Michael Foot - that rarest of beings, an honest and principled politician. Didn't agree with his politics, but you knew where you stood with him, and he was true to his ideals, even when it became clear that he was ploughing a lone furrow. Compare that with today's lot whose policies are more shaped by what they think will be popular rather than what they believe in or know to be right. One of a kind, I rather think.
