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.

He was also voted one of britains most sexiest men

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"?
