I am not a Barrett fan, far from it but this article by him is truly worth the read.

Outstanding read. Captured Spud, warts and all, light and shade...

A simple character who was incredibly complex.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

That glass eye part is magic.

Such waves of laughter immediately followed by sadness and disbelief right now.

not just Danny but his wife and girls as well - not just a casual acquaintance
Expressed genuine concern about how this will affect them & what was written and said in the coming days and the effects on family
It has angered me in the past about some of the things written here about him.
