Speaking

Rupert Matthews is an experienced speaker on both historical and political subjects Rupert is available to speak on political subjects and current affairs to coffee mornings, lunches, dinners, rallies, AGMs or to social and political events of any kind. He is a witty and entertaining speaker with a well developed sense of humour. He is also an adept chairman of conferences and panel events. His speeches condemning the Climate Change Lobby and outlining how best to fight against the power of the EU are among his more popular political talks. Rupert has stood for both the Westminster and European Parliaments, so could talk at length about politics in general, but we all need a break from politics from time to time so you might care to consider other subjects. Among Rupert's most popular non-political talks are: RAF Bomber Command at War Rupert's father served in Bomber Command during World War 2 and the talk will feature his gas mask, flying boots and other memorabilia. King Arthur - Rupert's controversial theory is that there not only was a real King Arthur, but that he was crucial to the development of Britain as it is today. Hitler’s Forgotten Secret Weapon - How the Germans nearly won the Battle of Britain. Your Local Ghosts - What real ghosts are like - a talk adapted to your local area. Medieval Women - How women led society in the world of chivalry. Authors & Writers - How the publishing industry works. Rambles on Campaign - A lighthearted account of Rupert's experiences on the campaign trail. The Arrowstorm - The sweeping scale of England’s victories at  Crecy and Agincourt and the secret of the longbow’s success in battle. Yeti! - Are the legendary man-apes of the world real? The Biography of Father Christmas - A great seasonal favourite for December.  Other subjects available on request, Rupert has a constantly expanding repertoire of talks to suit all occasions.
