He was pro-Europe and probably too tolerant of illegal immigration.

[@gingersnaps2114]

All that stuff that was said at the beginning in 1983 actually happened! Except when he said "you'll be appearing on here for the next 50 years, which is really sad. One of the best ever characters in British politics, and because when I heard on the news on June 2nd about his death, it was so sudden and shocking that it hasn't actually sunk in just how sad this really is. Have nothing but the upmost respect for Charles, and not just because I support the liberal democrats. It wouldn't matter which party he belonged to, he'd still be a great politician. I really feel for his son Donald, right now, he's only 10 years old, bless him. :'(

The saddest loss of 2015. I'm not ashamed to say I shed tears on June 2nd when the news of Charles's death broke. RIP Charles.

As a socialist, I absolutely loved this man. Best leader the Lib Dems ever had. He was thrown under the bus. Such a principled man.💛

[@grimawormtongue1949]

A great politician. It surprises me how strong the feeling is in Scotland, particularly amongst SNP supporters, that Scotland is somehow shut-out from Westminster politics, or not represented by it. My God, how prominently and numerously have the Scots been represented at the very top of Westminster politics - and respected widely for it!

[@mattbod]

Very true and I think a lot of it was down to their Christian upbringing. Charles Kennedy and John Smith are two standouts tragically leaving us in their prime.It’s sad those values seem to be leaving Scotland.

[@catmacaulay8467]

An incredible speaker. Honest from the heart. A truely wonderful politician. Rest in peace :(

[@RossHamMil]

wow. those predictions at the beginning. he predicted a liberal coalition and that kennedy would become party leader

[@paulgrahamedwardspencer5161]

Still hard too take in such a genuine man

[@smistonian2499]

"Labour opportunism on Europe will come back to bite them" - He was right in his prediction

[@tomhamilton5261]

An intelligent articulate man who had the courage of his convictions. Sadly missed but not forgotten.

[@Sou1defiler]

1.18. "Don't fucking interrupt me Dimbleby. But I accept your challenge. Now listen..."

[@takemyhat]

That first bit is perfect.

[@jeansmith3367]

The voice of reason and could defend his argument really well- we really could do with him now x RIP

[@paleo704]

And he did all that while soused.

[@mattbod]

One of the very very few true gentlemen of modern British politics. His death was a tragedy.

[@fortiesgal78]

The first birthday without Charles. Happy birthday!

[@andyp8220]

Right on almost all points

[@daledavis768]

RIP Charlie!

[@buzzybeebs]

Bet a gov of nat unity would've happened if Charles was around, he'd of led it.

[@zexal4217]

He makes the likes of Johnson and Corbyn look like charlatans.

[@peacefrog1916]

RIP Charlie.

[@ReegusReever]

Only thing he got wrong was calling it Londonderry

[@animatechap5176]

Here here

[@therespectedlex9794]

They still had one foot in the old days. Like everyone else, back then.

[@ian_b]

3:30 and then it turned out Thatcher was right about that as well.

[@zexal4217]

Ridiculous assertion that Kennedy rightfully dismissed.

[@shanemckenna9416]

We need more rambling drunks on Question Time.

[@grimawormtongue1949]

Are you proud of that comment?
