His Gaza statement last summer was easily as bad as anything from Corbyn and directly contradicts the arguments he used for combating terrorism in his ISIS speech.

I no...Thank you, Daphne, for the hat tip reference. I noted in the comment to the article below this one that Benn had reminded his party of its proud anti-fascist and anti-appeasement past. While there were plenty of Conservative politicians (and many aristocrats) prepared to treat with Hitler and weren't bothered about how short the spoon was with this devil, Labour politicians and trade unions were fighting Mosley in the streets and the Nazis in any way they could (including fighting in Spain against Franco).<br /><br />Benn called ISIS/Daesh what it is: fascist. If you go to the last 3 or 4 minutes of his speech, he says all this and more. <br /><br />It was the speech of a statesman. I just hope he gets the reward hw deserves!Brian Goldfarbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-44130376278711906732015-12-05T02:30:27.802+11:002015-12-05T02:30:27.802+11:00Another great Spectator Podcast (open it in privat...Another great Spectator Podcast (open it in private or incognito mode) <br /><a href="http://blogs.new.spectator.co.uk/2015/12/podcast-special-syria-airstrikes-and-hilary-benns-extraordinary-speech/" rel="nofollow">Podcast special: Syria airstrikes and Hilary Benn’s extraordinary speech</a><br />Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024690260923786342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-48636988760277027762015-12-05T01:38:39.083+11:002015-12-05T01:38:39.083+11:00Bob Carr does his Corbyn impersonation.
