One Foot in the Grave!

Michael Foot, former British politician, has shuffled off his scruffy mortal coil to provide DeathList 2010 with its second score of the year. Foot became leader of the opposition Labour Party in the early 80’s, pitching his “Columbo-like” appearance against Margaret Thatcher’s power suits. Foot was destroyed by Thatcher in the 1983 general election and resigned as Labour leader. In his later years, there were accusations that he had been a KGB agent and a Plymouth Argyle fan, although only the latter had been proven at the time of his death. Foot was 97 years old and was making his 11th appearance on DeathList, appearing at number 6 this year.
