\that you've chosen to be offended by me saying that is a joke. this is the bigotry that existed and was allowed to be used against him at the time to ultimately destroy his chances of winning the election. \I think overall hed have done a good job. he messed up a few issues including the miners strike but ultimately he was a good man. unlike blair and his revolting new age kronies

Wow, no disagreement with you at all there the truth ,I would, had I even been born then,(well, I just was when Neil Kinnock lost the 1992 election), taken Neil Kinnock any day over Tony Blair and his New Labour nonsense.
My Dad says Neil Kinnock and his wife Glenys got despicable attacks from the press, although my Dad was then a lifelong Conservative and wouldn't have supported Labour at that time.
