Farewell to an Old Friend

Emile addresses the crowd at the Time4Change anti-child abuse rally, March 2008

Emile Collins passed away today aged 98. Emile was a seasoned political campaigner, an enthusiastic follower -and often a critic- of Jersey politics. He was an avid contributor to the lunchtime BBC phone-in. He was both passionate and compassionate.

Emile, will be missed but not forgotten.

    Agree whole-heartedly with Martin. To the BBC Emille was a pain in the arse. He would regularly be cut off, he was prevented from going on and presenters were rude to him when he was on.

    I shall, over the weekend, be publishing a Blog on the subject of "BBC State Contolled Media" Naturally I shall be providing documented evidence to back that claim up and once more it will make for scary reading.
