FULL SPEECH of Tony Benn exposing West’s hypocrisy will give you goosebumps

In February 1998, the British parliament debated a motion for military strike against the then Saddam Hussain regime of Iraq if it did not comply with United Nations weapons inspectors.

The then Labour MP, Tony Benn, spoke passionately against his government’s motion and made a compelling case against the war.

Benn, who died in 2014, has always been regarded as a statesman of British politics. Interestingly, the person sitting next to Benn in a brown jacket is none other than Jeremy Corbyn, who was ousted by the current Labour leadership for criticising Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.

This speech was originally recorded by the
House of Commons. However, we have sourced this video from C-SPAN and sharing this with our thanks to the US non-profit organisation.
