Bennite America?

There is much to criticise about Tony Benn, not least his closure, while Energy Secretary, of so many pits that there were not enough left at the end for his record ever to be equalled.

But if the 1979 Election had not intervened, then Benn would have given effect to his scheme to do with Britain's oil revenue what Norway has done with hers, thereby giving herself the highest per capita income in the world. That could have been Britain.

America, take note. And drill, baby, drill.
