Thanks for your mostly kind words. I do...Charlie - <br />Thanks for your mostly kind words. I do feel it needs to be said however, that the bit about providing for family and success in career is not only way off the mark but also more than a little upsetting at this time. With respect, I don't think you are in a position to comment on these aspects. I can assure you that he took his career very seriously and did very well by his family.<br />Regards<br />Aaron (Ben's son)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-77000392293485851112012-10-18T09:17:07.350+01:002012-10-18T09:17:07.350+01:00Charlie Pottins wrote on Facebook:

He...I am very saddened to learn of Ben's death. He was a dedicated trades unionist and anti racist and as many will testify better, than me a stalwart of Brent trades Council. He was a kind and gentle man, and although he might not have called himself a Green, he showed care for the environment and set an example to others by driving around grossly polluted and often almost gridlocked Brent in his elecric car.DON'T dis UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684308335643900400noreply@blogger.com
