I admired him for speaking about what he believed in, although I didn't agree with him. He is also the main reason why labour didn't get into power for 18 years, as Labour reached an all-time low in popularity under him.

Bruce Kent (who I meet often at prison reform meetings) said all Foot wanted to talk about 18 months ago was Jonathan Swift. Being a huge Swift fan, I'm on his side. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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.

A great politician and a real individual. He loved Montaigne, too, which is always a fine sign. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Michael Foot would have abhored New Labour

a good piece here that I agree with..on why Michael Foot would have been a great PM :

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

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.
