Foot, Paul Mackintosh

Foot, Paul Mackintosh
▪ 2005

      British investigative journalist and writer (b. Nov. 8, 1937, Haifa, Palestine [now in Israel]—d. July 18, 2004, Stansted, Essex, Eng.), was known and respected for his integrity, his unswerving loyalty to his socialist ideals, and his tireless investigative work on behalf of the powerless. Foot was born into a prominent family (his uncle Michael Foot was the Labour Party leader during 1980–83) and began working for the Daily Record shortly after graduation from University College, Oxford. He contributed to the satiric magazine Private Eye and to such newspapers as The Guardian and the Socialist Worker (of which he was editor in 1974–75). His most famous association, however, was with the Daily Mirror, for which he contributed an investigative column for 14 years (1979–93). He wrote a number of books, among them Who Killed Hanratty? (1971), Why You Should Be a Socialist (1977), and Articles of Resistance (2000).
