Not only was Hume instrumental in getting Sinn Fein to sit down and negotiate, but he knew what he did almost certainly cost his SDLP party votes and seats. Not enough principled politicians around like that, across the board.
Been suffering with dementia for a fair few years now, the poor sod.

I saw lots about it.never heard of the bloke so why would It be so newsworthy over here.
He also played Andrew Manson in the excellent 1980s dramatisation of AJ Cronin's "The Citadel", which has been credited with having some influence on the creation of the NHS.

Poor Victor.
I recall one story when he was a bit younger, and he walked into a bar.
Victor asked the bartender for "gin and.......... tonic". "Of course," said the bartender, "but what's up with the pause?"
Victor just held up his paws and said "I dont know, I was just born with them!"
Again! FFS this is so suspicious. Why is no-one investigating.

David Bryant, former Bowls world champion, dies at 88.
About the first bowls player I ever recognised, with his iconic pipe in mouth, think he still used to keep the pipe despite not being allowed to light it while playing.
RIP
