Title: Some people make you very proud to be British

Investigative reporter Andrew Jennings is one of them, where he had provided the meat for the FBI to chew on over FIFA corruption:

Another one is Elliot Higgins who runs the investigative evidence gathering website Bellingcat. You are going to hearing much more about him in the future over MH17, Russian troops in Ukraine and initial and current use of chemical weapons in Syria by Assad:

I have no interest in football, but I still found the first link very interesting. If you haven't seen it, I can recommend the John Oliver show on FIFA (Youtube).

Thanks for the link.
