This X psychic has me worried. Should I be putting Donny Osmond on my lists for next year?

You know it's bad when the IDF are shooting the hostages taken by Hamas: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/16/idf-says-hostages-it-killed-were-bare-chested-and-waving-white-flag The untruth being spun by Netanyahu that all Hamas have to do is surrender. Of course they won't, because they will be summarily executed. Just like these poor people who thought they were safe at last and returning to their homes. So they don't care who they kill here. Awful.

Bob Johnson of Steeleye Span reportedly dead:

Brazilian bossa nova composer Carlos Lyra reportedly dead aged 90: https://oglobo-globo-com.translate.goog/cultura/noticia/2023/12/16/morre-carlos-lyra-icone-da-bossa-nova-aos-90-anos.ghtml?_x_tr_sl=pt&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Got a write up by the Guardian earlier this year so QO inevitable: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/16/bossa-nova-pioneer-carlos-lyra-at-90-we-wrote-songs-about-our-reality-the-beach-sun-and-love-stories If only he had been picked for the DDP. Off your lists for next year.

Educator Sir Tim Brighouse who once successfully sued Tory minister John Patten for defamation, reportedly dead: He was a former Schools Commissioner for London where he led the London Challenge.

148 million bucks awarded against him in defamation trial: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67723332 Go to jail, go directly to jail....

Look up the terms of reference of the Inquiry. Educate yourself a little more. This was a worldwide pandemic. It was coming to our shores for weeks if not months before anything was done. Did everyone who died have to die? Were decisions made here which increased the toll? Our Government's primary objective should be to protect the life of the inhabitants of the country. Did they fail? Did they succeed? Can action be taken now to prevent this happening again? You can't just say for example, if there was an Ebola outbreak here, well it started in Africa and the monkeys...let's blame them for all the ensuing deaths. Edit: actually I don't know if Ebola is spread by apes or monkeys. Maybe I should look into that, myself.

You are a fucking balloon.

The deaths of over 200,000 citizens of this country. I think the friends, families and loved ones don't want rounds of applause outside your door on one night of the week or thoughts and prayers. They want answers.

Piers Morgan just gone off on one about this. Haven't seen him this irate since he walked off the breakfast tv show. Using the usual journalist patter of slagging Harry off about his appearance, before laying into him about truth telling. Personally, I'm not invested. Anything that puts a bitter taste in Morgan's mouth however is most welcome.

Steve Halliwell QO: https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-12-15/emmerdale-actor-steve-halliwell-dies-aged-77 Should be noted he is being reported as having died aged 77, so the dob on the DDP is incorrect - it should be 1946, not 1954.

Brian De Palma's brother Bart De Palma reportedly dead: https://www.angelfire.com/de/palma/blog/index.blog?entry_id=1804462 Various collaborations with Brian as in the above IMDB.

Report of the death of Russell Rusty Waughman, Lancaster pilot awarded the DFC and the AFC and one of the few who returned from the Nuremberg raid in 1944, aged 100: Just over a year since this Look North interview:

George McGinnis, Pacers, 76ers and Nuggets with a wealth of achievements, reportedly dead aged 73: https://www.nba.com/pacers/news/pacers-legend-george-mcginnis-has-passed-away Hey now, you're an all-star....

Death notice for Rose Luce (nee Nicholson) aged 86, wife of the very much alive and obitable former Tory MP Richard Luce, Baron Luce: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/luce-notices_54843 Apparently an aunt by marriage of Miranda Hart. Sister of the very obitable Emma Nicholson, Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne and daughter of the very much deceased Sir Godfrey Nicholson, Bt, former Tory MP for Morpeth and thereafter Farnham. Or, as I call them, nepo fam.

Andy Cameron is 83. Which makes him a warlock for a Scotsman to live that long.

She's getting mixed reviews for her Highland Christmas show tonight. Not that I'd watch the auld witch. It seems she would use leftover cheese fondue as a dip for her roast potatoes. Pickled walnuts in her Ne'er Day steak pie? Is this bitch so out of touch with the cost of living crisis? Someone beat her about her privileged head with the kitchen utensils, just like she did with her own children when they were young. And...relax.

95 year old Bill Rodgers retired from the Lords yesterday: https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2023-12-13/debates/54AFA2F1-E711-423C-8C87-322576E60228/RetirementOfAMemberLordRodgersOfQuarryBank

Breathtaking. Tory MPs fighting for the retention of the Steel industry and fighting for NHS dentistry? Christ, it was less than 40 years ago the Tories were shutting steel mills across the country and privatising the dentistry service. Oops, did you make a mistake all the years ago? Meantime, Sunak still pushing the narrative that he is cutting taxes for working people when they will actually increase next year. Still thinking that when Rwanda is full after 100 deportations, that his scheme will be a deterrent to people on the boats. Fuck them all to Christmas hell. And a Happy New Year.

Nationality And Borders Act 2022. Illegal Migration Act 2023. Safety of Rwanda (Asylum And Immigration) Bill. FAIL. FAIL. Will probably not make it to law. Their record on this is about as poor as my showing year on year in the DDP. The hill they have already died on they are still climbing.

Who the hell are these people? Two famous Nanny Fayes? Ach, like the Sheikh thread, I'm giving up on this unless they have been in a real reality show. Whatever that is.

Nanny Faye a goner reportedly: https://www.tmz.com/2023/12/12/viral-great-grandmother-tiktok-nanny-faye-dead-dies-98/
