    One of a tiny handful of men to have gone through public school and Oxbridge and learned the difference between right and wrong !

    The lack of Conservatives is obvious; but the lack of Labour is heartbreaking. They truly are lost.

    I hadn't seen this before. Thank you for uploading it Susie. I was a fan of Benn, a hugely principled man who spoke his true beliefs always, was intelligent, incredibly hard-working and should have been Labour leader. I also like Skinner for similar reasons; an MP for four decades and loved by his constituents because he's honest and works hard for them. So few MPs like them are left now and that's a real pity. I don't vote Labour myself, in fact I'm a Tory; but I recognise honest, principled people and I recognise that our parliament is the worse off for the passing of Tony Benn and his kind. Skinner does give a wonderful tribute to him; he clearly lost a good friend.

    I agree with a the comments here. The working people of this country have lost a true champion.
    It was my privilige to hear Tony Benn at the Tolpuddle festival for many years. It won't be the same without him, as he was part of the furniture.
    Fine words from the beast.

    this man has inspired me throughout my young life - if any one needed to understand why some people want to improve the world for everyone and will fight for ever against those who treat fellow humans like dirt. Well Dennis, Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn led and are leading that fight. Let's all get behind them and treat those who despise us, with understanding for their inadequacies and paucity of their lives:. They have nothing to be proud of ever!
