The BBC Politics Show are running an online poll to find the greatest living political hero
and it was brought to my attention last night that Thatcher was currently in the lead, absolutely incredible though that is to believe...
Well, perhaps as a direct result of the good work of many at Urban 75 and my friends at The Void this situation has now turned around, and Tony Benn is currently the just leader.
I have met Tony Benn once as well, at a "Land is Ours " action, in Wandsworth way back in the nineties.
It was about 5.30am or something stupidly early on the very first day, and I staggered in bleary eyed and headed straight for the tea urn, and there he was. He actually reached out and shook my
hand, and introduced himself.
He's a top geezer.
Anyways, there's only about 1% in it, so, be sure not to let a travesty and that evil hag retake the lead.

Comments:
It seems utterly irrelevant to cast a vote for people who's political power and influence has long since ended in a poll that decides nothing.
In the real world, way back when, the British public decided Benn and his party were unelectable as suitable government (and now we can see why) and Thatcher and her party was.
An irrelevant online poll cannot change the reality that whether or not you like Thatcher, she was winner in reality and her decisions and personality will be remembered by history, whilst Benn will be shortly forgotten.
