Former US Senator Dick Clark of Iowa reportedly dead aged 95: https://eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2023/09/20/dick-clark-us-senator-iowa-dies-at-95-at-home-washington-dc-obituary/70912585007/ Seems to be a pick in the Hartlepool and ABC Deadpools, haven't yet checked the DDP. Edit: Not picked it seems.

If anyone wants to sit through the whole Sunak/Truss debate again and listen to the utter bollocks both have spouted with the benefit of hindsight, knock yourself out. Here however is what Rishi in particular had to say about climate change and recycling - very for loads of bins just over a year ago:

Kent Stax, drummer with Dave Grohl's old band Scream (Grohl replaced Stax on drums), reported dead from lung cancer on his gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-help-with-expenses-for-kent-stacks

"Now here's the thing. My party has been utterly shite at climate change. But there's an election coming up. So all the targets that my party has set - well, I'm getting rid of those. I know, I know, I have spent hundreds of millions of pounds - your pounds, your taxpayers' money - subsiding the moves towards the targets I have binned. Well, that's life isn't it? Truth is, my wife hasn't quite been able to get all the shares we need in the renewables sector, so we, as a family, require a little more time to finalise those. I mean, climate change is a reality, isn't it? But there I am leading from the front. By leading the retreat. Personally, I'd rather not have to face the true cost of climate change. But if my grandchildren - and let's not forget, your grandchildren - have to die before their time, they have to die. These are the tough, long term choices we all have to make. Anyway, I have a manifesto to look through. Bye for now."

Jr would definitely have a different button for a different kind of coke to be delivered to the Oval Office.

Hilarious.

John Francis Charlewood Turner, architect and past winner of the Right Livelihood Award, reportedly dead: https://rightlivelihood.org/news/british-architect-john-turner-who-called-for-human-centred-housing-policies-dies-at-96/ Top of the Ts in the DDP pick list.

All this talk of Sunak watering down the UK's climate ambitions. I hope they aren't using British water, have you seen what's in it?

Report that Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí, Irish language radio personality and a pick in the quarter finals (?) of the Deathlist Cup, has succumbed to his bout with colon cancer: https://www.newstalk.com/news/broadcaster-ronan-mac-aodha-bhui-dies-aged-53-1507804

Camilla, Jack Petchey and Frances Segelman in the same article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12537959/EDEN-CONFIDENTIAL-Life-Swede-Fergie-catches-Sex-City-namesake-Gothenburg.html At least one of these people isn't on the DDP. Can we get all three immortalised in the 2024 list?

Taggart reunion: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12537787/Scottish-television-series-Taggart-look-unrecognisable-reunite-celebrate-40th-anniversary.html Includes pictures in "people get old" shocker. There's been a murder - of journalism.

Apparently already being reported dead. See if I can get something. Edit: yeah, it might have been a button press of a forthcoming story on hold. Hmm.

Theatre and TV actor Richard Banks reportedly dead from cancer: Eastenders, Midsomer Murders, Not Going Out and Call The Midwife among the credits I can see. Worked as a production assistant on Bridgerton.

Retired judge William Gage, who presided over the Jill Dando case and presided over the public inquiry into the death of Baha Mousa, death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/gage-notices_53517 DDP pick for @Gooseberry Crumble.

And wrote for the Spade Cooley show! Any comments @Spade_Cooley?

Let's apply the logic of those Brand conspiracy nuts who casually dismiss women's complaints to another couple of cases, shall we? You know, just to see how that plays out when it isn't necessarily victim focussed. Case #1 "Not one case has been brought in a court of law convicting Jimmy Savile of any of the things he is alleged to have done. It's a disgrace this beloved entertainer's name has been sullied by these totally unproven accusations from people who waited until he was dead before coming out of the woodwork. Until he is exhumed and put on trial and convicted, he is totally innocent!" Case #2 "Who the fuck does Nicky Campbell think he is? He is all like 'boo hoo, I was abused at school'. I mean for gawd's sake, this stuff happened over 35 years ago! Not only that, but he didn't stop going to school, did he? Kept going day in, day out, though he claims he saw sexual abuse and was rag dolled. C'mon, that teacher was well known at that school for beating up kids and fingering them anyway - common knowledge. This is an attack on teachers everywhere! That poor educator is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law! How dare Campbell put that poor man through a trial by media, using his position to make such accusations?" Anybody see the double standards being applied here? Look I don't know what the truth is in Brand's case. All I do know is there is a bandwagon against women who step forward in these cases - especially when the authorities in charge have done nothing in response to complaints, or people feel they have to do the bidding of the "star". I don't advocate women getting special treatment - I advocate that they get the same treatment as men.

Dave Myers update: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/showbiz-tv/bbc-hairy-bikers-dave-myers-27740206 What's that advert for a funeral service which shows the guy riding around on his motorbike? Is it the Co-op? Well, it's like that.

State of Chaos Part 2. It was all Dominic Cummings fault. Until he left. Then it was the civil servants' fault. Then we went off on holiday and blow me, Kabul was taken. Blame the Taliban. To this day, it's all someone else's fault. Not the elected reps and PM. Fuck them all - again! I haven't shouted at the telly like that since my Dad died.

Exactly! Get them back on the looms and the spinning jennies and open the chimneys back up! See how many they influence then!

I'm appalled. I remember when kids wore the latest trainers or had the latest video game. That may have spurred some jealousy and, among my friends, a desperate need for the things. Influencer seems a bit strong for back then, maybe I just don't get the modern world.

With all due respect, it looks like the place to put the question. Because this site isn't really meant for kids' deaths specifically. That, and I haven't a clue who this is. I just wanted an opinion on how a 10 year old can be an influencer.

For some reason, I find Durham Town my favourite of his songs:

Up on his website: https://www.rogerwhittaker.com/ I picked him last year iirc. I have quite the strike rate of former TOTP picks this year.

How is a 10 year old an "influencer"? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12531559/Influencer-Yerly-Susa-Lozada-10-dies-horror-motorcycle-crash-bus-Colombia-brother-Yomar-says-God-decided-away.html
