Michael Foot RIP

Obviously I totally disagreed with the late Michael Foot on a great many things.

But he was an outstanding parliamentarian and a politician of huge integrity.

His death should be marked not by scoring political points, on either side, but by remembering a warm, genuine, and very sincere human being.

Rest in Peace

I agree entirely Michael Foot was a Great Parliamentarian of immense integrity. A sincere and gifted speaker with genuine convictions and a commitment to improving the general condition of humanity. His approach whilst passionate was always respectful and un-dogmatic towards those with whom he disagreed, enhancing the level of debate.

Michael Foot possessed a great mind and was someone I always respected intellectually.

His personable nature and humanity can and should be appreciated by any political persuasion.

May he rest in peace.

it's this "immense integrity" and "sincere" and "genuine convictions" that are sorely lacking in the vast majority of todays politicians.
