WHERE were you on the night colourful Sir Robin Day died?

It is probably not going to be the same kind of question as: where were you on the night of Kennedy's assassination?

But I am in no doubt that Sir Robin's untimely death must have sent shivers of despair down many an individual's spine.

I do know that I, for one, was extremely shaken by the announcement.

I find so many media broadcasters out of touch with the world and interviewing negatively.

This does nothing to encourage ordinary people to take an interest in politics.

Special thanks, then, to Sir Robin for his inspirational and hard-hitting career making us young 'uns less afraid of looking more closely into current affairs, and possibly having a go at the great political game.
