Never been terribly good at this sort of thing but I’m greatly saddened to hear that Captain Ranty has passed away. His was one of the first blogs I started reading regularly when I found myself stumbling into reading political blogs, I may not have always agreed with him but his arguments were always worth reading. I remember on a few occasions being one of many encouraging him not to give up blogging and was always glad when he returned to writing, and I was always glad when he dropped in her to leave the odd comment.
It was just the other week that plans were being hatched to meet up for a drink and mischief – sadly that now can never happen. Though I shall be sure to have the odd drink and cause mischief anyway. Freedom 2 choose and Leg Iron have far more eloquent words to say about the Captain than I do.
But here’s to you Captain Ranty the world is a poorer place without you in it.
