Poor bugger. Though I found his politics quite suspect I also enjoyed much of his writings.

At best, his political thoughts were a very mixed 'bag'.....on some issues I agreed with him; on others we were at opposite ends - this is not too usual. Further, his ideas, ideals and values changed over time. To his credit, he never turned away from a good argument and forcefully expressing his own. He was a bit of an icon, whether good or ill. They are all from my generation slipping away, one by one.
