The reporting is that Lineker stands by what he said and he's been taken off air, not agreed to step back. Security Risk Suella and the rest of her crew have scored an own goal here - yer man in the street loves our Gary. Wonder how many votes that will cost them?

Film producer, director and screenwriter from Singapore, Pearry Teo, reported dead: First Singaporean to make a Hollywood movie, The Gene Generation (with Bai Ling and Faye Dunaway), he directed Witchville (with Luke Goss) and various other horror genre movies.

Reports of the death of reggae exponent Junior English, who came to make it big in the UK from Jamaica, succeeding in a minor way by topping the Reggae Chart in 1978 with In Loving You:

BBC decide not to broadcast an episode of Wild Isles for fear of a Tory backlash on rewilding: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/breaking-bbc-decide-not-broadcast-29420898 Now let's be honest. This wouldn't have anything to do with Boris' mate being in charge of the BBC now, would it? Of course it would. The Beeb's horrible lurch to programming what might be acceptable to the right wing of the Tory Party is probably a direct result of this. Speak truth to power? Ah, fuck it, I'm just off the phone to Mark Francois and he says no. Free to go back on topic now...

Cup pick and probably DDP, Otis Taylor now being reported dead: https://arrowheadaddict.com/2023/03/10/kansas-city-chiefs-legend-otis-taylor-passed-away-age-80/

Can you all please take this extended discussion to somewhere else? I want to know about political deaths in this thread and concurrent discussion of their specific misdeeds.

Mid table East European stuff - could have come from Azerbaijan or Albania. Even out of the context of the other participants, this would struggle to get out of a semi-final. As we will already be in the final - this is a piss poor effort. Doubt it will be bottom, but nowhere near top ten.

Seems like old Mystic did see it coming: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11840085/Did-Mystic-Meg-predict-death-final-horoscope.html

Security Risk Suella quotes Lineker as diminishing the unspeakable tragedy of the Holocaust. While dreaming of Rwanda flights and rubbing her hands in glee at any drowning which means one less human being to process through the Home Office, I'd imagine. That scumbag. Yeah, she can say the word "compassion" all she likes. And I'll call her for what she is.

Randhir Singh, Indian cricketer who played 2 One Day Internationals against England and the West Indies in the early 80s, reportedly dead:

Well, this is what I was thinking. Black bob Ruth Madoc - dead. Black bob Mystic Meg - dead. Black bob Mary Quant - ALIVE.

Raw emotion from Homes Under The Hammer presenter Martin Roberts, who announces the death of his father:

This can only mean one thing. General Election!!!!! Also, that's really going to hurt the Singles Chart thread. Stay well, catch you around.

Under her real name of Margaret Anne Lake, she was last picked for the DDP by @Gooseberry Crumble in 2021 @Death Impends. https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_L.html#lake99m021 Another List of the Missed.

Mystic Meg dead: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11839191/Mystic-Meg-dies-aged-80-National-Lottery-astrologer-dies-short-illness.html Did she see it coming?

Chaim Topol is a hit for me in the Oscar Nominees category.

Horrid news. For Your Dies Only....only for you. Huge fan. RIP.

Lynn Seymour, Canadian ballerina and choreographer celebrated for her portrayal of Juliet in Kenneth McMillan's Romeo And Juliet, and was a prima ballerina in Europe and a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet, died on March 7 aged 83, one day before her birthday: https://www.roh.org.uk/news/remembering-lynn-seymour-1939-2023

Interesting. However, the main point of my post was that it hadn't been picked up for the List of the Missed, which is why I posted here instead of a death thread.
