He was OK



[Former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell
has died at the age of 84.

Sir Menzies, or Ming as he was widely known,
led the Liberal Democrats from 2006 to 2007
and was the MP for North East Fife
at Westminster for 28 years.

In his first career as a sprinter,
he held the UK 100m record from 1967 to 1974
and ran in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - being dubbed
The Flying Scotsman.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey described Sir Menzies
as "a dedicated public servant and
a true Liberal giant".

He said: "His principled leadership opposing
the Iraq War was a mark of his morality,
courage and wisdom.

"But more than that, he was an incredibly warm
and caring friend and colleague.
We will miss him terribly."]

A good man RIP

I was sorry to hear this. I didn't share his politics but I did have respect for him.

Definitely one of the good ones, he sadly got the leadership of his Party way too late.
Very commendable as a politician.
