When you get two sides fighting a battle
and you don't agree with EITHER,
Life DOES get a bit complicated.
“How do you mean?”
I mean I don't agree
with their methods.
Either of them.
But their AIMS are different.
That's what's important.
“Well, the partisans hate the fascists, just as the fascists hate the Jews — There's nothing to choose between them.”
…..The appalling thing about Fascism is that
you've got to use
Fascist methods
to get RID of it.
We've all got a bit of it in us.
And it doesn't take much to bring it to the surface.
It stays with us.
Probably always will.
“Well, hadn't we better make the most of it now that we're stuck with it?”
Good God, no, you don't get The Point :
We're stuck with DISEASE —
We don't sit back and accept it, we fight it.
We've got to fight Fascism
because it's a Disease of The Mind.
And when you fight a disease,
you often use its own germ for inoculation.
Do you see?
“Right, stand at ease, Murray.
I've called you up here because of the report we've received...
Certain standards are required of you
when you join the Immediate Action Organisation.
The most important of these is Loyalty.
Loyalty to The Organisation.
Loyalty to The State.
Loyalty to The English People.
It is The English people whose welfare you are responsible for.
It is in this respect that you have failed.
You failed me,
You failed The Organisation,
You failed The State.
Merely because of your misguided sentimentality.
These... political undesirables were your friends,
and you put your friends before the state.
The Fletchers are being dealt with,
but you, however, are a nurse.
That is now your only value to the state.
It is for this reason and this reason alone
that we are transferring you to
Lidington rehabilitation centre
as a replacement staff nurse.
That's all.”
