One of the good guys imo.
You may not have agreed with his view but at least it would have been HIS view.
Unlike the P.R. manufactured and manipulated marionettes on all sides today.

He did renounce his hereditary peerage, which very few people would do, and I heard him on the BBC talking about how he was strongly against a federal Europe. Other important stuff he doesn't seem to get at all, and I find it bemusing that he still believes in the 'democratic process' having been in the middle of it for most of his life. I would have thought by now it would be clear that it's a pointless sham, but apparently not. However, it's rough that he's ill, but it comes to us all eventually. It must have been tough for him to live the last thirteen years of his life without his wife.

Which means nothing more than breaking down the good British traditions..the Lords was only made how it is because the hereditary peers stood up to the government.. Its hard to dominate those empowered by birth not by political edict

Did you know Tony Benn is a distant relative of Charles Darwin and Josiah Wedgwood who was a potter but also an abolitionist.

Tony's one of few politicians i will listen to when being interviewed although his faith in the labour party is slightly worrying for me.

He is a product of the political hierarchy so taking that on board he's not such a bad guy compared to the rest of them.

I love how people always refer to the ones they like as being "one of the good guys". Tony Benn is a highly popular politician..just like Obama, just like Blair was..had Benn had any real power he would have been revealed to be just the same. Of that I can assure you! The NWO is a totalitarian SOCIALIST world order..Benn is a powerful socialist!
