Tony Benn on Iranian History

[asynkronos]

If we had Tony Benn he would have turned our country around a long time ago. I think we will render him to the U.S. Pay some bimbos to tie him up and rape him in his sleep and cut holes in his condoms. It's that easy. You have had him long enough.

[0ct0parr0t]

I love this guy!!

[cableguy786]

Only Tony Benn gets an applaude, this is how respect people have for him.

[solo141984]

i would say that more nasty things have happened by BP and U.S. but the message is clear.. no war .. we are sick of it

[scfloyd1]

Tony Benn is right.

[iwinlaw]

Tony Benn for world president. What a man of integrity.

[nasri1011]

@Helicon2112

oh yeah that's exactly he is saying "just bow down to Iran"

he is not informing people of the reason the Iranians are distrustful of the west.

or telling us facts that our mainstream media don't pick up on. or anything to do with the title of the video.

no no dear god, he wants us to bow down, those are his exact words.

i quote "bow down bitches"

[ButherLi55ett]

He forgot to mention all 'Iranians' aren't raving nationalists.

[2dubstep5]

great video thanks for letting the truth out the box

[LARRSON77]

Check out ( JOHN MCCULLAGH "ILL DANCE ON YOUR GRAVE MRS THATCHER".........on youtube or myspace,well worth a listen!

[cj204697]

THE HATE WILL GO ON untill you ppl realize that we need to fix things from the roots! other wise the same problems will hapen again and gain! ( thats why you ppl thing history repeats itself.

[Mounhas]

Ah, maxiboy666 spreading his BNP racist comments, actually your comments were quite eloquent. Perhaps you might enjoy living in Burma (Union of Myanmar) or even Alabama - might have room for you in the Christian KKK.

[maxiboy666]

He may not be completely loony but he's a Communist all right and not patriotic to his country of birth whatsoever. He likes to rant on quoting various dates throughout history like some senile old school master but in reality it's just masking his hatred for his country. Tony Benn should leave the UK and go and live in his beloved Russia. It may not be purely Communist any more but he could pretend.

[Mounhas]

Alas Tony Benn is no longer in the British parliament, although he is still vocal where injustices are concerned, his son is in parliament but chalk and cheese, no comparison. Benn is quoted as saying if he had become PM of the UK he would have been asassinated by the US dirty tricks department, he is not anti-American, his wife was from the USA. The gutter press in the UK called him Loony-Bin not Tony Benn, implying he was mad, far from it. Many insane people in politics, but not him.

[revarney]

Tony Benn thinks he"s so important the CIA would of killed him?Ha!The working class people of this country would of killed the two faced old poser!

[Mounhas]

Read what I said, and I quote if he had become PM of the UK unquote so PM being Prime Minister would have made him of some importance, no? And who appointed you as the spokesperson for the working class?

[revarney]

Wedgwood-Benn ,contrary to what he would like people to believe is probably the vainest man to ever enter the house of commons and was always full of his own self importance.Thatcher ,Major ,Blair weren"t killed by the Americans so why should he?And he is mentally quite unstable.

[TheChadley1000]

Oh shut up you moron! Tony Benn didn't say it as if he would be so important, you really are thick! You seem to have a thorn in your side for some unknown reason. The guy speaks clear and simple truth and for you to character assassination him for being posh just shows what a stupid fool you are. Can a posh educated person not have a valid opinion? Seriously grow up!

[regvarney]

"Clear and simple truth"?He's got you brainwashed into his little personality cult big time hasn't he?Posh and educated people can have an opinion and so can I.Phoney Benn is an arsehole.Theres one for starters.

[TheChadley1000]

On what basis is he such a bad person?

[regvarney]

How long have you go?For starters can you explain his motives behind trying to get the UK to disarm our nuclear defences to the advantage of the Russians? Only a lunatic or communist would of wanted to do such a stupid thing but hey,the sun shines out of his upper class arse doesn't it?

[TheChadley1000]

You are stupid and taking what he said completely out of context.  He was humorously exaggerating, thats clear to see! He was making a point of how Americans national interests lie in whatever the interests of the corporate agenda are. You don't understand this at all so stop commenting you tit.

[regvarney]

Wedgewood-Benn only exaggerates his self importance.The corporate agenda is no doubt part of a neo -con conspiracy.Hope you weren't taken the piss out of too much at your "rough" school.

[TheChadley1000]

Lol don't worry I wasn't the victim of bullying at school. There is no conspiracy at hand, its clear as day. Aliens landing, America staging the moon landing, etc - all conspiracies. US politicians all being paid to pass laws, proven fact, MP's working for global businesses after retiring from politics - fact, a shift in focus from people to business since the Thatcher days - fact. You need to learn something else other than what your parents told you growing up. Simpleton.

[Emyousmusa]

Here Here... Tony Benn

[Mounhas]

tonylee1973 - I am a Brit and I did not destroy US Iranian relationship - what are you on about. Rather some people in the UK hang on to the Empire theory and the US wants to do the same - as a Brit I am not h appy with Britain's history of conquering and dominating and enslaving - a role the US has taken on also. But I do not blame Americans - only the administrations.

