OUTSPOKEN politician Tony Benn (pictured) still draws the crowds!
His visit to Huddersfield next month is a complete sell-out. All 275 tickets for this year’s Harold Wilson Lecture at the University of Huddersfield were snapped up within hours of the Examiner announcing that firebrand Benn was the speaker on April 14.
University spokesman John Ramsdin said: “We were inundated with requests and it is a shame we cannot let more people come for the lecture.”
