One of the few politicians of today who stood by his principles and had
the integrity to resign his position instead of being one of the self seeking
party sheep.
His foresight of the situation in Iraq has come to fruition.
He will be remembered for his wisdom,
wit and compentency as a Foreign Secretary .
A great parliamentarian who used his words wisely.
A sad loss to the nation.

I did not agree with everything he wanted to do, but I did respect the Man for standing by his principles over Iraq, and lets face it, he was proved to be right.

Further, 59 is no age for anyone to die....

never a labour man and never will be, but i can respect a man who has principles and stands up for them, when the rest of the crowd are baying for his blood. He showed more honesty and integrity in one week then the rest of this shower of **** have in the past 8 years.

sleep well
