Paddy Ashdown

[Capetonian]

A decent politician, if that is not an oxymoron, has left us, at the age of 77.

I always admired him for his straightforward and honest way of speaking..

[Cacophonix]

Oh that is so sad to hear.

A soldier, not perfect, but a man, pants up or down.

A decent, decent man...

Sad to hear that. Probably the only politician in recent years I had any time for. He called it as it was, whether that was popular or not. A good man.
