At the grand young age of 85, Tony Benn is still the greatest most inspiring and beautiful human being I know.
ReplyDeleteI love this man for his humanity; he represents all that was good and great about OLD Labour, before the traitor Blair destroyed the party.
Let's tie our ropes together in solidarity with Greece & our brothers & sisters throughout the world & REFUSE to pay the price to clear up the mess from the ruling class's drunken orgy of greed, rape and self gratification.
I first heard Tony Benn speak in 1992, when he travelled to South Shields and spoke at a rally against pit closures. There is, incidentally, a superb video on YouTube of a speech he made in the Commons at that time. He has the knack - then, this week, and at other times - of crystallising the big ideas and focusing on the bigger struggle we're engaged in.
ReplyDeleteThe next step is 22 June - emergency budget day - when we need protests everywhere to start raising a banner for an alternative to the cuts agenda.
