A few of you might have seen me mention a journalist called Jeremy Scahill, writer of the brilliant expose of private military contractor Blackwater (and their crimes), well; the man's just completed a new book and a documentary. The documentary and book are both called Dirty Wars and deal with the off the books drone programmes and wars being implemented around the globe. The documentary has been getting rave reviews at the Sundance film festival. Here's the trailer: 6CEIzgV_85c Scahill was on Democracy Now earlier in the week and gave a brilliant interview which fleshed out how the US operates and the history behind the story of them assassinating two US Citizens in Yemen. If you care at all about having a little insight into the reality behind the bombastic headlines and scaremongering I'd suggest you take a listen. It shines a light on the standard response every time people are blown to high hell that they were all AQAP big cheeses. Jeremy Scahill: The Secret Story Behind Obama’s Assassination of Two Americans in Yemen | Democracy Now! Take some time out. It's worth it.

He's a pundit on the BBC's confed coverage and has just been told he's been sacked by Brighton live on telly. Ouch!

God knows the piss-taking that goes on on this site can be pretty brutal at times but nobody has invited more of it and come back smiling for more than Simon. A lot of it goes over the top and gets a bit snide and nasty but he puts up with it without getting dragged into petty squabbling. The lad has a unique style and is one of the top characters on this site, when I see a new Simon thread it's always my first click. And let's not forget that he was one of the busiest movers 'n' shakers in the Kop Faithful campaign. Let's give Simon a bit of love here and if he is really gone let's have a celebration of his input to the forum to remind us what we've lost. So let's have your nominations for Simon's greatest hits, your tributes to his memory and your frantic appeals for his safe return.
