I always referred to him as the man with many faces and I always will.

Some might find this sort of thing amusing but somehow I never did.

Face number one was a grumpy sort of look which is often seen on schoolboys except that in this case it was probably because of the way the government was going.

Face number two is the intellectual type, the one he so clearly shows on television when half the time even the journalist interviewing him does not know what the man across from him is on about.

Face number three is when his face is bright red with rage over some dispute in which he undoubtedly thinks he is in the right.

Face number four is the face I love dearly, that wonderful smile that captures little children because they all run to him.

There are a hundred things that caused the downfall of Dr Alfred Sant but I always believed that the man has not been understood.

What a pity when the man is so clever.
