THE MONSTER IS DEAD!!!

Personally I'd like a Tory leader who can lose around 350 seats in an election...

That quite frankly may have played a role in this happening I've seen the video - the first shot missed him and, while his bodyguards reacted fast, they were nowhere near fast enough for people meant to be guarding a major politician - got in position to protect him about a second after the second shot hit him. You'd imagine that if this was a country with more gun deaths (Japan has about 10-20 gun deaths a year - one year with about 40 was considered to be an abnormal high), the guards would be better trained to react between shots 1 and 2. That and, in terms of gun ownership, you really can't do much if the person is nuts enough to make their own tbh. It was a full on homemade shotgun, with rumors floating that the ammo was homemade as well. Ammo was def black powder based on the sound of the shots, and at that point, no amount of legislation banning gun ownership will help.

Adam Wade (IMDB)reported dead:

Let's have a quick update, shall we? After all, we just got 4 quick hits in succession. There is Jose Eduardo dos Santos as another replacement hit, three people score. There's also Larry Storch, a hit for four people. Only CalebH and GuyFromFuture picked Caaaaaaan, And then there is sports commentator John Gwynne, also picked only twice. Banana extends his lead with the safe and sound Dos Santos replacement. Enough for him, his contenders went for the younger, riskier picks. Let's see if it works in the long run.

DDP pick FOR gcreptile even.

It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? The argument here is that May and Cameron stayed on whilst a leadership election took place, but the difference with them is they weren’t removed from office as a result of horrendous misconduct or a total and provable lack of integrity. Sure, they were both shite, but they weren’t a national security risk. Johnson definitely is. He should be removed NOW. By force, if need be. They should bring in Theresa May as caretaker PM until the conclusion of the leadership contest.

If you go to his wiki page and go to sources you can view the article for free. Anyway not only has Topol been diagnosed with alzheimer's but according to what I've read he has had it for years and is detrortating. Clearly a death list must if he makes it that far.

People don't put up with this sort of shit everywhere .... Thousands of protesters have stormed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's residence in the capital of Sri Lanka.

#GoNads!

Must not be a millionaire. Must not be public school educated. Must not be Oxbridge educated. Must not represent a London/Home Counties seat. Must not be a banker, hedge fund person or ever been a CEO/Director of a "large" (more than 250 employees) company. Must never have had a photo op involving a food bank. Must never have had a photo op dressed in hi-viz or a hard hat. Must never have campaigned or voted for the exemption from the rule of law of any person/group of people, such as Northern Ireland veterans or Owen Patterson, for example. And, just to rule out everyone else, must not be a cunt. Otherwise, fill your boots.

Tony Sirico is not looking great, he’s dead:

Didn't expect this thread to end in this way when I started it.

Ben Wallace has decided to not run. Meanwhile the Daily Mail have endorsed Nadine Dories. Looks like they will be full in against Sunak as well.

God bless him. He was one of the best

American actress Kelly McGillis , probably best known for starring in classic 1980s movie Top Gun with Tom Cruise, celebrates turning 65 today. British singer songwriter Marc Almond , formerly lead singer of band Soft Cell, celebrates his 65th birthday today. His best known song is classic Tainted Love.

I went for the 'other' option. A new upcoming politician Jorris Bohnston.

Larry Storch is a hit for a few of us here.

Congratulations... Gooseberry "Unique" Crumble.
