Tony Banks (Lord Stratford) is "gravely ill"

[ratewhore]

bloke was a *****. Probably make a damn sight more sense now than he used to...


...f*ckwit!!

I never liked him much. As a politician, what good did he ever do?

My most vivid memory of him was his face, twisted in hatred and spitting, when he talked about red-coated toffs galloping around the countryside.

He let his class war get in the way of reason, like Prescott, although he wasn't as stupid as Prescott.

The only good thing I've got to say about him is that, unusually for a politician, he was a proper footy man.

I didn't agree with a lot of what he said, but I wouldn't want to wish death on anybody.

At a guess death is the kinder option if you've had that kind of stroke...

I can't argue with that. A merciful release to be sure.
