Unhappy Jim Callahan dead!

Great Statesman ..... you kiddies will not remember him

Shame, on the eve of his Birthday and 11 days after the death of his wife!

RIP

Pete

Conservative peer Lord Heseltine said that despite their political differences, he and Lord Callaghan became friends.

"You don't get to the premiership unless you have a streak of determination," he said.

"But I saw the other side of Jim Callaghan, he became a personal friend in a way, and my family and I were very fond of him."

Well Said Sir!

Unhappy

When I graduated he was at the award ceremony & gave me my degree.

I always respected him as a politician & a gentlemmen. I don't think any politician these days would get that respect.

Slightly unfair, a more accurate description would be that he was at the point where the buck stopped when his predecessor's policies came home to roost.
His one big error was letting the idiot Hattersley and his NUT cronies get their hands one our once vaunted education system

RIP Not a great man, but a good man none the less.

I actually care about the news of his death and am not in any way ashamed to say so.

He was one of those rare honest and decent politicians who did the job for altruistic reasons unlike the present examples we have to put up with.

wholly responsible for the goddawful winter of discontent; a union movement totally out of control; and appointed a chancellor, denis healey, who presided over the near bankruptcy of the UK i think you'll find.

yes, a truly great statesman and skilled, economically-literate prime minister.
