Err ... as Benn was once my MP - I've had many a drink(*) with him (and his now departed wife Caroline).
Nice man - good constituency MP, only "loony" nationally !

Er, perhaps check someone 'In The Know'?
TRUE BRIT ex-WW2 flying officer, (UK right-wing/majority media feared, marginalised and misrepresented) veteran Labour ex-M.P. TONY BENN:
" As a minister, I experienced the power of industrialists and bankers to get their way by use of the crudest form of economic pressure, even blackmail, against a Labour Government. Compared to this, the pressure brought to bear in industrial disputes is minuscule. This power was revealed even more clearly in 1976 when the IMF secured cuts in our public expenditure. These lessons led me to the conclusion that the UK is only superficially governed by MPs and the voters who elect them. Parliamentary democracy is, in truth, little more than a means of securing a periodical change in the management team, which is then allowed to preside over a system that remains in essence intact. If the British people were ever to ask themselves what power they truly enjoyed under our political system they would be amazed to discover how little it is, and some new Chartist agitation might be born and might quickly gather momentum. "
Benn has topped several polls as the most popular politician in Britain. He has been described as 'one of the few UK politicians to have become more left-wing after holding ministerial office.' Since leaving Parliament, Benn has become involved in the grass-roots politics of demonstrations and meetings, and has been the President of the Stop the War Coalition for the last decade. He has been a vegetarian since the 1970s.

Indeed ... if he has a degree he could start with explaining economics to his paymasters, the Unions (for it is they, ratther than ANY government that has wiped out more jobs than anyone else). |

So what is your angle ?
Are we meant to take Mr Blair seriously or not?
As for a 'vibrant financial sector" , we have certainly had that much to our despair. |
