Tony Benn
When you think of the number of men in the world who hate each other, why, when two men love each other, does the church split?
Tony Benn
I'm a democrat - I don't support Bush, I don't support Blair, I don't support Bin Laden.
Tony Benn
The Establishment decided Thatcher's ideas were safer with a strong Blair government than with a weak Major government. We are given all these personalities to choose between to disguise the fact that the policies are the same.
Tony Benn
I am not a reluctant peer but a persistent commoner
Tony Benn
