Do You Think Tony Benn Is Spinning In His Grave....

[ToraToraTora]

....given his well known antipathy to the EUSSR and that his son is the architect of the Surrender act?

[10ClarionSt]

Nah!

[davebro]

Yes - Hilary (bomber) Benn is a disgrace.

[Ken4155]

He was cremated!

[Theland]

Son is definitely not a chip off the old block.
(And his tongue is forever flicking out of the left side of his gob).

[lindapalmara]

Wonder why he was given a girl's name?

[andy-hughes]

Probably.

I listened to Tony Benn when he spoke at Glastonbury Festival about ten years ago, and all I could do was nod along and think how much common sense he talked.

[naomi24]

A different breed.

Tony Benn was a charming man but a complete charlatan.
He went from being the bête noire of Middle Britain to bring its darling once there was no danger of him ever actually being in power.
A hero to the green-wellied ladies of Cirencester.
Rather bizarre.

Pity the son didn't receive any of the fathers attributes.

[ichkeria]

And one day Jeremy Corbyn will be a hero to the jam-making, allotment-tending suburbanites who once hated him.
Just as soon as he’s retired :-)

Hilary is a unisex name, like Vivian/Vivienne

[Bigbad]

It is, Jackdaw. But why do unisex names seem to sound more girly than blokey?

[Old_Geezer]

I asked at the seance, and the spirit said, "Who ?".
So I explained and they said, "Oh ! You mean 'windmill' Ben !"
