Thanks for uploading. This man is a prince.

Deja vú; in Sweden, the party leader of the Social Democratic Worker's Party(Labour's sister party), Håkan Juholt, is being attacked in the same way Tony Benn was attacked during the 80's.
Both Juholt and Benn have dared challenge neoliberalism, they have put forward an alternative to market fundamentalism, and the right-wing press in both Britain and Sweden have done everything they can to depose of them both; in Britain they succeeded, in Sweden the hunt is ongoing.
To hell with Murdoch.

He is so so right. Absolutely spot on.

what a wonderful man - only 'recognized' once he's gone - a giant walking amongst us

Tony Benn is the Brian Clough of British politics - the best leader we never had (even though he was b4 my time)

Look around you today, he saw what would happen and no-one believed him he was set up by the press as being a "looney Left" politician, but he was right on so many things. We need to hear him again and listen closely

An inspiration. Always speaks sense. He has a clear idea of what is morally right and what is wrong and he acts upon this. If more politicians did that our democracy would be thoroughly improved

Spot on Tony, it was a privilige to meet you in 1992. We are now paying the price of Thatchersim, ripped off by privatised companies, no jobs for the youth, lost skills, Thatcher was a disaster for Britain.

Heard this wonderful man speak at a conference for A Level Politics students this year-- he spoke after Nigel Farage and the contrast between that snide, snivelling worm and this remarkable man was unbelievable. I had the privelige to ask him a question and he was kind and informative-- many of the other speakers didn't even answer what was asked.
