So farewell then!
There aren't many statesmen left. For my younger readers, Foot was one of the old fashioned politicians who could think on the hoof. Alas! It's all image, appearance, and fluffy inoffensive stuff now.

Agree.

Oh for some real personalities and thinkers like that in Parliament again, instead of the plastic population we've got now.

Didn't he get a lot of stick once for wearing something similar to a Remembrance Sunday thing at the cenataph? I remember his being caught asleep in the House of Commons, practically horizontal on the seats.

I think I can actually just remember the outrage in the newspapers at the time. Things haven't really changed that much: compare with the story of Gordon not nodding at the cenotaph recently etc.

Wikipedia: "Foot was an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society and a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association".

He can't have been all bad then even if he was Old Labour!
