About sums it up for me too.

I was shocked.

Shame.

Oh Noes

Shame, I respected him in a way I did few politicians.

It's odd, he's one of those guys where it makes you feel sad, but it feels like he wasn't a big enough figure in your life/perception to justify it.
And by yours of course I mean mine.

It's worse for him though.

Oh, you're so getting tk'd.

EDIT: Doh, it'll have to wait now, so long.

So I guess morals and conscience don't play a big part in indie lo-fi world.

Oh yeah, weep, etc.

Not being heartless. I understand why he left the Government, but there's not a lot he can do from the outside. If he was so opposed he could have kept his job and campaigned and still had his job now, instead of spending his days walking - which it now turns out is really bad for you.

Yeah, just got food on the go, should be ready by 10ish

CS?

When Cook resigned, he was ridiculed in the press by Campbell etc.
Now he's dead, everybody loves him. What a shock.

He acted with dignity and honour in his handling of the Iraq invasion, and for that alone he got my respect.

Talk about random.

I couldn't believe it.
