Larger than life Mo

The Right Honourable Dr. Marjorie "Mo" Mowlam (September 18, 1949 - August 19, 2005). She died this morning (I'm guessing near 9am, but the details will no doubt leak out during the day) [UPDATE. time of death 8.10am].

Tributes are trickling out also, however, of all the UK MP's she seemed human and humane. She reminded me of Nanny Ogg ""one of the people" in a way most political people aren't.
