Fight For Our Rights

Some years ago I interviewed Tony Benn (below) for our film ‘Not In Our Name’. It was a wide ranging interview with a man who has always been generous with his time when it comes to supporting Labour movement causes. As president of the Stop The War campaign he has spoke at hundreds of meetings across the UK and abroad. I remember him saying that each generation has to fight to protect the gains achieved by the previous generation. Looking through my archive I can see just how true that is …
