    There is no reason to assume that any other country will drop the queen (Barbados just did) after the queen dies. After she dies, maybe more will become republics but I remain unconvinced that many will do it. And I say this as a committed republican.

     

    Diana was the least bad but she could have done more.

    Nah. You cannot say, do you people still throw spears at each other to Australian Aborigines and not be a casual racist.

    You cannot say, you survived not getting eaten to a student hiking in Papua New Guinea and not be a casual racist.

     

    This would be like saying, to Prince Phillip, so how many concentration camps did your wife's ancestors set up in South Africa?

    and How many Turks did your dad slaughter?

     

    Culturally, his people are just as weird as everyone else and everyone has ancestors who were monsters.

    Should we question Sean's inclusion of Max Clifford with two of the UK's worst serial murderers? Max was no Jimmy Savile.

     

    Maybe I have been gone too long from the UK but I am not sure I would have put Max in that company and if I did, I would happily add Rush or Alex Jones.

    In that story, after Weldon overdosed, her husband found her and instead of getting help, waited for her carers to show up later that day. Blimey.

    I refuse to accept the Daily Fail as a reliable source of news.

     

    Still, a bloody good pick for 2021.

    Still don't understand why Bill Gatas father "William Gates" was included. Even though he died was a hit, and not Little Richard and Sean Connery that was big bosses this year. Hope it is more notabene names to 2021.

    I don't know. It is a relative thing, The Yorkshire Ripper and Ian Brady are hardly known outside the UK (I know the rules are they get a UK obit - I am British, so being British is a huge help on this site).

     

    Someone like the Duke of Kent is pretty low on the pecking order of royals, these days so time and space play a part, too.

    Tom Baker is way more famous, for example.

    Prince Phillip will keep his number 1 spot because, well, the list is gunning for him.

    I would like to see Rush Limbaugh in the number 50 spot because he has stage 4 lung cancer but I am sure lots of people are "worthy" of being on the list.
