An Evening with Tony Benn

politician Tony BennThe veteran Labour politician Tony Benn comes to Broxbourne Civic Hall on Thursday 19 June at 7.30pm to talk about his life in politics and what he thinks about the changes in the Labour party.

 

The audience should expect an evening of frank responses and entertaining political anecdotes. This is a sequel to his original theatre tour that sold out in Broxbourne in 2002.

 

“I think people are fed up with sound bites, spin, sensation and scandal from politicians.  What people really want is a chance to discuss issues that affect all our lives, the things that really matter, and we have a discussion in a sensible uninterrupted and civilised manner” says Benn adding “A theatre is an excellent venue for this kind of intimate evening and is it is where political debate is really happening today. I get quite excited by this opportunity of bringing politics back to the people, which is probably not a good thing for a man of my age!” he laughs.
