Re: Paddy Ashdown

Poor old Paddy, I met him once before the 1979 election when I lived in Somerset.

Re: Paddy Ashdown

This came as a bit of a shock really as l didn’t know he was ill. So sad that it happened so near Christmas too.
RIP. Paddy.

Re: Paddy Ashdown

Just seen this on the news. I do feel for his family as it is so close to Christmas. May he rest in peace.

Re: Paddy Ashdown

I heard him speaking recently he was resigned to his fate, very brave man. Bladder cancer that they didn't discover early enough. RIP Paddy, not my political persuasion but always willing to listen to everyone.

Re: Paddy Ashdown

He was a decent and intelligent human being and a very able politician. The type we don't see much of these days. RIP.

Re: Paddy Ashdown

He was also a very brave man - served in Royal Marines, was an SBS Officer, and did a lot of 'intelligence' work.

I did not always agree with his politics - but - he spoke the truth - and if he said he would do something he did it! Precious few politicians today could live up to that.
