Percival King Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Given folk on JKB can argue and get heated about the collar on a new Hearts top, it's going to be pretty much impossible to get a politician that doesn't get criticised (slaughtered) for some of their views and actions on a multitude of issues by some of the people. I'm absolutely no fan of politicians, from the council through to our two governments, a lot of them are contemptible, unpleasant people but Darling, to me, seemed one of the better ones.

132goals1958 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Maybe it’s an age thing and we live in different times but is there any need for the disrespectful comments. Surely when a family loses a loved one political persuasions are irrelevant. Most of the tributes across the spectrum reflect that he was a decent human being.

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 A sad loss to politics and his family. A political giant compared to the pygmies we have to suffer now, in Westminster and especially in the SNP led government in Scotland. The bitterness shown by the rabid nationalists (or some of them) shows the quality of what he promised and delivered. They would dump Humza in a second to have someone like Darling at the front of their ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
