    Tony Benn was an inspiration to me in my youth. A great believer in socialism and in parliamentary democracy. In my opinion he always spoke from the hip (even when Ali G interviewed him!!) I'm gutted.

    I had the pleasure of hearing Tony Benn speak briefly a few years back, here's the vid that someone made. He packs vegetarianism, animal rights, vivisection, activism, the environment and death threats all into 5 inspiring minutes. :D

    He was the son of a viscount and came from a very privileged background, he may have been a Socialist / Marxist but he was not working class, he was a million miles from being working class. I'm not having a go at him before I get pelters, I am just commenting on a misconception. I paid my respects earlier in the post.
