Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Whatever you think of his politics, benn is a dying breed - a principled politician, great communicator, someone you knew where you stood with. We need more politicians link him again, on all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17274 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 He got the law changed off his own bat so he could ditch his hereditary peerage because he disagreed with privilege being handed down. The (formerly) Right Honourable Sir Anthony Wedegewood Benn walked it like he talked it his entire life. We''ll likely never see his likes again.

Rob W 0 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) I always found it funny how he changed his name from Anthony Wedgwood Benn to Tony Benn, he removed the fact that he went to Westminster School (top hat 'n aaall) from his biography and cut up rough when anyone mentioned that he'd married serious money Edited March 28, 2014 by Rob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
