An absolute legend has passed! RIP. Deep thinker and a man of true integrity.
RIP and Rise in glory our Legend 😂❤
Rest in power Benjamin Zephaniah.
We never met one another,
but I will never forget you brother.
Two socialist souls,
with well meaning goals
and hearts that were joined at the lip.
We may take a pause,
before continuing your cause
to mourn your passing,
and to celebrate your passion
for the suffering of others,
for the fathers and mothers
who's children went hungry last night.
We'll pick up your pencil
and use it to stencil,
the words
injustice is no justice at all.
So rest easy brother,
till we do meet each other
in the stars that sparkle for all...
That’s beautiful.. thank you for sharing your love in more ways than one. Blessings
So thoughtful and kind. Yes, lets continue to use his words as a stencil to fight injustice. Yes, lets continue.😊😊😊
Beautiful words. He would’ve loved it.

Great interview John. Human and animal kind has lost a true leader. RIP Benjamin.
Amazing interview. Sad loss for the country.
... and the world
I adored this great man
What an incredibly endearing and real human as he was here…great lowkey interview too thanks for that rip B 😢🙏🏽🍀
Cracking interview John, love the way you let him tell his story nothing is contrived, very honest way of interviewing.
Benjamin was one of the greats, so very inspirational, so humble. I love his work and I am so glad he left such a legacy. Its his birthday today - 15th April, so happy Earth strong you wonderful, beautiful soul!
ah man. R.I.P Benj, so sad to see you go.
What a smile. What a voice. What a beautiful soul.
Brought tears to my eyes when he talked about the Dylan Thomas poem. Such an intelligent, genuine, sensitive soul. A cheeky sense of humour too. A great natural interview.
Magic stuff, thank you Benjamin and John for this wonderful conversation x
Classic BZ. Open and unmasked.. i did have the pleasure of meeting him after we already hooked up on MySpace where he "absolutely loved" the song i wrote about his OBE snub on channel 4.
Thanks so much for posting this interview. Rest in peace Benjamin, a great poet!!
This is another one of my favourite interviews.
Rasta man never dies, and if he dies, he never rot, and if he rot, he never smell, and if he smell, he only smell Ganja. : Unknown Author
Love this interview. I didn’t know Benjamin before, perhaps because I’m not from the UK. RIP
Interestingly in the 1980's the Sun headline run this "would you let your daughter marry this man"
He is working class British/Jamaican, we are the salt of the earth.
I achieved what his mother aspired to become. She wanted to be a nurse in the NHS.
Interesting Documentary 1983 Channel 4.
RIP BZ - you've left for heaven too early. You were supposed to tell the story and indeed do so in full affecting all across the board. Undeniably you're immortalised thro' your works. Aren't you a legend in your own right that the world has witnessed?
Oh wow Benjamin Zephaniah he's legend man R.l.P❤❤❤🙏🙏😒
War criminal Henry Kissinger gets to live to 100, yet a beautiful being like Bemjamin Zephaniah has his life taken away at 65. It's fucking wrong.
But only God knows best and we can’t question it. Very mysterious indeed!!
Fabulous work John and your Goth book is so beautifully put together .Benjamin was a true polymath and so many white and black people can learn so much from him.xx
You are a very good interviewer. Great episode 🫡

two of my favourite vegans

Benjamin was a great supporter of the Palestinians. 🇵🇸
Yes, he believed anyone can be Palestinian just like they can be British ❤️
Selassiie isn't Christ, how can you worship somebody you can see
What’s your point just here
