"He was an honest man who found himself in a rapidly changing politically world where image is more important than principle."

Ah!  Those were the days.

I never really appreciated the bloke but when you look back, many were honourable and worth a listening ear.

May he RIP.

From the long-lost days when politicians 'served' (others, not themselves) and held fundamental beliefs.
Irrespective of whatever political colour you favour; he was a true statesman.

A man of integrity and principle, a very rare thing in todays world. I fear we may never have people with these attributes at the forefront of politics again. :(

cant but agree with all you guys have said. Sadly seems that many of Mr Foot's attributes are not in favour with any of todays politcal parties :(

A true Socialist, Michael Foot saw the Labour party through its worst years, and he always stuck to his principles.

Tony Benn was on today waxing lyrical about MF. I used to think Benn was a good socialist until he named his lad Hilary. :o
