    Jim Anderton has died. Even though I didn't like his politics I did have some admiration for him and his ability to stick to his principles.

    Me too. His politics didn't concern me but he left a party that was behaving in a manner that he could not in all conscience support. As you say, a man of principle.

    RIP Jim. Maybe now they can demolish the cathedral and build what
    they want which was what the church wanted to do before Anderton
    poked his nose in.
