Sad to hear of the untimely death of the clever , principled and funny Jeremy Hardy.

I read a letter in the Guardian from the British Shalom-Salaam Trust, who are fundraising, hoping to plant an olive grove in Jeremy Hardy's memory to replace Palestinian olive trees regularly uprooted by Israeli army and settlers. He apparently did gigs in support of Jewish anti-occupation groups, and was thought of as "an honorary Jew". I think it's a great idea.

Given the balance of opinions on this thread I think the level of tributes to a good man with a conscience seems entirely appropriate.
