  1. This is a man talking about liberty who has shared a platform with people who would overthrow liberty and put them selves in power – namely the Militant Tendancy, a bunch of Trotskyits who tried, and nearly succeded, in talking over teh British Labour Party.

  2. @yup5220 lol

  3. @yup5220 ron paul is nothing like tony benn . America is done you have nothing to offer the world you have been used and are now going to reep! IDIOT

  4. Depends on empathy, whether or not one can feel anothers injustice without having to go through it yourself. Some can do it, some just can’t. That is the source of most of the worlds problems.

  5. ron paul for president

  6. @buggeringon so you’re happy with the situation in ireland? you approve of what britain has done in ireland? tony benn is a hero for supporting finna fail when it was most unfashionable within politics and his party etc – he never toes the party line, he sticks to his principles – am not sure what he did such that you dislike him about pirate radio – i’m all for british culture and pirate radio, but there is a point which states if you let it remain underground it confirms its ‘bad’ nature etc?!

  7. Lowkey used this in his song One World!!

  8. Success is not equal to greatness – Cornel West

  9. @buggeringon Punctuate much?

  10. @kizersuzi Profit is a measure of success. A person having what they need is profit. I think what you’re saying is to put the dream of having before actually having it. Wake up. :)

  11. civil liberty????? this is the one politician who i really dislike he entertained ira killers in the house of commons but most o all i dislike him for shutting down the pirate radio stations in the 1960 s so not much liberty there or the masses mr benn and now we have a right to rule with his son hilary an mp and even his grand daugter being manipulated into the same rotten regime it seems that liberty only applies to his twisted version of events !!!

  12. I love this man—he is a rare combination of intelligence and humanity.

  13. what a man!!! people before profit, some1 should tell the to cameron n clegg

  14. Never liked him! but tony uve improved with age civil rights ahead of human rights act, grow up world we need to listen to guys like this

    Wow, what a fool. Everything should be voluntary, the exact OPPOSITE of State Socialism.

  16. Libertarianism..real libertarianism is left wing..the right care only for the liberties of a tiny clique of powerful people.

  17. Tony Benn is such a legend

  18. My god it is a joy to hear you!!

  19. @lynchmobb2000 Never mind 84 years. As long as thinking people exist, he will last forever.

  20. This man, is the ONLY politician I have ever been able to understand when he speaks. It is merely coincidental that I actually concur with his politics…Sir Tony Benn is a legend. Who will ever replace him? This question makes me feel very sad.

  21. Tony Benn Taught me the BIG FIVE. 1. What power do you have? 2. Who gave you that power? 3. How do you use that power? 4. To WHOM are you accountable? 5. How do we get rid of you? These are the questions that EVERYONE MUST adhere to in order for Democracy to take effect properly. Democracy = Even the BOSS has a boss!

  22. sweenyadam@TheChadley1000 I agree, mate. But lets not talk about his upcoming death, no-matter how close or far it may be. This could have been a possible Prime Minister, who would’ve been loved. Seriously, you can’t compare this guy to our current Mr. Brown…

  23. Tony Benn is brilliant. It’s going to be a very sad day for democracy and British politics when he dies.

  24. Tony Benn is brilliant. It’s going to be a very sad day for democracy and British politics when he dies.

  25. A great man. Politics should be about compassion and having a caring, decent society, not about profits for bankers and the rich. You can see the results of capitalism in British society today, look at the mess wer’e in.
