The Death of a Hero
This morning I woke up to find that one of my greatest heroes had died.
Christopher Hitchens, the author, the journalist, the most intelligent, uncompromising and sharp witted debater I have ever seen, passed today at the age of 62.
Whether you agreed or disagreed with the stances he took, no-one, not even his fiercest opponents can deny the elegance and skill that saturated his arguments, nor his encyclopaedic knowledge about almost anything written anywhere.
As one of the strongest voices for freedom of speech, he will be sorely missed.
