Over his thoughts of "workers control industry"
From memory Benn got the idea after he visted the Triumph factory which was a workers co op and funded by the tax payer, Wilson was reported to have said that Benn had gone insane.

Re: Question
I think there was definitely a clash of personalities between Harold Wilson and Tony Benn Galty, but in my eyes you don't always have to agree and follow your leader. There is nothing wrong in challenging if you believe it is the right thing to do. I honestly believe that Tony Benn was a genuine and honest politician - perhaps that was his handicap.|
