RIP Michael Foot

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

A decent, honest, principled man. Sadly missed.

A good man. Not many of them left in British politics. R.I.P.

They certainly won't be making them like that anymore in Dave Cameron's Britain, where good PR will count for more than brains :( RIP.

I'd say pray for a hung parliament, but that's probably going to be just as bad.

Dark times are upon us. :(

Well, if Leeds City Council is anything to go by, (Liberal/ Tory coalition), you're not far wrong. :|
