Yep very young and terrible for his family. Whilst i'm absolutely no Lib Dem fan and find most politicians dislikeable he was one that I never disliked and Would listen to what he had to say even if I didn't agree with it. He was one of few politicians who came across to me as a normal person, or to put it another way he was in touch with reality unlike most politicians.

Just reading all the tributes from other politicians .... always reminds me of this.... hypocrites!

R.I.P. It's rare you get the opp. to put politician and decent human being in the same sentence. Just 55 - terrible. RIP |
Shame, I actually quite liked him as a politician.

Genuinely came across as a nice bloke. His calm demeanour and assured delivery without badmouthing others was a rare trait in modern politics. RIP.

I was very sorry to hear this as he was genuinely a chap you felt was being honest. So the booze got to him and I guess losing his seat didn't help. I thought he had cracked it but clearly not. I still recall Paxman mauling him about his drinking back in 2002 (it's on You Tube but bad taste to post it here).
I hope his family get some comfort from all the kind words said about him. R.I.P Charles Kennedy dl |
One of the few politicians to have the courage to object to the invasion of Iraq -- turns out the was right, looking at the state of it now.....
RIP |
