He had his personal problems, but always came over as a thoroughly decent honest bloke.

Our MP for 32 years.

Coincidently I was talking to him at his last political meeting just before the election.

A thoroughly decent principled man.

He will be very much missed by all who knew him.

A man who spoke his mind unlike so many of the bland breed we have these days - such a great shame.

A very sad loss.
And the media that made a lot of money pulling his personal life and problems
apart will make a lot more money probing his premature death.
I find that perverse and disgusting.

He was a fine man.   RIP.

We really liked Charlie Kennedy.  He was a very good Politician and a very nice man.  He had his personal problems, which, the press always seem to play on.
He will be missed.   :'(

And you will probably be among the first to read about it. Pious nonsense.

It is my sincerest wish that this thread pays tribute to a fine human being rather than developes into a slagging match between members :(
