Benn the Banker
“Ordinary people are being forced to pay for the bankers’ profligacy” screamed Tony Benn in 2010. “This government of millionaires says “we’re all in it together” and “there is no alternative”. But, for the wealthy, corporation tax is being cut, the bank levy is a pittance, and top salaries and bonuses have already been restored to pre-crash levels.” It seems his Oxford educated granddaughter got the message. Guido wishes Emily the very best of luck in the Equity Sales and Trading department at UBS…
Ha, all at it together.
Why dosn’t this government Train More Afghan troops so that they can KILL more Nato forces. OMG, That is their EXIT plan.
Why dosn,t this government build more Offshore Wind turbines. With their life time subsidy of 80% and make power to factories and homes the most expensive in the World. OMG, That is theri Energy plan.
HA HA HA HA HA,. No wonder the country is Fu-ked , JUST put the Tax Up. Well done Muppets
A Champagne Sociopath family that finally stops biting the hand that feeds them.
What next, Poly Toynbee’s kids turning up at Unicredit Bank
Baffling that she is so oblivious to the hypocrisy of her working there…truly a sociopathic family
Benn lives in splendour in Holland Park, one of London’s wealthiest & exclusive domains.
As the vanguard of the Revolution he is simply imitating other socialist plutocrats – Mao & his first class travel & palaces, Stalin & his dachaus, Brezhnev & his huge collection of American cars, Blair & his luxury abodes in London & his country estate……..
Steady on, why does she have to subscribe to her grandfather’s barking mad politics or else be accused of ‘hypocrisy’?
she’s an ex-liebour candidate
she’s a legitimate target
Frightened Inmate – This is exactly what we are saying
She is the first Benn not to subscribe to her “Do as I say, Not as I do” Champagne Sociopath family
Do as I say and not what I do.
My son with the female name upheld family honour by protecting our land from erosion when he was Minister of the Environment. Learnt it all from me. I sometimes speak sense, I am told.
It was right that my stately home was protected from the ravages of nature and that some lower class oiks humble hovels sacrificed in exchange. If a son cannot do his family duty, then what has this world become?
They are in it together, our political class is owned by the corporate global banks.
Oh the Hypocrisy !
I suppose she got the job an merit with absolutely no “back scratching” or donations to the party involved !
Still plenty of high paid jobs out there for our elite classes
All in it together, except for the bankers, the politicians, the unions, the public sector, the train drivers and the petrol tanker drivers.
Socialists are a dying breed, because of the benefits system they can all afford to be Tories now.
UBS is technically one of the words that will get you modded. Which is why the swiss franc hasn’t been it’s normal super-safe haven.
Outrageous. All the best jobs going to the children and grandchildren of Peers of the Realm.
If I were a socialist, I’d be really, really cross about this.
She will of course be donating her salary to the leftie cause. (by paying high taxes to sponging feckless layabouts)
She got her job on merit – only one applicant.
Oh come on really ! McDonalds will be sooo upset she turned them down
Visit not the sins of the Grand-Father upon the child. Benn is fair game, his grand-daughter is not. Bad taste there, Guido.
Don’t be so precious. She asked, via Twitter, to be wished luck. That is precisely what he did.
No he didn’t. He had a go at Wedgie through his Grand-daughter. Using relatives who are not politically active to rag politicos, pace George’s wife, is bad taste.
I see your point, but what about the damage politicians inflict on our children and their future?
Don’t talk shite, she stood for a seat, that she was parachuted into!
“On 12 September 2007, three weeks before her 18th birthday, Benn was selected by the local Labour Party to contest East Worthing and Shoreham in the 2010 general election. Benn was the youngest Labour Parliamentary Candidate at the 2010 General Election.”
The little scrote deserves all the opprobrium heaped upon her.
This is an encouraging sign that madness need not be hereditary. Good luck to her.
To all the Benns, Milibands and Harmans out there I say Fuck your privilege .
Nothing wrong with taking a pop at a family using the very levers of privilege to advance their own issue when their vile politics are aimed at stopping everyone else having access to them.
New Labour, Old Labour, same old double standards.
Feck off, money still talks!
people will do anything for money even write for the daily star so I hear
+1
…And be a Donkey.
Is she another one of Neo-Guidos conquests?
Does she do a turn? If so number please. Boaz.
Neo-Guido may engage in tittle-tattle, gossip and rumours about Westminster’s Mother of Parliaments, but I have never known him to be a kiss-and-tell cad; ask her.
She is a go-er apparently. She will be quite popular as the only woman on the Macro Equity sales and trading team…
You be austere if you want to. The lady’s not for austerity.
Could someone remind him that the Nation’s finances are in such a dire state because of him and Ed Balls ??
The Reign of Terror 1997-2010.
The Reign of Terror 1997-……
Nothing has changed.
Quite
What? The granddaughter of the Vicount of Stanhope did not get a seat from the women only safe seat shortlist! Harriet Harman you have failed your constituents!
Quite amusing that she acknowledges all that went before couldn’t be classified as work; she’s right on that front!
FOR SHAME!

