    'I'm a libertarian socialist. I believe that socialism is the best way to get freedom for individuals.' And by socialism he DOESN'T mean Marxism-Leninism.

    "He was the fifth of seven foot children" I had to do a double take, as I imagined him a member of an extremely tall family.

    Foot's candor and common sense at 1:58 almost made me cry. Although I disagree with him in many issues, at that very fundamental level, he is the SANE man. We need some of this kind of sanity nowadays.

    Anybody can think he was right or not, but there's a thing that is true: he was a honest man.

    Always with the 'Donkey Jacket' what a shameful epitaph for a genuine political heavyweight. He's right absurd.

    He could have been a brilliant stand-up comic. His delivery was spot on.

      Hey, it is Irving Berlin's "The Old Man" with some of the lyrics changed to fit Michael Foot :)

    I never liked the man when he was alive and disagreed with just about everything he ever said, in fact I dread to think what state this country would be in had he become PM, however, I've always had the greatest respect for people who stand by their principles, something which is sadly lacking in today's Labour. The only one left now is Skinner and although I thinks he is nothing but an ignorant s**t at least he is consistent even if his principles aren't up to much.!
