No question about demented. But the other night when I saw him on TV he was boasting about his Iraqi art collection!
Well under normal circumstances I might agree Benn was bribed - but he is a very rich man who lives in Holland Park. Anything the Iraqis would offer would be miniscule in comparison, particularly a deal like this. Benn loses more than £375,000 out of his pocket when he goes to buy the Guardian.
