[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Highly critical of US foreign policy over the years and others

Excellent journalist. RIP.

Heavy stuff

Pilgers film 'Palestine is still an issue' is 20 years old and still relevant.

Fantastic journalist.

Yes he stood his ground on that one

Remember watching the one on Cambodia when I was a teenager, made massive impact. Broke the mould making challenging and thought provoking documentaries. RIP

Who was the bloke in saigon as the helicopter was taking away the Yanks fleeing from the Vietnamese?

Nicholson ?

He was a reporter not a pilger type journalist but I admired those guys too

Another good guy

In the balkans conflict rescued a kid whose family were killed and smuggled her to uk , pretending she was his daughter

Eventually adopted her

Some of the places he has reported from bloody hell

Poor sod retired and died on holiday on a cruise

All that stress and bang goodnight

The special relationship between Britain and America

In this case expelling innocent people from their homes to build a huge yank airforce base that they in return will use to protect the world

But only if it benefits America

There's a fella I know who is from Rwanda , a friend of a friend , lives in Barry now

Fled here during the genocide , he's incredibly well read and says America is far more dangerous than Russia or China

Pilger was a great man and I am surprised he wasn't assassinated by CIA

That could have been Max Hastings, he was pulled onto a helicopter and was the last civilian out. He was also the first Brit to enter Port Stanley in the Falklands war, beating the army.

Very sad news indeed. Along with Director Dave Munroe, he brought the tragedy of Cambodia to our screens. If not for him the tragedy of Pol pot and the Khmer rouge 4 years in power may have not been fully known. Superb journalist.
I recommend Year Zero- Silent death of Cambodia and the follow up Documentaries including Betrayal.

I didn't always agree with Pilger but it's a bit rich that Kamm is accusing Pilger of of being less than ethical and skewered by left-wing politics in his reporting, while Kamm himself has a very tarnished reputation in supporting some of the most abhorrent foreign policies of both the UK government (Blair) and Israel's right-wing corrupt regime.

More than a hint of jealousy and bitterness in that diatribe

Nicholson was outside of the embassy as the helicopter was taking off I think

Oh dear a Tory, sludge won't be best pleased.

Oh good Blair is back controlling Labour central office along with Maddy, here we go again.
