Sad news,but as already pointed out a good innings.
What I liked about him was his honesty,he could have changed,covered up his beliefs,and got a lot furthur in politics as a result.The fact that he didn't only goes in his favor as a man.
Tony Blair & co could have learnt a lot about honesty from him,we'd never have invaded Iraq had he have been pm. |

Another politician and one of the brainiest in Parliament ever-Enoch Powell. Sometimes the best are side-lined. |

The only thing I liked about Michael Foot was his spitting Image puppet.
96 was a good age. I wonder what he thought of New Labour? |

A great politician and a real individual. He loved Montaigne, too, which is always a fine sign. |

another Labour hero to me.
The reason he didn't get into power was the apalling right wing media hatchet jobs that were never ending.
Who forget the infamus Cenotaph photos of him in a shabby coat and the hysteria as though it was some sort of insult to the dead..total crap. And it was never ending. |
