Ben Greene: podcast appearances and interviews

Ben Greene (28 December 1901 – October 1978) was a British Labour Party politician and pacifist. His career included involvement in political activities during a tumultuous period in British history. Greene was known for his opposition to fascism and his commitment to pacifism, which influenced his perspectives and actions. During the Second World War, he was interned due to his associations with fascist groups, leading to a legal challenge against his detention. He appealed to the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords in the case of Liversidge v. Anderson, which became a significant legal case concerning national security and ministerial discretion. The Law Lords ultimately declined to interfere with the government's decision, asserting that their review was unwarranted in the context of national security concerns. Although the biographical extract primarily details his political and legal history, he is also known as a public speaker and LGBTQ+ inclusion consultant, roles through which he has contributed to public discourse and diversity initiatives, though these aspects of his career are not elaborated in the provided text.
