Mo Mowlam dies age 55

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.

Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech
Re: Mo Mowlam dies age 55
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.
That's it.

A real shame, double blow, what with Cook going a couple of weeks ago. Such a shame.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Someone is killing off all of Britain's semi-good politicians. :(
Re: Mo Mowlam dies age 55
Another REAL LABOUR MP gone. It's a sad day for Britain and the world.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
