Awww, fuck. Paul Foot is dead.

Really quite upset about this. Selfishly so, because I’m going to miss reading him. But 66 seems such a ludicrously young age to go.

Aye. Wasn't he standing as a RESPECT candidate in the recent elections?

Yes, that was rather a shock (his death, not the standing as a candidate). Good, intelligent writing from a nice bloke. Sorry to see him go.

Paul was a family friend, my mother is particularly upset at this news. He'll be missed by many.

Fuck.

Yep, what with this and Bowie's heart attack, you do start to wonder, what if Blair-Bush ( Blush ? Not in this world it seems, ) is actually right when it starts going into one about it's close personal relationship with the guy upstairs ?

Argh. Fuck. My sympathies, amethyst. A sad loss.

Aye, it's a fucker. He was a fine man and fought many a good fight.

Touching letter from Mordechai Vanunu today in The Guardian to remind us all that Paul Foot was a giant amongst journalists.
