andsome Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Mo Mowlam has died. She was quite a character, with more honesty in her little finger than most of todays politicians have in their whole bodies. She will be sadly missed.MO.

andsome Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Another loss of that extemely rare breed - a politician who one could respect, admire and like.I have not voted Labour since my early twenties, having been brought up to believe that they were the right people to vote for. Nevertheless, I have always had the greatest respect for Mo. She actually seemed to CARE. A very rare breed of politician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I have no doubt that Tony's cronies who trashed her reputation in that sordid whispering campaign are all queuing up to add their bit to the eulogy, just falling over themselves to get their nasty two faced mugs on TV. With crocodile tears and Saccharin expressions of insincerity. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 It is possible to disagree with a persons view and yet honour and respect their contribution to society.Quite true, but the manner in which Dr Mowlems political career was blighted by the unattributable anonymous whispering and deeply unfair insinuations about her effectiveness and in particular the brain cancers supposed affect on her abilities must remain one of the most underhand and tacky affairs in recent politics. I regard the matter as distasteful and inexcusable. I feel that if anybody is belittled it isn't me for expressing an opinion on the substandard behaviour of some of Dr Mowlems colleagues, it is they for being such hypocrites.

With crocodile tears and Saccharin expressions of insincerity." I believe you are sad to hear of Mo Mowlam's death, just as I am, and I don't subscribe to the view that others are being insincere in their regrets either, no matter what you may think of their politics. That is why I think you belittle yourself.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't subscribe to the view that others are being insincere in their regrets eitherLet us agree to disagree on this, while there are no doubt many sincerely regretting her passing, my faith in the sincerity of some of those who have made statements is somewhat close to zero.
