Tim Holding is one of the only socialist politicians I have met that I have any time for. I disagree with him politically, but he’s always struck me as a decent, honest man, genuinely standing up for what he believes to be right and just. He did his time in the Army Reserve in the 1st Commando Regiment, and I’m hoping he has the skills he needs to survive this.
I have no idea of the man's philosophy and politics, as I am a world away from you (Montana, USA)- but I know the mettle of a man who can walk off into the mountains alone, the certainty, humbleness, and depth of resolve that rocky cathedrals pour out upon the soul of such a man...
Invariably, those who know wilderness of any kind know what it is to live, or would have died long ago. Surely one to ride the river with (What is it y'all say, "fair dinkum"?). It is that quality that I refer to.
