottom of my heart
A well informed remembrance of one of the many heroes who supported the RAF during this critical time. Biggin Hill Memorial museum is a must visit during this 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Sqn Ldr Moxey's courage in two World wars, is history that deserves remembering.
Probably one of those quiet selfless heroes of the time for whom "any fuss" would be absolutely anathema. Will we ever see their like again? Thanks for sharing.
Ian. I am slightly more optimistic about it. The biased media and the likes of Twitter, RUclips and Facebook tend to give the impression that the world is populated with noxious people but when I am out there I don’t find them very often. They have control of the platforms and that gives them a voice beyond their importance. However they expose their views to mass scrutiny and that is good. 😉
What a man Eric Moxey. Thank you for highlighting this hero, Nigel.
THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS NIGEL, THESE HEROES DESERVED TO BE REMEMBERED.
Thank you Mr Farage for bringing back the memories of these forgotten heroes.
Much respect to a man I admire.
Thank you.
Loved this we need more of this well done Nigel again bring us something to think about less we forget
Nigel always presents thought provoking videos... Courage and bravery displays itself in many ways... Keep saying it as it is... I have been a big fan of Nigel's straightforward attitude and when he was on LBC, he was fair to callers, even if they didnt agree with him, he had respect for callers and views even if not his own...never rude or unkind... 👍
Recently I got to hold the George Cross awarded to the Earl of Suffolk. Another truly British hero.
For crying out loud why the dislikes, what the hell is there to dislike?

Jon F I’m sure those WW2 fighting men are happy with Britain in 2020.
A once common saying in Australia was ‘He has a lot of Moxey’ for someone who is brave or fearless. Common in the RAN in the 70’s. Never knew who Moxey was. Thank you!
