Tony Benn
Anyway, there was a bit of a debate at the end when I pressed Benn on his insistence on the national state. Globalisation, I put forward, was a good thing because it offered workers in poorer countries a new opportunity for employment and wealth. And, if the world could be a fairer place with universal standards of wages and health and safety, Benn agrees in the end. He’s also a technologist – which is pleasing, because I agree entirely with Benn on this – our future depends on technology going forward.
On a totally different note, I’m super-excited (as a Microsoft blog would say) to promote RV Blog – Nic’s re-launched network of eager bloggers. Check it out, and stay up to date with the feed on the right.
As me and Lucy said earlier – Who?
Sor-ry.![](https://dominicself.co.uk/images/emoticons/icon_lol.gif)
So I got confused between him, Tony Blackburn and later Nigel Benn.
That doesn’t matter
Like Tony Blackburn (
Lucinda) but better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Benn Read!
Ha.
As Josie said, think the reception he’d get in Waseley would be slightly different…
In my youth, I used to get confused between Tony Benn and Mr. Benn (http://www.outofrange.net/blogarchive/archives/mrbenn.jpg ). Easy mistake to make.
Wish Waseley could afford someone like him to come talk to us. We just PC Partridge and the Conexxions people.![](https://dominicself.co.uk/images/emoticons/icon_thumbsdown.gif)
How do you get young people interested in politics?
Tony Benn’s how.
