    I could listen to Tony all day. Saw him briefly at the Leftfield tent at Glastonbury last summer.

    True socialist who fought for the people and against corporate domination. Not enough of his like about.

    RIP Tony

    I didn't agree with his politics but I had an admiration for his principles especially considering he came from a very privileged background. RIP Tony.

    As far from working class as you can get, he was an aristocrat.

    The politician he most reminds me of is Mosley, another aristo who represented the Labour Party and allegedly spoke for the working classes, was a good speaker before moving to the extreme, right in one case, left the other
