Trouble with Tony is, that he wasn't normal apart from the pipe maybe, this is not a pipe

Just about the last of the great men politicians in the UK, men of principle and their particular ethics. Kier Starmer or Rishi Sunak are weasels in comparison.

22:55 well we know what it is...

1:56.. if only he took his own advice.

I think Powell and Foot were giants; I know little of Maudling; Jenkins has done as much for the sum total of human happiness as Blair.

I’m here because of Michael Sheen

The man is a genius.

25:50: entanglement

From 1994 to 2004 I was privileged to meet with and correspond with Tony Benn. I admire that he allowed himself to be defined and driven by conviction rather than career convenience - cost whatever it might. And I was very blessed by his continual personal interest and encouragement of me through a critical decade in my life. Tony gave his life to occupying the prophetic space that speaks truth to power. This began for Tony when as a boy he was banned from his Sunday School for ably competing with the Sunday School teacher in his earnest attempts to truthfully interpret Scripture! Courage came naturally to Tony and he seemed to have no concept that this was not a universal trait. Without knowing how he did it, he unfailingly strengthened the courage of all who came close to him. Tony’s investment into younger people in his later years was inspirational. I am so grateful for his personal encouragement towards me. Without a doubt, Tony has influenced my preaching, my politics and my parenting.

You cannot help having a point of view because everyone sees the world through his eyeballs

Powel was note 'right wing' at all.

A true Welsh hero!

I really depressing for me to watch this video

Free speech and respect

40 years ago now, as a history undergrad, I sat opposite Tony Benn on a train from Paddington to Bristol. I had some of my books and notes spread on the table in front of me. He asked me what I was studying, and our conversation started right there! I have never forgotten it. He was wonderful company, an expert talker, and an interested listener. He gave me some pointers for an essay on The Levellers which I was writing! His enthusiasm and interest in so many things has stayed with me. I think Tony Benn was a great man. I am proud that I met him on that train journey that day.

My memories of Michael Foot is that he was pompous, incompetent more concerned about proving his left wing views than the welfare of the people and the country, good riddance.

Brilliant orator and true socialist

My time 1950/60 We had the best Tony would have been a great Pm for England My opinion Had time for people Had time for history A scholar ❤

I always had time for Tony Tony such a intelligent scholar Amazing child life And having respect parents I now fully understand Influence from his parents Made him a great Outspoken speaker Thanks Street wise tal....... Am a working class Came from hardship Tony had a privilege lifetime And experience a working class All because of his parents Teachings Unfortunately we don't have these scholar anymore today

Powell's tragedy was, he assumed everyone he spoke to was as intelligent as he was.

And he has a sly sense of humor. The managerial left as Leninist😂 you bunch of amoebas …

Lovely conversation. Love listening to Chomsky. Encouraging. What I love: he makes no excuses; he gives explanations.

Today UK is rule by inmigrants decents of course they are against original british people they see them as racists colonialists

I bet you English wished you had listened to Mr Powell now.

And all the conservatives have done since is try to destroy all this great man’s work

True heavyweights because they had integrity.

A man ahead of his time.

Such a mind inspiring debate of men of opposite ideologies of their time, both succinctly arguing their respective points. Respect to both contributors and to the host (forgive me I do not remember his name) for not being an activist as to lead the argument in favour of one side in particular. Our modern age MPs & journos should learn from this exchange. My utmost appreciation to you for posting this 👍🏽

Mr powell told the truth, unfortunately the govermnent is not based on the truth, so he had to go.

Robin Day, no nonsense, how we need someone like him now.

I was 2yrs old when he gave this lecture and nothing, not one single thing has changed in politics and the manufacturing of consent and war since then. *Keep in mind the word ''crisis'' has been applied with equal thickness throughout history, it's been spread over the world like peanut butter, and we almost always seem to be in crisis. If we are to believe the left, and then the right, we are never without a dire, and terrible doom within the next minute! "The end is near!"

Both white interviewers can't hide their disdain for Mr. Paul Robeson's eloquent, unwavering, accurate, assessments of global white crimes against humanity. ✊🏾🚫⚖️🚫☮️✊🏾

True science and religion do not mix.

how is the audio so clear

Saved millions of lives

The mass hypnosis that engulfed most of the Tory Party with regard to the EEC-EU in the 1970s is one of the most tragic developments in modern times

A truly great, great man, we have nobody in Parliament today that deserves their names mentioned with his. A True Hero ✊♥️

This is informative and great! Discussion of Congregationalist and its transcendental natures.

Exelente interview... professor Chomsky.... take care you self... you are the one human kind.....l hope humanity get better..👍🕊️❤️

He knows almost everything about humanity, impressive............🤔.....👍❤️🌎🕊️🇲🇽

The 1970s was a time when some of the nation's prominent 'brains trust' were the leading politicians of the period. Powell, Foot, Benn, Heath, Jenkins, Wilson and other would wipe the floor with any modern politicians.

On the Kennedy assassination, if it stood alone, then i would agree with Professor Chumsky. But. There were many assassinatiins within a 5 year period, and all attributed to individual lone gunmen. I am not a fan of conspiracy "theories", however i find it difficult to swallow so many coincidences. As for the collapse of the towers, again too many coincidences, some extremely convenient. The trillions missing from the Pentagon was impossible to pursue since the accounting section of the Pentagon was destroyed by a helpful terrorist? And a building collapsed like the other two without being hit by an airplane? Nothing suspicious about that either?

So glad he left this hated country for another. Oh wait, he's living currently in AZ

PUREBLOODS Have a Listen 👂

Having spent the last few days on a deep-dive into AI, deepfakes, block-chain and machine-learning: it's mesmerizing to watch this footage. It's less than 40 years ago, and yet it seems like a different millennia. People arguing about whether wood-block printers should be replaced with automation. And a nation that is scarcely recognisable in its make up, values and politics. I don't say it was better or worse - but it was so, so different, and such a few years ago.

What a man?

The accents are mind boggling. How did we descend from this to Tony Blair and Jamie Oliver’s faux estuary? The only people who talk like this now are King Charles and Jacob Rees-Moggs.

Crap american Chomsky is a crap lier comunist to forget...This guy Chomsky is a lier a traitor of west civilization and free world... I Thanks for Bush and other leaders (NATO), Irak was cleened from Sadam a cruel dictator, a killer of kurds, an invader of Kwait and Iran, the creator of ISIS terrorist organization, thanks God one less islamic terrorist murderer country...The people of Irak thanks for all that facts...

Wow, Foot nailed Ted Heath spot on there in the last segment.

Socialism died with Mr Benn and Jeremy ......we had our chance and blew it!
