(This is what said at the of the war on the wire less).I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street. This morning, the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German government a final note, stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany...
The situation in which no Word given by Germany's ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel itself safe, has become intolerable. And now we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part...
May God bless you all. And may He defend the right, for it is evil things that we shall be fighting against -- brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution; and against them I am certain that right will prevail
