RIP Jack Ashley
He made a lasting impression on me as a youngster. I always wondered how he could perform as an MP whilst being profoundly deaf.

Re: RIP Jack Ashley
The only politician I have ever had any respect for.A true example of what an MP/Peer should be about.
Serving others.
RIP.

Re: RIP Jack Ashley
He was a great man for disabled people and their rights and will be sadly missed.
RIP Jack

Re: RIP Jack Ashley
He was a very good man, and proof that some MPs are not in it for themselves.

Re: RIP Jack Ashley
I think a special mention should be made for his work in getting compensation for Thalidomide victims
RIP Jack

Re: RIP Jack Ashley
Feel a little ignorant for not knowing of this man whilst he was alive, guess I'm to young, far, far to young 
RIP Jack, the country is better for having had you as part of it.
