I didn't always agree with what he wrote, but he was thought-provoking and never lost his political edge, thinking of the piece he wrote about riots in the North of England in the summer of 2001. And big respect due for challenges to homophobia, like the Happy Mondays cover piece towards the wnd of 1991.