[hop208]

I saw the man is SICKO. Is he still alive and if he is, can he please come to the US and help us get our act together.

[tonylee1973]

the brits destroyed the US Iranian relationship.

[karlcelt]

the world needs more people in politics like Tony Benn

[hansotimunda]

tony benn, i wish we had politicians like him in our country. many more like him all over the world,.

[bopn]

They (ruling elite) want war with Pakistan, Venezula, N-Korea, Iran, Syria and Lebanon 2. We must keep repeating the truth that war makes war and peace makes peace- otherwise we will see the end of the world in this century. PEACE, LOVE, JUSTICE FOR ALL.

[DocGreen15]

Amazing ! He told it how it is!!!

This is VERY rare you hear this kind of truth being spoke on TV!

Respect!

[gabriellus018]

I can listen to Tony Benn all day... such an honest patriotic and inspirational man is hard to find nowadays..

[coszz]

Che Guevara called for 1000 Vietnam 's, the point being to destroy America economically and militarily if America attacks Iran this would be fulfilled.

[jerami101]

Truth, Peace and Love! Not propaganda and war! Don't be fooled, thinking that because we live in an imformation age that propaganda doesn't work. It works the same as it always has throughout history.

[leanfist]

brilliant, people need to wake up and spread love cos war is unjustified to every extent

[pigfister]

what about all the illegal extraordinary renditions by the USA aided by the UK.

Oh and BTW the sailors that were supposed to be in Iraqi waters, well thats what the UK Gov told us were actually in Iran's territorial waters and the UK Gov have made a very quiet retraction on this fact.

Read the Wiki: 2007 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel

[thomasst2]

Holy Crap!! The first mainstream person I've ever heard mention the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (now called British Petroleum or Beyond Petroleum or whatever) raping Iran for its oil for 43 years. Finally someone with sense.

[DocGreen15]

It's nice isn't it! To hear some truth and honest!

[wotdoesitmatter]

Report reveals Iran seized British sailors in disputed waters.

Newly released Ministry of Defence documents state that:

— The arrests took place in waters that are not internationally agreed as Iraqi;

Google the first line!

[kroovyandcal]

Bush will be out of office soon. Can't see even him being stupid enough to attack Iran. Unwinnable, if nothing else.

[Catalina1956]

There are powers behind Bush that tell him what to do...you cannot possibly think that he is capable of strategic planning can you? His father and Nazi grandfather are the cunning planners of this aggressive agenda against the world. As George I said "Welcome to the New World Order"! He wasn't joking, but demonstrating unbelievable arrogance. Very very dangerous family!!!

[sadeeq4nigeria]

u are right ..

[iballa2]

Tony Benn is the greatest politcian this country has ever had.

[obliviouspet]

Agreed. A true prize. Shame he never made it to PM.

[lapalad]

One of the greatest politicans the worlds ever had.He,s my favourite pom

[SoImAGeek]

Here Here

[HamechiKoloft]

Let them ave it Tony.

[donning]

TroyaE117 - What do you mean 'relativistic'? The only thing 'I wonder' at is your irrelevant inanity. Not only are you entirely lacking in cogency and germane comment -- you appear to be confused. There may be things that Tony Benn could be accused of. However, I fail to see how he could convincingly be deemed a relativist: be that politically, philosophically or otherwise.

[VoiceofBaghdad]

Tony Benn is and has always been brilliant! He is a man of great knowledge and insight.

[donning]

A shining light Sister - peace, tolerance and understanding.  It really could all be so simple.

[iranian4life5000bc]

Tony Benn is my friend

[sleemens]

this world is in for ALOT of headaches if any nation attacks iran =\.

[piran75]

troya, you need to actually listen to how we have played a part in fcuking iran about. from a caucasion born and living in the uk.

[wotdoesitmatter]

Standard response i.e. label them anti-American etc. Fortunately, we see through it and those who know about T.Benn will know he's definitely not anti-American or anti-West.

[TroyaE117]

The same old Benn relativistic muddy water laced with Anti-American, anti-west bile. It never sold to the British people, just the "rent-a-cheer" leftists that make that noise at the end. Just what has Iceland got to do with what happened here? You wonder? Benn will tell you, even though it was 35 years ago and involved fish.

[bushisashit]

hes anti the american regimes foreign policy not the people. he was married to an american.

[nilbud]

If you don't understand, it's because you're stupid, not because Tony Benn doesn't make sense. What I'm saying is, you're stupid. You are stupid.

[piran75]

even maggie wouldnt be fcuked up the arse by bush if she was still in!

[Durbs75]

I try not to be rude about politicians, i really do. But what is the point of Margaret Beckett??

[nima1352]

thanks for clever post!from a Persian!

[Goodfellow62]

well said, thank you

[longlivespain]

What if the whole europe was controlled by people like Tony Benn not people like Tony Blair.

[bagzie]

Tony Benn - always respected by his views and wisdom, still going strong into his eighties. Let's hope he has many, many years left in him

[Nounismisation]

That was quick. Well done 'whatdoesitmatter'
