It has been a tough week for the Far Left of the political spectrum these week, with the premature demise of Bob Crowe and the natural passing of Tony Benn, one of the great political heavyweights of Britain in the 20th century and a fantastic writer, orator and campaigner in the 21st century, right up until his passing.
