Such a wise man. I'm amazed they let him on TV tbh. He expresses view that get people booed off stage but he expresses them in such a beautiful way that you can't help but sympathise, even if you're the kind of moron that can't see propaganda for what it is
Zephaniah was a wonderful person. I used to read his turkey for Christmas poem to my boys. They are young men now and still refer to it every Christmas. RIP Benjamin.
This sounds like a made up anecdote to me. Never in my 1975 to present life have i ever heard anyone apart from a jewish man talk about Germans like this.
I had to look it up - based - A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.
@@geocareyBut being in the EU wouldn't save job losses, it never did following the 2008 crash or during the Eurozone crisis. Post pandemic & with the Ukraine war driving up inflation we all got hit, with Germany crossing the threshold of being in a recession. It was a major oversight by the EU to import Russian gas which handed Putin influence in Europe. Cutting back spending on NATO another. Whilst its an oversight by successive UK governments to embrace globalisation to rely on imports rather than invest in our manufacturing industry & nuclear energy to become more self sufficient.
One of the main beneficiaries of black privilege, he contributed nothing of any worth to this debate. The sycophantic clapping by the panel on the supposed comment of the second imagined person in the tale about being kill d by Germans is sickening.
You managed to perfectly say what I was thinking. You cannot fact-check emotional bullshiddt and "a frend said a frend of my office budd-ay's frend!" Oooh. Smiling Schmaltz makes any normal person wanna vomit.
RIP Benjamin. I cant't believe it. I'm hurt.

1:09 was he gonna say something?
Nothing that can actually be substantiated.
Philosophical platitudes ring false, but it will make you a Millionaire!
Ben Zeph is fucking based

A cool replacement for WOKE. Which has been corrupted and usurped by scumbags.@@geocarey
Cmon Jean.. you have good taste in music don't be a tea cup
Shows that all those hours of Tony Benn explaining why the EU is bad for the working class people.. you didn’t learn a thing.
Well, what we have now with job losses all over the place, I suggest that maybe being in the EU wasn't so bad after all?
Tony Benn was more scared of international capital than he had faith in International Socialism and Brotherhood. Sad.

This millionaire will not lose his job, he can afford the luxury of being all things to all people 🤨
Born in Handsworth of immigrant Windrush Gen......
You should read his autobiography
Oh, this is a really disappointing "both sides are good" take.
Love Zephaniah but that was some dumb commentary.
He was shit in the 80's ... nothing has changed I see .
still on tv more than you are buddy

Ohhh the hate is real with this one
People complaining about black privilege, are either too stupid to see their white privilege, too incompetent to benefit from it, or both.
WTAF is "black privilege"? Please enlighten us.
@@matthewmitchell6899 "black privilege" is when you ask a bigot like @nomansidey5258 to consider a black people as human beings.
What an idiot.
He was right we are getting screwed just look at the price of everything