Remind me, Armitage. where did I see that name?
What really would be nice if she could bankcrupt that daft old twat
Poor Tony will be heartbroken!
I am familiar with the bank shall we say. They have long hired people with famous names.
She might be the black sheep of the family i.e. not a hypocrite .
The first honest benn? nah, can’t be.
Wot ? No nepotistic sinecure ?
Pull the other one.
I wouldn’t mind making a deposit in her vault.
“this government of millionaires” And just how much does Tony Benn have in his “Piggy Bank”?
Going after his grandaughter? Classy.
She stood in the 2010 election as the Labour candidate for East Worthing and Shoreham.
She’s fair game.
Yup – she’s a legitimate target

What was she doing in a Conservative held seat. The women only shortlist was brought in for a reason.
FOR SHAME!

Class was precisely the point.
Anyone who joins a political party at the age of 14 is a robot and deserves a thorough kicking.
or a thorough fucking
Do both – kick her back doors in.
Didn’t some Norwegian take that to its logical conclusion not too long ago?
Really, you compare the verbal taunting of a member of the socialist elite on the internet, to the actions of a mad serial killer? What colour is the sky in your world?

We should all continue to insult her grandfather by calling him by his real name – Anthony Wedgwood Benn.
The Right Honourable Neil Anthony Wedgwood Benn formerly Viscount Stansgate, if you please !
Sounds like he’s a toff, must be a Torie who builds expensive planes for the poor people to fly back and forth to New York on their shopping and business trips, or is he a socialist?
I also closed more coal mines than Maggie Thatcher, tossing hundreds of thousands into poverty, yet none recall that……
Wow attacking someone’s granddaughter. Even a snake would struggle to go that low.
Not a bit of it.
The grand daughter in question has stood for parliament and is a dyed in the wool socialist hypocrite. Given the misery inflicted on the world in the name of that poisonous creed, she deserves all she gets.
same could be said for most of the tory party
That they are socialist or closet socialist? I think we can all gather that knobhead. Fabian Dave gives the game away rather.
A trouser snake would fit in that low because as a woman she desrved a safe Labour seat from the all woman shortlist.
FOR SHAME!

That Hilary Benn is a weirdo. Labour’s front bench have strange voices – Miliband, Reeves, Benn etc.
Looks like he’s been photoshopped in there. I thought he usually travelled around in a donor’s Rolls Royce ?
Why on earth did she think she was ‘female window-dressing’ ? She looks a right old munter without the soft TV studio lighting.
It’s not me, that’s for sure! (Though I’m sure they’re all lovely ladies…)
Maybe some publicity for David cameron’s own views will shore up the vote

