Big balls. Not afraid to speak out at a time when many public figures were. RIP, Tommy.

Yes. Was going to say something similar.

One of those guys I liked when I was 8 and still like.

RIP Tommy. You made a lot of lives a bit better.

His father was an Army major captured by the Japanese in WW2 dying in captivity when Tom was just 8 years old. I’m certain his beliefs regarding peace etc came from the heart and from personal experience of such a loss. He was even born on an Army base.
