Tony Benn

Tony Benn would not have lied like Blair nor would he have been a lapdog for Bush. People in Fallujah would not have seen their hospitals bombed as they were by Blair and his Master.

The Channel Four News had "even-handed" coverage on Tony Benn but they insisted he was "divisive" and he was "holding the Labour Party back."

He was holding it back from becoming the prophets of privatisation.
He was holding it back from becoming the worshippers of war.
He was holding it back from becoming the idolizers of inequality and the sultans of sleaze.

How divisive is that?

It was a constant surprise to me that he opposed the idea of a new workers' party espoused by Bob Crow and thousands of trade unionists. He cited the "piddling little sects" of Socialism as his reason but a party with trade union support will be no "piddling little sect."
