Jon Gaunt......
A man not afraid to speak his mind, which is usually right anyway.
So afraid of him that Question time lost their bottle, but still got Griffin on there.
Will wait for the inevitable.............here it comes.

Here goes this should lower the tone,
Harry Flashman
Flashman (1822–1915)Brigadier-General Sir Harry Paget Flashman is a fictional character created by author George MacDonald Fraser, based on the notorious bully 'Flashman' from 'Tom Brown's Schooldays' by Thomas Hughes. It follows on from Flashmans expulsion from Rugby School. Enlisting in the British Army he cuts a swath through the Victorian wars and uproars (and the boudoirs and harems) of the 19th century. Though Flashman constantly runs from danger, betrays or abandons acquaintances at the slightest incentive, bullies and beats servants with gusto, beds every available woman, carries off any loot he can grab and gambles and boozes enthusiastically, he arrives inevitably at the end of each volume with medals, the praise of the mighty, and the love of one or more beautiful women. By his own unapologetic self-description he is - "a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward—and oh yes, a toady.
This guy is so low on the scum scale he as to be good

It's taken me a little while to post on this thread as one of my heroes is both revered and hated across the world in equal measure, so there will probably be a similar split on here.
So, my hero is none other than Ernesto "Che" Guevara, revolutionary, guerrilla leader, doctor, author, intellectual, diplomat and to me probably one of the most important and controversial figures of the 20th century.
El Che, was a highly inspirational and controversial figure. He is seen by his followers as a charismatic, decent human being. A brave man who led people not only by using lofty ideals but, by resorting to lead people by example. However, aside from all this El Che was also, just like all of us, a flawed human being. He was stubborn, arrogant and to a certain extend a bit self deluded. Not in his capacity to lead and inspire people but in his passionate and unwavering belief that Socialism would unite all the disadvantaged people's of the world and on his mission to eradicate social injustice.
It was his arrogance and stubbornness that, in my opinion, during his last campaign in Bolivia caused him to antagonise the Bolivian Communist Party (whose support he needed to start another revolution) that left him and his troupe isolated which ultimately resulted in his demise.
As a boy growing up in Latin America I saw El Che as a Hero who stood up against American imperialism and left a lasting legacy to this day.

Quote by
Alfred The Great
he was pushed into the marshes of Somerset but never gave up. He inspired his people and returned to set the bases of what would become a united Britain. He set-up defences for the people, Universities to educate, England was the most educated land in Europe for the next two hundred years. He set in place laws and reinterpreted older Roman Law.
Even the Normans who burned the books and planted castles to enslave the people could not destroy everything.
Alfred, defender and scholar he was my hero.
