Very sad. A politican who help Northern Ireland and Britain as a whole, who was a lively character and has left a mark on my country. Such so that she is probably the only Northern Ireland Secretary that we can name.

EDIT: her affect on Northern Ireland

Sad indeed! An extremely bright and brilliant politian, one with a big heart and strong convictions as well. Her and Cook in one week. :help:

Reading the BBC's readers tributes on their home page.I was struck by how many wrote that Mo Mowlam was one of the few politicians that they believed spoke the truth ;as she saw it .
I was also struck by her down to earth way of doing things .
I respected Robin Cook ,and thought him one of the best speakers on the floor ,but Mo Mowlam was the one I actually liked .
She made ,I feel a truly great contribution to peace in northern Ireland .
Sad times.

A real shame, double blow, what with Cook going a couple of weeks ago. Such a shame. :embarassed:

Someone is killing off all of Britain's semi-good politicians. :(
