RIP Charles Kennedy

[modd]

A good man who was unlike most politicians behaved like a normal human being. Opposed rightly the stupid iraq war and made lib dems unlike clegg a election sucess.

He was not right on everything but he was one of good guys of british politics. May he rest in peace.

How's life?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Was he an alkie, m?

Poor chap. 55 is no age really.

[modd]

Delighted with the cup final win. Great times to be supporter and to see us winning again . Was so used to it from 1990 to 2005 that it was frustrating to see us go through those nine years but it was worth it for the good times we are seeing now.

In terms of real life life ok. Would like to do more but trying to stay happy. Have work but still need to do more. Hope to go out and do more things in the summer. I am no longer as young as i was but no excuses. In the end its up to me. Every moment could be our last, so just got to make the most of it.

There are all sorts of veiled suggestions, as is the way in the sort of news interregnum between death and cause of death being known, but they mainly seem to be about him having a clutcher or doing away with himself.

One of the nicest people in politics though, genuinely charming man.

[modd]

that he would have been a even greater leader. 55 is awful age for someone to die. Feel for his family this morning.

[modd]

and he had a good sense of humour. Most important of all he went against the iraq war unlike blair and ian duncan smith.

I mean, is it not the case that gregarious chaps like Kennedy are often over-compensating for something and that their niceness is in effect nothing more than a self-interested defensive mechanism?

[Classic Jorge]

Though he was probably a drunk and a depressive, both were common knowledge.

He seemed to have a genuine affection for people, I've heard many a story about him doing nice things for people and not requiring even thanks, let alone plaudits, for doing it.

[Classic Jorge]

That's why leaders do it. Everything is fine if they can kid themselves there's no blood on their hands.

[Pat Vegas]

I can't even think of any Puns.

[Monty91]

My point is that doing nice things for people could be part of a defence mechanism, rather than being driven by an innate altruism.

If you're being eaten up on the inside and racked with guilt, self-loathing and the like, then what better way to ease your emotional burden than to be ouwardly nice to people?

[Monty91]

Figured she's guess pretty quickly, but having told her he was 55,a Liberal Democrat, ginger and had a drink problem, she still couldn't get it.

Unbelievable, Jeff.

[modd]

blair the chance to go to war with ease knowing nothing can stop them. Despite most of british public being against it, nothing was going to stop blair on his mission. Good guys like robin cook and charles kennedy were few and far between.

Different war, but just as warmongery as Blair. Maybe the guilt of his lies in 99 caught up with him by 03.
