    Sad news indeed. One of the greatest and most influential human beings of the 20th century if not all time.

    What a great man. You don't need to have studied him, you just need to watch him and listen. He carried himself immaculately.

    Great men are pretty rare but great political men are even rarer. A sad loss to us all.

    “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

    No country for old men.

    I had a really good German friend for a year while in university in Nottingham. I watched his release from Jail in Ditmar's house, it was such a powerful experience. RIP.

    Ed Miliband said on 5live this morning that armed opposition to the apartheid regime was justified.
