Sad to hear of Tony Benn's death this morning - the only politician I can recall admitting he was wrong.
I was lucky enough to meet him a few times, and he was a charming, kind and witty man. Even those who found his views anathema must surely have admired his conviction and compassion.
RIP.

I agree ACT, a sad day indeed. He was an honest politician and a devoutly good human being. Very rare in politics. (IMHO).

I too mourn the passing of a true titan of uk politics. A great orator, a fabulous politician, and all too sadly probably the last of his ilk in my lifetime. Rip Tony (The former Lord Wedgwood) Benn

Indeed, a rare and fine orator of our times, I doubt we will see another man like him. I to met him and he was a fine character, and a prolific writer who thought with such clarity. He will be sadly missed, but he didn't waste a second of his time on this planet and is an example to us all.
