Bob Crow

A real working class hero. I find this news quite shocking, he was so young.

Very sad news, for his family and for his union. He was a very effective union leader who did his very best for the members.

He was confrontational, but stuck to his principles unlike many members of the political spectrum, so I had a sneaking admiration for him. He also had quite a sense of humour, heard him on a few Radio 4 political discussion shows, and on I am Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and he struck me as quite a genuine man.

I didn't like the man too much, but that is sad. He did rather appear to be a heart-attack waiting to happen, but perhaps he had some other life threatening problem which is why he took his recently much criticised holiday in S. America?
