Never got to meet this gentleman, but there's another piece of my youth gone...

He was a political hero of mine.

We're hopefully going to find that a lot of people share that thinking in the days ahead.

One thing I didn't know about, but learned via the news on Radio One tonight: his role in ending the Doctors' Strike!

Sigh. I'm sorry to hear that.

I hope he's resting in peace now. He had a fulfilling life, from what I read of his biography.

He certainly did, and there's a lot of what he did over the years that I'm grateful for.
