Quite, right, Eric, his Euro-scepticism made him an odd man out with most left-wing socialists who are solidly pro-EU. However, I still find it ironic that he's now being praised, when the very views he supported on immigration, law and order and other subjects would see your average punter called everything under the sun from a do-gooder to much worse on here!
