  • Are the labour Party Communist?

    Is the beginning of their history Communism?

    Are all labour leaders Fabiens?

  • At the beginning of this video there is a caption that reads "Britain Belongs To You". In 1959 Britain had much different demographics with the general population being far more White than it is today. The Labour Party which is a liberal and therefore anti-White organization is most responsible for the third World mass immigration to Britain. Obviously the common phrase "Liberals are Liars" applies to the Labour Party with their big lie that Britain belongs to you.

  • belive it or not tony benn was what we would now call a spin dr.the tv operations room was a bbc tv studio

  • Good old non-Viscount Stansgate. Hasn't changed too much at all, really.

  • Cripes, is this a proper broadcast I thought that it was a vitriolic spoof.

  • lol as opposed to minister's from Eton.

  • anyone know who 'Mr Jaspar' is?

  • Hugh Gaitskell was a decent and honourable man. Had fate not intervened and he died at the age of 56 who knows what he may have achieved.A Gaitskell Government in 1964 would not have made the tragic mistakes made by Mr Wilson in failing to devalue on taking office.

  • it's Tony Benn back in the day

  • By jove you're right! I knew I'd seen this Anthony Wedgewood Ben chap before.

  • People should realise that this country has been MUCH better off since we got rid of the Royalists (Tories).

    Labour are constantly having to defend against freemasonic plots, designed to foil their efforts.

    They run the banks, too, so all of this non Co-operation by the bankes, is down ot the stinking tories, trying to break the people's will.

    The MORE the tories shout and cry, the BETTER this country is doing, i can tell you.

    And the Press are ALL tory voters, so WAKE up !

    We are WINNING

  • gaitskell was a truly honest man almost incedible in politics. how pathetic politicians today arecompared to these

  • Have you noticed how Benn's accent is more Received Pronunciation or posher in this broadcast, than it would become in later years?

  • Comment removed

  • and it hasnt actually changed, very much

  • Yes, Kruschev could fly off the handle once in a while - like when he agreed to put nuclear weapons in Cuba. Other than that I am sure he was a swell guy.

  • Gaitskill would have been a good PM, Blair would not have moved the Party to the right if he had been able to reform the Party.

  • Incidentally Benn and Woodrow Wyatt are the best political diarists. In this election the Conservatives got a 100-seat majority however.

  • Labour still got hammered regardless

  • I love the socialism that was one time espoused by the British Labour Party. Tony Benn, Michael Foot, Billy Bragg, Clement Atlee, Ken Livingstone, and other socialists inspired me to become one myself.

  • I hate the Labour party and all it stands for, but i admire Mr Benn, he is a conviction politician who passionately believed in his cause and would not be swayed, i only wish there were more like him in all the parties.

  • slickdude32- Sir Menzies Campbell is one

  • i liked labour but i cant trust them any more so this time ill be voting librel we need change all labour dose is brack prosise

  • Tony Benn was a Gaitskellite in the 50's and turned left later in the Wilson Cabinet. He is a brilliant man and fascinating politician and heir to a great tradition although I did not believe in what he did in the early 80's in the Labour Party

  • Brilliant archive footage! Tony Benn still going strong!

  • AW Benn is an example of how age mellows the horrid into the stuff of nostalgia. Funny how it's forgotten just how awful Benn was as a minister, how much rabble rousing he engaged in and how he happily served in the cabinets of Wilson and Callaghan while now repudiating the Labour policies pushed by those governments.

  • "Happily served in those cabinets" ? Read his diaries !

  • Mr Benn is a legend.