Hard to maintain that Lansley messed up NHS refoorm when he was saying this 10 years ago:
We want hospitals to set their own pay, decide their own IT, own their own land and borrow their own money.
The man from down under told us how the centre right had made healthcare their own issue by reforming the national system and extending private health insurance to cover 45% of the population
He even mentions this survey:
The suicide rate increases under Conservative governments, research suggests.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2263690.stm
No wonder Whittingdale wants to shut down social media!
The Labour Party had 13 years to construct a NHS you should have been proud of, but they didn’t. Mao, Stalin, Brezhnev, Blair, Mandelson & Brown all spent on borrowed money, lvide lavishly and lined their own pockets at the expense of the very people they were supposed to be serving.
Now you are moaning the the Tories have been forced to make cuts and fix the economy because as Labour Treasury chief secretary Liam Byrne told his successor, ‘I’m afraid to tell you there’s no money left’.
YES – THE NHS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS ABOUT MONEY
If money was no object. it would be lovely to have endless drugs for the sick and lots of lovely new flats for the dispossessed of Darfur, but it is not and we don’t.
I truly sympathise with tour condition and I wish you as good health as is possible in the future, but the UK is currently spending £450 million a day more than it earns.
As you say, you have no assets, so who is going to pay for all the NHS you desire?
You will have to face the fact that every socialist administration in history has run out of money and made the poor poorer.
The increasing suicide rate under conservative governments probably from having to face up to reality after the debt fuelled illusion of the “end of boom and bust” under socialist leaders.
MacDonald, Attlee, Willson/Callahan, Blair/Brown, all ended in economic disaster
Socialists make the poor poorer.
Shouldn’t she have kept the family name? Emily Wedgewood-Benn has so much more gravitas especially if one is working in corporate finance.
Emelia would be even better.
The Benn clan, are all in this together
also:
“40 minutes ago: “Bank of England warning we don’t save enough. BoE base rate is 0.5%. Could this be a related fact?” “”
funniest twitter comment for a while……. save so the Gov’t can steal it in your old age.. yeah…right
Which “we” are the Bank of England referring to, couldn’t possibly be themselves of course.
Well at least she has not gone into politics (for now) a blessing surely.
Remarkable though is it not how high Socialist values so easily transmute in to Capitalism following a brief slurp on the teat of plenty…
(please no low rent remarks about sucking on Emily’s teat, not before my morning bowl of gruel…thank you)
Tony always liked a good suck on a pipe of ready rubbed old shag.
They need to experience Capitalism and discover its wickedness so they can plot
how to ban it for the rest of us.

Noticed that the biased Red Channel yesterday only mentioned Maude’s general anger but ignored the details of the four Guido’s Iffy Liebour donors mentioned by Maude; they gave retardED more coverage of his rantings. FFS!!
They gave Ed airtime to wail on about the Tories doing their own investigation, but somehow didn’t have time for Maude’s reminder that was exactly how Labour handled their own inquiry.
Oh, but it is buried away on their website, so they aren’t being impartial at all.

Only Ed spoke in the Commons yesterday. He was making a statement.
Yes – we all need lessons on Trot humility by relatives of 2nd Viscount Stansgate, Anthony Wedgwood Benn – who renounced the peerage to stay an MP – that’s like giving up being a rapist to concentrate on your catamites!
And what a wonderful world of education we have seen since his reforms of the school system that he had the privilege of enjoying and then destroying.
Still, nice to know that he has downsized to a £750,000 flat from the mantion he was living in.
Coke and poke Socialists – dontcha just love em, when sadly you’re not allowed to neck shoot the bastards.
MANSION MANSION MANSION! – must try harder… I can only say in my defence that I was typing so hard I appear to have pushed the damned keyboard through an oak refectory table, and bitten off one of my dentures!!
Don’t mantion it, old chap.
Don’t forget what Benn did when he was Minister of Aviation.
A Benn never gets a job in open competition. The millionaire Tony Benn, who I’m glad top report is now bent, shuffling, broken veined, ill-kempt and on his last legs, probably pulled strings for her.
Have you been spoofed Guido. Your post bears no likeness to emily’s Twitter
http://twitter.com/#!/Emily_Benn
Just for your information anon. Facebook is not Twitter. Two different Social Network products.
Emily Benn seems to have two separate Facebook entries, one as the dutiful Labourer; the other…..well, I’m not her friend and the other Emily Benn (Emsville) is less keen to share her secrets
I assume this is the same one who was going to go into politics at one time. She is hilary’s niece, who not living anywhere near orpington, goes to the grammar school. This was the same bolt hole that Harman sent one of her children too.
The shout on about equality and all that, it’s only lip service for the proles to hear.
give her a break—she can view a council estate from office window
Not in the least desperate.
We hired ‘er aah because aah she had a nice pair and a winning’ow yoou say ahh smile .
Anyway we had to get rid of the bad odour caused by the ” Eboli ” trading scandal — which we all missed.
Hopefully she will lose us a little less tha £ 7 billion .
When is our ex colleague going to decide on a plea by the way .. or is he waiting for a plea …… bargain ??
Have you ever considerd the oldest profession in the world Emily? Im sure you would find it more satisfying than banking
