Tony Benn has passed away

Moving on from the horrible attention seeking interloper.

 

When you do feel up to it, that final letter is a great read.

 

For years I always feared for a post-Benn world, but the truth is we lost his ilk long, long ago. 

 

I thought I'd be much more upset, but today I just feel happy to have had the man at all.

The news has made me feel a lot more emotional than I thought it would. It has also made me feel a lot more depressed about society.

I'm tempted to feel that way, but the example of Tony Benn is an inspiration and a challenge to always nurture whatever embers of hope, however fading they might seem to be.  Be true to yourself and be true to life.

In other news, I hate all forumites with a Brazilian footballer as their moniker.

I hate all forumites named after shit courier companies.

Calling him a 'politician' demeans him. Just a great humanitarian who happened to work in politics, and who deserves a state funeral

Great sentiment. Dunno how I negged you instead of repping mate, probably due to my arseholed state.

 

Please can someone rectify, if not done before I'll sort out when I'm back in my right mind.

Ha ha. No problem - I was so shitfaced watching the rugby I was probably capable of negging myself.
