There's also this one that is more recent.
There's number of examples of Ian pulling out this speech since then, yours is a good example

of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power
it refers to a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May_Day
it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech
from the play "Sir Thomas More"
here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory
on "The Late Show With #StephenColbert"
Nothing in humankind is ever new, the mechanisms universal…
And a most excellent lecture and presentation by Ian McKellen!
Simply marvelous.
400 years ago.

@benroyce a direct message to my followers. Do I have to mention them ? It only has it on the web. And it’s just a first message. I couldn’t even find the messages I’ve sent to someone.

apparently he knows it so well because he performed this in 1983 for bbc radio
i can't find a recording though, it's all locked up behind various access and rights nonsense
@benroyce @geppiegep According to Wiki, first performed it on stage in 1964. So he’s had this memorized longer than I’ve been alive.

@benroyce this is also a great reminder of why conservatives hate history and art, history to teach us this evil of hatred of others has always existed, and art to stir in our soul that it can and should be overcome. Great share, Ian McKellen is an amazing man

The same four elements also appear on Glasgow's coat of arms, as well as all over the city, and they are known locally as the tree that never grew, the bird that never flew, the bell that never rang and the fish that never swam.

One of the lamp posts outside Glasgow Cathedral. These feature four symbols, a bird, a bell, a tree and a fish with a ring in its mouth.
These symbols are linked to miracles attributed to Saint Mungo, the cathedral's founder and the city's Patron Saint. These are set within hook which seems to be modelled on a Bishop's Crozier, presumably a reference to Saint Mungo being the first Bishop of Glasgow.
