      while i didn't think much of his politics, he was an honest and decent man. 59 is no age these days either

        Like COcney has said, he seemed a genuine and honourable man.

          I'm very sad. Cook was a great diplomat and honourable politician.

              He was helped in that stance by the fact that nobody liked him. Even those who actually agreed with him. He was famously unpopular on a personal level.

                  But overall i will always think of him as being a true supporter of democracy, and like Tony Benn; even if i dont always agree with him - i found he was one of the few politicians who didn't play party politics for the sake of it, he was lead by a sense of doing the right thing.

                  Damn 59 is way too young.

                    You've seen his picture, right?

                    Ever heard of the quaint old parochial British custom called "taking the piss"?
