    I know he had demons. Very sad .

    Certainly a man who stood by his principles.

    RIP.

    A politician whose integrity was in the credit column.

    Rare.

    I admit that the news of Charles Kennedy's demise surprised me in some ways but not in others. He was a principled politician but his battle against alcoholism terminated his career prematurely. Westminster was the poorer when he lost his seat at the general election. Now the country is the poorer.

    He seemed a good bloke, he was always a good laugh when he appeared on HIGNFY among other things.

    A shocker - Champagne Charlie or chat-show Charlie he may have been, and I didn't agree with many of his policies, but he always had valid points to make and believed in what he stood for. A real loss to the political and public life of the country.

    Seems he may have topped himself. Motive: Depression - recent loss of his father and then his parliamentary seat.

    RIP.

    He always seemed one of the good ones, and his flaws made him more human. I hope it wasn't suicide, that would be truly sad.
