He was an honest man who said it like it was. I admired him regardless of his politics.

It is true that he will be missed.

Dieticians will tell us he would have lived until he was one hundred and twenty-eight if he had maintained a healthy BMI.

That rumour was going around for a long time, way before the Internet.

Childhood kidney disease was reason for his 28 stone and 75" waist. Certainly did well to reach 82.
