Chris Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4127654.stmShame, I had a lot of respect for the way he conducted himself during and after the war in Iraq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 that's a real shame, one of the few voices of reason during the war and his arguments were always well thought out and logical. he didn't always come off as the nicest of guys but he'll be missed as a guy who had principles and stood up for what he thought mattered.

Afro Droid Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Clare Short deserves everything she gets, she the world's most terrible politician. She certainly doesn't have the courage of her convictions. I hate her, she's the epitome of sell-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well Blair plans to have talking about terrorism outlawed, so maybe she won't be able to help herself and end up as the lezzer leader-momma in some woman's prison.EDIT: Replying to Frosty /\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 If the world was a "Hog world", Robin Cook would of been Prime Minister with Tony Benn as Chancellor.It is a truly sad day. I had a lot of respect for Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvin Starclusk Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 he'll be missed as a guy who had principlesYeah. I'm sure his ex-wife agrees:"with Mr Cook revealing an affair with his secretary to his wife Margaret as they prepared to head off on holiday " (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/2856293.stm)As politicians go, he wasn't bad, and I fully agreed with his stance and subsequent actions over the Iraq war, but he was *far* from squeaky clean in either his politics or personal affairs.
