(there are some more penetrating analysis of Tony Benn and his contradictions going around, but on a basic human level, this is great as ever by Mark Steel -- who had only just written an equally great, and moving obit for RMT leader Bob Crow.

There will never be a greater retort to this miserable myth than the life of Tony Benn. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/56086 -- "Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity's original virtue.
