This is awful news. I don't use Facebook these days so I hadn't heard. I
remember going to Edinburgh to do a talk years ago and spending some time
with Brian. He had a wicked sense of humour and was passionate about social
justice. And interesting taste in hats. He'll be missed.

From his non-wiki friends on Facebook, apparently he
passed suddenly on
the 4th July. He was due to start cancer treatment shortly after then.
Possibly he had COVID, but it is not clear.
RIP.
Mike

tributes from a number of his friends on his Facebook page.
Does anyone know more?
