	Telegraph \| News \| Paul Foot
		Paul Foot, the radical journalist who died of a heart attack on Sunday aged 66, was a tireless champion of the underdog, and fearlessly exposed some of the most notorious fraudsters of his time.
		Foot's bitterness and aggression in debate were in stark contrast to the love he inspired in friends such as Richard Ingrams and Auberon Waugh, who held him in the highest esteem without in any way sharing his views.
		Paul Mackintosh Foot was born in Palestine, where his father was serving as an administrative officer, on November 8 1937.

		Paul Foot was won to revolutionary socialism by Tony Cliff - founder-leader of the International Socialists, the forerunner of the SWP - whom he met in 1961 through his involvement in Glasgow Labour Party Young Socialists.
		Paul Foot was undoubtedly the ‘darling’ of the SWP: he seemed to stand above the inner-party difficulties and was a natural ambassador for the organisation.
		Paul recounts with admiration the efforts of this organisation, thrown up by the working people of that area, to bring farmers and working class residents into what would now be called a supply chain.

	Is Paul Foot sick? \| Samizdata.net
		Unfortunately for Paul Foot, all the examples he cites in support of this breathless conclusion have little or nothing to do with the free exchange of goods and services within a capitalist economy, as they are, without exception, directly attributable to governmental interference within a mixed economy.
		Paul Foot is not merely guilty of a failure of knowledge.
		For decades Paul Foot has sanctimoniously postured as a supporter of the underdog, a valiant champion of the outcast, defender of the weak, and a protector of the innocent.

		Paul Foot was not a corporate stooge, and as such I cannot think of one journalist from any news provider who is even remotely capable of taking this man's mantle.

		Paul Foot, who has died aged 66, was everything that is best in our gnarled old trade, and he graced it for five decades with stories and investigations that tumble down the years.
		Foot's weekly column ran for almost 14 years, ending in spectacular style with him investigating the bloodletting of Mirror chief executive David Montgomery after Robert Maxwell's death and putting his report forward for publication.
		Foot's column went from strength to strength, hoovering up awards and providing poor, sick and disadvantaged readers with a much needed voice, often ranged against a civil service bureaucracy Foot quarried with alacrity.

	Oliver Kamm: Assessing Paul Foot
		Foot's campaign to free the four men falsely convicted of the murder of Carl Bridgewater was the result of a relentless exposure of the flaws in the prosecution case.

		Foot rescued his reputation from the critics and syllabus setters who sought to portray him as a love poet and showed him to be what he was, a poet of rebellion.

		Paul Foot, the most seductive revolutionary socialist of his generation, died yesterday after having a heart attack en route to a family holiday in Ireland.
		What made Foot, a Guardian columnist for more than 10 years, different was his energy and character, which combined to make him a tenacious investigative reporter admired and supported by people who would never dream of endorsing his Trotskyite politics.
		The scion of a famous family of west country Liberals, dotted with MPs and peers, Foot's father, Hugh, later Lord Caradon, was governor of Cyprus during the independence battle with Britain in the 1950s.

		Foot devotes several chapters to illuminating this tension at the heart of Shelley's poetics and politics, in fact, and it is hard to see how it could have escaped Kamm's scrutiny.
		Foot's exposition of Shelley's poetical worth is as philistine in its way as the right-wing populism that decries experimental art.
		Foot argues that it is in Prometheus Unbound that Shelley resolves the contradiction in his consciousness between his desire for peace and his desire for revolutionary change.

	British Journalism Review Vol. 11, No. 4, 2000 - Geoffrey Goodman on Paul Foot
		Without doubt Paul Foot is one of the outstanding reporters of his generation, and not just because of his remarkable and truly majestic work as an “investigative journalist” (mind you, I have always been sceptical about that word “investigative”, since it seems to me that all good reporters are “investigative”).
		Paul is a great journalist in the tradition of his uncle and the remarkable Foot family.
		Paul himself was rightly deeply protective of his column and perhaps there were occasions when, in the closing stages of Maxwell’s mania, he drew back from ridiculing the maniac on the ninth floor at Holborn Circus.

		Paul Foot does it again in this book, about one of the lesser known miscarriages of British justice, the Bridgewater murder, where four men were unjustly imprisoned for the murder of paperboy Carl Bridgewater.
		Foot meticulously goes through the evidence, finding all the flaws and holes in the prosecution case, and positing a plausible alternate theory as to who could have committed the murder.

	Paul Foot won thousands to socialism
		PAUL WAS a brilliant socialist writer, a speaker more able than any other to make people see what was wrong with capitalism, a tireless campaigner against injustice, and an investigative journalist whose revelations caused the resignation of a Tory cabinet minister and exposed the corruption of businessmen, big and small.
		Meanwhile Paul was also exposing the faulty evidence that had led to the hanging of James Hanratty for murder in 1961.
		Paul was first taken ill five years ago, and that reduced his capacity to speak at meetings.

	Paramount Review of Paul Foot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Paul Foot is a curiously delightful addition to the stand up scene.
		Foot faces the same challenge as every solo act in Edinburgh - how to fill an hour when you?re only used to 20-minute sets, knowing that the Perrier rules demand a minimum of 50.
		Nonetheless, Foot more than saves himself by rounding off the evening with a fantastically oblique presentation on the nature of crime (including bad charts, surveys and ?van diagrams?), all delivered with inspiring pedantry and passion.
