George Negus R.I.P.

George Negus legendary journalist and author dead at 82.
Although he has many accolades to his name, including being the founding presenter of 60 Minutes I will always remember him for daring to call The Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher pig-headed.

Rest in peace, your wit and humour will be missed.
 

Sad news for any fans who watched 60 mins over the years @Tish
He had a very good voice / looks for TV and like you mentioned he didn’t hold back if he thought someone was lying / a criminal / scum of this earth he’d tell em straight

I remember the Paul Hogan show doing a skit on him. George Fungus. I expect he took it in good humour. He certainly was different. I think that perhaps he was a journalist who set the tone for a more aggressive sort of reporting. Anyway, it is sad news.
