Tony Benn v Hilary Benn on war votes - BBC News 

Tony Benn was man of integrity and honour. One of the best.

Interesting how Jeremy is sitting behind both of them and in the same position.

The father speaking from the heart, the son speaking from a movie script.

Tony Benn was an honourable principled man. It’s sad to see that his son didn’t acquire any of his father’s virtues.

And that is why Corbyn sacked HB. His father would be ashamed of him.

Even when you watch this for the first time, not knowing the circumstances of the speech, you feel in your guts that you are listening to a good, honest person, with high moral standards and believing in what he's saying.

One had seen war and one had not, soldiers will always choose peace and cowards will expect soldiers to die at their bidding

Corbyn under tony: 🤩 Corbyn under Hillary: 😑

Tony Benn will be disappointed if he were still alive today

The Apple fell a million miles away from the tree. How sad, how truly sad...

I come back here often. This is such a powerful speech. It's so tragic that the pledge made with the U.N. has been forgotten. Tony witnessed the unforgiving horror of war. Hillary was a boomer who had everything handed to him. They are in NO way two equally legitimate arguments

Isn't that Corbyn to the left of the picture?

A brilliant illustration of how over time politics has become a popularity contest rather than a battle between right and wrong.

I wonder how Tony Benn would have felt hearing his son support an immoral war. The word disappointed isn't strong enough.

Benn slamming it here_ "War is not a computer game". Brutally honest

Imagine how moving it would’ve been for Hilary to have quoted his father’s speech when giving his own speech, and spoken against the war instead of for it.

Watching this in 2019 (As an attack on Iran looms) and it's fascinate to see that Jeremy Corbyn was seated behind both Son & Father during their arguments.

No one should call for war, unless they are willing to stand upfront and lead the charge !

God how is this possible? I watched his father speech so many times, as it moves me, and seeing his son being completely opposite its shocking...

I vote that all of the MPs that voted in favour of this motion should go in and fight as ground troops against ISIS. If they love war so much, let them fight it.

Tony Benn would disown Hillary if he were still alive. He was disappointed with him about Iraq.

Tony Ben was forward thinking, he predicted the madness that we face today. Briton best parliamentarian of our generation. Tony Ben RIP!

Tony Benn could bring tears to the eyes of the most hard of people

Tony Benn the best Prime minister we Never had

The emotion and intensity in Tony Benn's voice is so incredible!!

Disgraced by his own son

Look at Corbyn getting inspiration from the great man here.

Tony Benn all the way, a principled politician and I believe history has shown him to be right. Look at the mess Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have been left in. Intensions may have been good, but the outcome hasn't been.

I really don't black Hilary Benn for doing this. If my dad named me Hilary I'd try to destroy his legacy too.

What a bloody contrast between Tony B and Hilarious Benn.

No fan of Socialism or Tony Benns beliefs. But his speeches were amazing and required great thinking to refute. Man is legendary.

Interesting that Jeremy Corbin is sat back left of both speeches.

Oh Tony would be so ashamed of his son...

0:40 Never been more honourable man has been in PARLIAMENT Tony Benn Only man who understood TRUE price of WAR

I respect, admire and enjoy listening to Sir Tony Benn. There's an arabic saying that "Fire leaves only ashes" I think Tony was unique but his son unfortunately is very different.

Tony Benn was a great loss to ethics and democracy. I miss his sensible straight forward, and just voice.

what a shame! Capitalist greed has also taken over the great Benn's household. what a shame!

It's so sad that people didn't listen to Tony benn he was one of the greatest humans to ever walk the earth and I'm so lucky I got to meet him so many times

Tony Benn, a statesman if ever there was one.

Lol at Corbyn being in the background of both clips

Damn the flip from Tony Benn. Cordial and jovial initially to empassioned and angry. What a speaker.

I love how Corbyn is in the background in both of them 😂

WOW 47 seconds in and I can feel the hairs on my neck stand up, we need ppl like him more than ever now, human decency literally radiating from his every syllable. What’s worse is he has been proven right. We get Pritti Patel… 😫

I was appauled when watching the son speak that live. I still sort of am.

Ashes remain after the fire.

