Ah, Fairfax/Nine lovechild. Funny, but every S Effriken I’ve met in Oz has run away from Rhodes paradise in fear of their lives.
Actually I haven’t read the article cos I ain’t paying for that ****.
Tutu was a jovial, dignified figure who most people liked.
My impression of him was always that there wasn’t much substance to the media-amenable persona, however.
Once asked where he stood on politics, he said he was a socialist and proceeded to denounce capitalism (which is to say, markets).
Prominent advocates of communism should never be lightly excused.
The Reagan “so-so” story was told by George H.W. Bush at Reagan’s funeral, by the way. Got a big laugh.
He ticked the progressive boxes but seemed like a genuinely good man nonetheless. May he rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon him. But I still can’t help giggling when I recall Bruce Ruxton called him “that bloody witchdoctor” on tv.
Pity about the anti semitism
