How sad :(

[lady-janine]

how very sad. he had a lot of demons to fight heard him on desert island discs and he seemed a nice guy. RIP.

[welshtanner]

Very sad.

[mikey4444]

Seemed a nice chap I must say. I always enjoyed his appearances on the TV, especially Have I got News for You. Very effective Liberal Leader....62 MPs in 2005. But he lost his seat a few weeks ago, to the SNP. I wonder if that was a factor in his death ?

[Ric.ror]

Very sad indeed

[anneasquith]

shocking news . rip.

[Bathsheba]

Sad news. RIP Charles.

Rather in poor taste so soon after the news, Gromit.

Gromit

You have sunk to new lows with that remark Gromit, whatever you feel about his politics he seemed a nice fellow.

R.I.P Charles

[anneasquith]

totally unnecessary post.

[anneasquith]

I.E. gromit. ^^^^^^^

[Svejk]

At least Gromit is honest. How many people who have taken the mick out of the man for years will be eulogising today. Was it natural causes, have they said?

[anneasquith]

no they have not ' said' maybe comments re his lifestyle could be postponed a while out of respect to him and his family ?

[maggiebee]

Glad I didn't see Gromit's post. Charles Kennedy seems to have been held in high esteem by his peers whatever demons he had to live with. RIP Charles, hope you are at peace now.

[murraymints]

my personal dealings with the man were always a pleasure ..a gentleman in the true sense...please do not attack him when you did not know him..his public persona was very different to the real man ..we all ALL have habits we would not want to become open to public debate..show some respect at this very sad time...

[whiskeryron]

Nice guy, always spoke sensibly when I have seen him on Questiontime R.I.P

RIP Charles.