I watched 10000 times 😔😔😢😢😢🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Such a contrast to Tony benn . The son completely was wrong

And Corbyn was behind both of them...

Son of Tony - His son Hilary is a living smear on Tony's memory - Chalk & Cheese!

Tony benn never said, and apparently wouldn’t hear a word against, his son, but I can’t help think he must have been deeply disappointed in his son, here..

Just look who's sitting behind Tony!

He has put shame on his father's name

What a great man. Principles he believed in.

Ah Jeremy in the back !

I wish he was still with us to voice his views

One off the best speech ever.!

What a shame. Not a shadow of his father.

I love Tony Benn

What a speech

Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn! You sir are a legend. My hero.

Bravo Tony what a giant of politics the power and passion of this man astonishing a brilliant man , good to see JC in the back ground.

Tony Benn terrific

Hilary Benn's speech was NOTHING compared to his father. The choice of word, the tonality, the sincerity, the confidence, etc. everything Tony Benn presented was whole-heartedly and carefully crafted to express his passion and determination to stop the war. His intention had nothing to do with politics; nothing to do with money; nothing to do with the interest of those who would benefit him were he to vote against the war. He genuinely cared for the lives of those innocent people who, in Tony Benn's words, had no part to play in the brutality of the regime which they were dealing with. In contrast, Hilary constantly went back and forth with his "script", so he could make sure he mentioned every single one of those who he deemed beneficial to his political campaign. His body languages showed no passion towards his seemingly righteous words. It only showed brilliant acting, a deliberate plan of artificial movements in attempt to persuade. However, no matter how he tried to raise and lower his tone or waving his hands strongly in different direction, a show is just a show. Oh how typical it is that majority of modern politicians nowadays act in this shameful way while pretending to represent the interest of the people.

Tony Benn was a great man Hillary Benn was a great berk

I’d give anything for a politician like this in this day and age

Tony Benn was an amazing man. An eloquent silver tongued man, wholly motivated by his principles. I believe those principles were catastrophically wrong, but it commends the man that he was able to remain pure and passionate after so many years in the gutter of politics.

Does anyone know who the MP to the right of Jeremy Corbyn is?

He has forgotten the face of his father

Hilary thinking he’s Sue in Johnny Cash ‘A boy named Sue’

Jeremy Corbyn was at the back listening to Tony. Now Jeremy is behind Tony's son, listening or seething?

Talk about diminishing returns.....

I named my only son after Tony "Benn" yeah the Benn bit... What happened to Hilary???

Where are the Tony Benns of today.

His father was a better man.

Has Jeremy Corbyn got up from that seat in the last 30 years?

You've got it wrong Hilary

Notice how Tony talks about the people who the action affects and Hilary is just interested in the egos of parliamentarians.

When will we learn that we cant fight faith with weapons, if anything it strengthens them.

Both men made valid arguments. A son is not beholden to his father's views. Times have changed between 98 and 2015.

I wonder what Tony would of said of his son's speech.

in 1998 parliament was not completely owned by the Israeli lobby. Now it can't move without them saying so.

hard times; great men, good times; weak men, etc. etc.

Tony Benn the legend...can listen to him over and over again. The son is no match to his dad.

Tony Benn would be disgusted at his son's EU Surrender Bill.

Two completely different scenarios

It is very rare to have British men to have morals, Tony was a rare gem and so is Corbyn sitting behind him.

he means war vs iraq 2002?

The greatest betrayal of all keeps happening. 💔

The emotion Tony Benn showed near the end of his speech

Corbyn present in both scenes. Good example on how politicians use WWII to suit their rhetoric

Like father unlike son

And Corbyn sat behind both of them 😔

How sad. Some people seem to take some of their morals with them.

Tony Benn was a staunch Eurosceptic too. Something Hilary but also Jeremy should have the guts to take on.

Chalk n cheese

Making this kind of comparison is unfair both motions of different reasons different time frames and different governments one is official one is a gangsta

The Apple has fallen far from the tree

Shit, how bad its gotten

Corbyn there looking at Tony in complete admiration. Probably Jeremy's hero. Mine too, Jez.

I hope Hilary Benn is reflecting on these words and the state of Syria today.
