Text Tony Benn
Written on June 1, 2005
The Left Field debates are going to be online (or as online as we can make them anyway) via text messages, email and internet radio.
Is it too hopefull to think this will shut up some of the journalists (and the Grundian are the worst here) who spout the same old " Glastonbury is just another mark on the social calendar;Henley for the bleeding heart liberals" stuff?
I’ve got just a suspicion they might possibly write their pieces before they
get there then spend a week in the backstage bar. Or an I being too cynical?
Interesting, radical stuff does happen at Glastonbury (does in the Left FIeld anyway) they just need to look a bit harder.

Dear Mr Benn, I saw you on question time the other night and it was a pleasure to hear your views. You are one of the few people to use the word British (where appropriate) and Not English when talking about our country. Excluding a large part of our nation by saying things like England fought against Germany or the English Queen or the English P.M. drives a wedge between the English and the other nations that make up our un-United Kingdom.
