I always used to enjoy listening to her on Any Questions. A feisty lady, of which we need more.

RIP Margo

[anneasquith]

obviously we will never know, nor is it our business, but in light of margo macdonalds fight on behalf of ' assisted suicide bill' in the Scottish parliament I hope she had a pain free peaceful death.

I wasn't a fan of her nationalist politics but I admired the woman, she was a champion of the people, who fought for what she felt was right whether it was popular or not, she was a common sense politician of whom there are far too few these days. She will be missed
