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.
Superb oratory coviction, powerful truths and nails the injustice, double standards and hypocrisy of unaccountable power!! A giant statesman and warrior for truth

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.

The people of Gaza elected Hamas as their representative and leader. Hamas stole decades of humanitarian aid and financial aid from the Palestinian people and used it to wage a unilateral and cowardly fight against the West. You sound shallow and very ignorant. Do better.
Here is a bell , You British created this mass , as in almost all Pitical mass in last 200 yrs ... why did you all run out of Isreal and the middle East. Should have left them to the Ottoman , who know how to deal with the tribes...

Here is another bell Palestinian was mandated to Britain by the League of Nations .
Secondly what political messes are you referring to thag Britain caused in the last 209 years ?
Britain left Palestinian because the United Nations partioned it in 1947
Honestly did they really not teach you any history at school . By all means critise Britain's involvement in this issue but at least get yiur facts right.
@@patrickchilds2987 The United nation did not exsist when the Brits and Anzac forces defeated the Ottoman . The Brits were not mandated out of anywhere after second world war , they were decolonizing because they could NOT afford it nor welcomed in the colonies. .. get your propaganda facts straight. what history was taught at school , you mean the bull shit they fed kids , so they believe Whatever spewed out in class room ...
The RH Anthony Wedgewood Benn , they don't make politicians like this late great anymore . The best PM the UK never had .
When Politicians had dignity and vigour.
What a phenomenal speech. He is a Legend. Inspiring. Please can our current MPs watch and learn from this
If he made that speech today, he'd be cancelled and disowned for hate speech and antisemitism.
Very sad times indeed that we live in.
I don't buy into the antisemitism bs...just a tool for deception!
My God, that was a beautiful speech! If only we had Tony Benn, or someone like him, in the house now. We don't even have anyone that comes close!
So much truth ... I am old enough to have seen it all happening!!!!!
Wise & prudent words
My favorite politician when I was young.
And no doubt one of the finest politicians we've ever seen globally.
May your soul rest in eternal peace Sir Tony...your speech is decades old but lives in the moment.
And lets not forget Robin Cook. More pirinciples and intergrity in thier little finger than the entire goverments of the so called free world today....
My favourite EVER British politician…what a man of honour
WE could do with some people like him in parliament right about now.
Wishful thinking
George Galloway. Jeremy Corbyn.
