Not Tony Benn please not the boring Benn!!

I rather doubt if many people who have seen the Roy Bailey/Tony Benn double act will agree with that.

I suspect that the quality about Galloway's performance that really struck home was the way that he was able to be forceful and angry without at any time losing his rag. If he'd cursed and sworn it would have completely undermined the effect. I can think of a few people, some around the Mudcat, who might learn a lesson from that.
