#1 Why don't toy have a nice cup of STFU. Tony Bean.

The only peace the muslims will accept is if all the jews are dead. It's not hard to understand it is a religious requirement.

Any time anyone claims to be the "peoples" anything hang on to you wallet and run for the exit. "Peoples" is a favorite of communists, and Socailist dictatorships world wide.

The man is a "right wanker" I think they say in the UK.

#2 I now fully appreciate and understand why our UK cousins posting here (BD, Tony, Howard, MacNails, et al) are not nearly as enthused by Blair as Americans have been. He had a bunch of Looneys in his cabinet because, whether we see him as a stalwart WoT ally or not, he's in the Looney Party and is, otherwise, a card-carrying Looney with a Looney wife, Looney friends, Looney cohorts and Looney peers.

Gentlemen, I get it. Sincere apologies for overlooking such lunacy for so long!

#3 The gentleman, if I may use that term, has chosen to be interviewed on Syrian TV just after the American ultimatum was delivered to Assad. Even before he opened his mouth, he made clear exactly where he stands, not that this is anything new. The PM is well rid of the antisemitic bastard. And SPoD, I imagine Mr. Benn is fully aware of, and in agreement with, the Muslims' religious requirement on this subject. (Take a look at Fred's links to his name -- his ugly opinions are a matter of record.)

#5 More cuddly than George Galloway but completely hatstand. .com: spot on for me - you guys don't get to see the implications of domestic policy at first hand... it really is a case of 'who the f*ck else do we vote for?' in the UK.

#6 Ahh yess. I love it when they get to this part - the part where they admit they want and need American support. Benn, Galloway and the teaming hordes of old euro-lefties are the staunch allies of the old Arab tyrants and (less openly) the Islamo-nutters and they spend their time decrying the inequities of the Great Satan. Then, suddenly, they wonder - out loud, with no trace of irony, without blinking an eye - 'Why don't listen to us? Why don't the Americans reconsider their policies in light of our polite requests and persuasive pleadings. Gee, we could certainly accomplish a lot if we won over the Americans...."

#7 I'm very much for unlimited support of Israel. After all the country has been fighting against unlimited destruction for half a century.

I'll guess a little balance is needed.

#9 aaah the good old Tony Benn , he appears at every 'anti-something rally' known to man . He has a talent for sprouting so much babble it astonishes me .

Where would British politics be without him ? LOL

Tony Blair is marketed very well over the pond , but over here the Labour Party still has a loooong way to go b4 it gains the trust of alot of folk , unfortunatley , as Howard points out , there arent many options at all .

#10 and yes SPoD , he is indeed a "right wanker" , along with being the biggest "shit-stirrer" this side of Jordan.

#11 What sort of business interests does Benn have? Which boards of directors does he serve on? Is he brown-nosing for some of that Arab venture capital and investment money that is now the lifeblood of the British economy?
Follow the money trail. Scratch a lefty, you find a capitalist hypocrite underneath.
