No point in dragging Tony Benn into your squalid fantasy, whatever else he was, and however many mugs of tea he consumed or interview tapes he filed, he shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the horrid Jim S.

Although I never agreed with his politics, he had a lot to say about British society which made a lot of sense. And, indeed, his observations about the banks and building societies were right on when you consider the toxic, semi-criminal activities they got up to in the loadsamoney years. Some of us remember.
