    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Right, I'm going to slot this here just because there is so little information. Obituary for Jennifer Grainer-Ackerman (nee Dodd), sometime actress and backing singer for Cliff Richard: https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2024-04-18/obituary-jennifer-marilyn-ackerman-grainer-november-1944-april-2024/88013 She married Ron Grainer, yes the Doctor Who theme guy, on whose Wiki she is currently referred to on her maiden name as "Dodds" which isn't right - maybe @Ulitzer95 is the guy to fix that. Picture of the couple on their wedding day here: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/australian-composer-ron-grainer-marries-actress-jennifer-news-photo/1299341532 I can find an uncredited role for a Jennifer Dodd in Lolita, I wonder if it is the same person. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1860334/

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    Seems to have mental health issues. Having been down that road myself with a disturbed partner, I'd ask him to disappear into the outback as far away from me as possible.

    From Cleric To Relic

    Derek Powney, retired priest, reportedly dead: Wouldn't have bothered, but he seems to have made a nice living out of being a classmate of the late Stephen Hawking at Oxford.

    Rupaul And Other Drag Queens

    Claimed 54 as age in this clip from Sky News. Clip says it is from last year, though Maisie was around 2021/2022, so I'm guessing didn't even make 60.

    Political Frailty

    Trixie Garner, Baroness Gardner of Parkes, Australian who was a local politician so squeezes in here, Telegraph Obit: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/04/22/lady-gardner-of-parkes-tory-peer-womens-rights-obituary/ I think @arghton picked her for next year's Windy City, alas dead before the start. Got to be a DDP pick, surely? Edit: Aye, she was!

    Political Frailty

    Tory MP Richard Drax will receive likely 3 million quid for the sale of his family's sugar plantation in Barbados: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13335431/tory-mp-richard-drax-receive-3-million-sale-family-plantation-barbados.html His family's history with the slave trade is well known. So despite that family receiving a bucketload of money when the slave trade was abolished, he and his family will receive even more money from the sale of the land. And he is quite, quite all right with that.
  18. Listened to Sunak's speech this morning on the Rwanda Bill. It is quite clear his Government has gone rogue. The ability of the Executive simply to ignore court rulings is a breach of the British Constitution's system of checks and balances. Even Boris Johnson or Margaret Thatcher in their most orgasmic of wet dreams would never have dreamed of the Executive holding sway and putting themselves above the law. I wish he would just fuck off.

    Academic Footnotes

    It is an absolute rout of philosophers lately. So add Charles Parsons to the list of the deceased, American philosopher and Professor Emeritus at Harvard: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/charles-parsons-obituary?id=54926563 and https://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2024/04/in-memoriam-charles-d-parsons-1933-2024.html
