If you have about half an hour to spare, this interview is well worth a listen. There aren’t many around like him now who can remember living through the Second World War and you can tell his philosophy through life was formed in the immediate aftermath of the war. I found him very persuasive when he talked about what was needed to be done after the conflict and I always go back to how the generation that lived through the war were the second biggest supporters of Remain in the Referendum after the younger generation.

I’d never vote for the party he represented in Parliament, but I think he’s an impressive man in many ways.
