"JAFP - just another politician"

Not so, guest, Roger. He was a politician amongst cringing, snivelling, arse-lickers and time-servers.

I disagreed with him on just about every subject except the EU, which he hated and despised, as I do.

He was my constituency MP, and could then often be found in Chesterfield market place on a Saturday morning ready to be approached by anybody.

As others have said, we are impoverished by his death, and shall not see his like again.
