More quotes by Tony Benn
Britain is the only colony in the British Empire and it is up to us now to liberate ourselves.
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
The peace movement here is the biggest thing in human history.
Tony Benn
It's lovely to be old. I've got age, experience and zero personal ambition. No body could corrupt me by anything: possibly a job in the government, a peerage, a quango, I don't want any of it.
Tony Benn
I've made every mistake - but mistakes are how you learn.
Tony Benn
Choice depends on the freedom to choose and if you are shackled with debt you don't have the freedom to choose.
Tony Benn
Workers are not going to be fobbed off with a few shares...or by a carbon copy of the German system of co-determination.
Tony Benn
Britain today is suffering from galloping obsolescence.
Tony Benn
I'd rather die on my feet making a speech than die of Alzheimer's - and that's what I'm planning to do.
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
It is tempting to deny, but if you deny you confirm what you won't deny.
Tony Benn
It's the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.
Tony Benn
The one thing that is absolutely essential is that there shouldn't be any governmental control [of the media] directly or indirectly.
Tony Benn
Cabinet members are soon overwhelmed by the insistent demands of running their departments. On the whole, a period in high office consumers intellectual capital it does not create it....The less ministers know at the outset, the more dependent they are on the only sources of available knowledge the permanent officials.
Tony Benn
If ever I left the House of Commons it would be because I wanted to spend more time on politics.
Tony Benn
When Blair was elected leader of the Labour Party, he said, New Labour is a new political party - that was the phrase he used, and I'm so glad he said it because he set up his own party and I'm not a member of it.
Tony Benn
The quickest way to get to the top in society probably is to be a Blair Babe now. And then all of a sudden you find you're invited to parties. I don't want to be cynical, because I'm not. But I've seen it happen to so many people who move from the left to the right so damn quickly.
Tony Benn
Broadcasting is really too important to be left to the broadcasters.
Tony Benn
I have had the advantage of a radical Christian upbringing
Tony Benn
I do not share the general view that market forces are the basis for political liberty. Every time I see a homeless person living in a cardboard box in London, I see that person as a victim of market forces. Everytime I see a pensioner who cannot manage, I know that he is a victim of market forces
