Michael Foot Ex UK Labour party Leader died today

The last of the true British socilalists , a man of and for the people , A very misunderstood person and IMO a true gentleman

I dont suppose this will have any impact on the Cy Prob or any future decisions in world politics but to me it is the passing of a generation of our last real politician as opposed to the nancy boys in the uk now

RIP Michael

I'm with you RB and wondered about paying tribute to him, too. A true scholar and intellectual, despite being a politician.

And, I always wanted a raincoat just like his .... :(

Sadly a man whose public image and final years in politics were heavily and negatively caricatured by Rupert Murdoch's News International.
