I'm Simon's brother Nick, just thought I should share this with you, unfortunately Simon passed away yesterday evening. He had been ill for a while but this account gave him a positive distraction from everything else so I'd like to thank you all for engaging with him. Keep Safe.

Those who've been following this account will know this account was started by my late great brother Simon.
This evening marks 3 years since his passing (great wit until the end). I'd like to thank everyone for their support in keeping his niche idea of humour going.
A good idea from Birmingham City Council give yourself a lockdown haircut like this will also increase the likelihood that people will keep their distance!

Tomorrow is Simon's funeral, it'll be an emotional day made more surreal with social distancing. I'm sure he may be somewhere watching me get tongue tied delivering the eulogy with a grin. So if anyone could distract him and get a

Thanks for all the lovely tributes they've been a real mood booster to know how highly he was thought of by people who he'd never even met. It's lovely to hear that so many of you enjoyed his wit and humour as much as his loved ones. I'm going to try and get some sleep.

James Brokenshire's passing has completely flawed me. Just several months younger than Simon was when he passed.
But from tributes across politics it seems he embodied values that Simon aimed to emulate, kindness, openness and respect, values we need to celebrate more in life.
