But take it from me, he was an astounding man.
Kinda surprise the OP took issue with it as I imagine he HATES Benn and what he stands for, but hey...

I don't agree with his politics but I agree that he was a powerhouse figure in British politics and will be sorely missed.
The likes of him and Thatcher are what makes politics - a towering figure with a presence and the clockwork mind to back up their convictions.
