FULL SPEECH of Tony Benn exposing West’s hypocrisy will give you goosebumps | Janta Ka Reporter

  • In February 1998, the British parliament debated a motion for military strike against the then Saddam Hussain regime of Iraq if it did not comply with United Nations weapons inspectors.
    The then Labour MP, Tony Benn, spoke passionately against his government’s motion and made a compelling case against the war.
    Benn, who died in 2014, has always been regarded as a statesman of British politics. Interestingly, the person sitting next to Benn in a brown jacket is none other than Jeremy Corbyn, who was ousted by the current Labour leadership for criticising Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.
    This speech was originally recorded by the
    House of Commons. However, we have sourced this video from C-SPAN and sharing this with our thanks to the US non-profit organisation.

      Tony Blair achieved his goal which he actually publicly stated and that was to destroy England. And he did. He received free university education but then he brought in charges. In his first year he also brought in 12 billion pounds of taxes on English industry. He then taxed the people like never before. Then gave his friend Lord Pilkington a special golden handshake (hence pilkington glass which is actually rubbish)…. And somehow even with all these taxes, the country became indebted as never before. Check out Blair’s personal assets and all those whom sat with him on that administration ….. amongst the world’s wealthiest people. Total corruption. The rebate from the EU that was obtained by MT ceased to exist because for some reason Blair was happy to have the hard-working people of England hand all the taxes to an unlawful organization. All politicians starting from Blair are owned by the same deep state scum. Whether they be to the left or right, they are all owned by the same master. Hence the state of the world today. They are in every country. Fortunately they have lost. The evil and corruption has always been there but now people are awake and they see.

    Tony Benn was so in tune with the British people at that time. This was the start of the UK going downhill. An expensive war for the UK and profitable one for the US, with their rebuilding of Iraq after an unnecessary war. Blair has done very well on a personal level, from that time and there after.
