    RIP Mr Benn

    I would add Frank Field to Mr Benn in that respect.

    Because this one actually cared about the prod he served but I agree the current crop and the origin of the people that get into this shot soup needs change

    I had a lot of time for Tony, can't say I always agreed with what he said but you can't deny that he was very passionate about what he believed in.

    he was my MP once in Brixton Hill. Asked to take a photo with my kids (I said no) and if I'd seen him on TV. The most VILE politician I can imagine. So awful a man. RIP Tony Benn. Sad to see him go and scum and Chuka around.

    TB was different. That's the point of this thread.... He cared. And did not care about what others thought.
