Simon Crane

English butcher Simon Crane from Broxburn, West Lothian, is PA’s former Scotland regional organiser and is likely to fulfil that role for Homeland. Crane, who uses the online pseudonym ‘Si Borg’, has until now co-hosted the weekly ‘PA Talk’ livestream alongside Jamie Brown (aka ‘Mean Peem’). Commenting on a livestream on Friday 21 April, Crane claimed that PA’s lax vetting system allowed James Shand – a convicted child sex offender, and former employee and housemate of PA’s London regional organiser Nicholas Hill (aka ‘Cornelius’) – to attend the group’s “family friendly” events.
