Yup, Martin, you’ve definitely missed something.

It’s called reality.

And, at its worst, your comment reads as though you consider the Palestinians to be an uncivilised society, in contrast to the Israelis. I’d love to know how you qualify that distinction. (And if it’s purely that one fires rockets at the other unprovoked, you’ve really very definitely missed something.)

Very interesting but is this the guy who speaks so vehemently against Israel and leads the march against the BBC’s decision to remain impartial. He seems to have lost his political balance and should speak out against those who launch rockets against civilized societies. Or have I missed something?

this is awesome. well done for thinking and acting so quickly when you saw him.

I bumped into Tony Benn earlier this year, and I wish I’d had a “geek bag” with me to conduct an interview! we had a chat and I had to make do with gushing at him and blogging about it afterwards

I just noticed a mention of this by Shani Lee on the Nlabnetworks Twitter feed so popped over to take a look. Tony Benn is a huge hero of mine and it’s great to see him still going strong.

In the late 1980s I worked at BBC Radio Nottingham for a while. Tony was a regular interviewee and I still remember how all of us in the Production Office would fight to be the one who went down to Reception to escort him to the studio. He’s model of someone who seems, at least, to have been able to stick to his political principles throughout an entire lifetime. Thanks for posting this!

This is fantastic – Tony Benn is such a legend – hardworking, principled and rational – a great man. Loved your questions too – just the right amount to fit in that short space before his train.

Good stuff!

Wow, Christian. Again a real hero of mine also. Hats off to you and the fine gentleman. Long may he reign.

I’ll echo the bit about your interview style. Keep it up. You’re a natural and I always look forward to a new podcast and other video gems.
