    Queen Elizabeth II

    That Twitter account is run by Steve Back, a notorious photojournalist around Westminster and all round weirdo and pain in the ass.

    The 100 Club

    Lloyd McCuiston (wiki), member of the Arkansas House of Representatives (1961–1994) and its Speaker (1981–1983), dead at 103. He was also the oldest living male politician in the U.S. (now its Howard Bier, b. 1919, wiki), and a WWII veteran. EDIT: Also a pick in the Electoral deadpool... if that thing's even still going.

    I've now managed to locate full death dates for everyone in the first two sections of the Equity update above and submitted the ones with stats missing on IMDb with evidence. Just started on the last section and will complete tonight. Monteath's family tree is here at Wiki Trees. He died 9th March 2021 in Balfron, Stirlingshire, aged 79. The obituary writers are not going to touch this sadly.

    Lynch Mob

    Worst. Bond. film. ever. With lots of confusing and rather pointless scenes like the one above. Anyone involved in that monstrosity should get in the sea IMO.

    Make yourself useful and find out from your friend of a relative how likely it is she will die in 2022.

    Bill Clinton

    I knew you were joking without clicking on the spoiler. Prostate cancer is relatively mild in a lot of instances. Not pessimistic enough for one of your Mystic Meg style predictions.

    World War II Veterans

    Annette Chalut (wiki), member of the French Resistance during WWII and a survivor of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, dead at 97 (in German). Along with Francis Huré, Hubert Germain (who just got a Telegraph obit), and Justus Rosenberg, that's four WWII resistants who had English Wiki pages dead in less than a month. 13 survivors from my Wiki watchlist: Maria Mirecka-Loryś (b. 1916, wiki) Monique Hanotte MBE (b. 1920, wiki) Epaminondas Stassinopoulos (b. 1921, wiki) Jacques Borker (b. 1922, wiki) Selma van de Perre (b. 1922, wiki) Valérie André (b. 1922, wiki) Jacqueline Fleury (b. 1923, wiki) Madeleine Riffaud (b. 1924, wiki) Pirro Kondi (b. 1924, wiki) could be dead? Walkiria Terradura (b. 1924, wiki) Adolfo Kaminsky (b. 1925, wiki) Robert Hébras (b. 1925, wiki) Simone Segouin (b. 1925, wiki)

    I've moved Tessa Worsley to the middle section as The Stage have just released an obituary here. Gives a death date of 2 September, so she was 89. Submitted all this to IMDb etc. Somebody at The Stage must read DL.

    Hold on a minute. Was Jackie Stallone's death actually an elaborate hoax?

    By -Election Bingo 2019-2024

    Sir Geoffrey Cox QC now under fire as well. Cox is a very accomplished lawyer and represented the British Virgin Islands Gov against the UK Gov in court. Also seems to spend 90% of his time doing this type of work. Only spoke once in the Commons chamber in the last 13 months. The Chief Whip was supposedly absolutely livid and called him up this morning, effectively ordering him to spend more time in his constituency. IMO he should just step down and let someone else do the job. I know it's likely hard to let go as it would be a great honour being a member of parliament, but you cannot represent your constituents effectively if you have another full time role elsewhere.

    Voice Actors

    Another off-radar death? His Star Tiger profile says that prominent voice actor Val Bettin (wiki), died on January 7, aged 97. Known for using an English accent in all of his voices, even though he was American. Notable Disney roles include Dawson in The Great Mouse Detective and The Sultan in the Aladdin film series. Last film role was as The Bishop in Shrek. Edit: picked on several deadpools on here. Bad luck.

    The 100 Club

    A quick Google suggests he's barely notable. A lot of vaguely notable individuals get Wiki pages because there's an obsession amongst some users to create pages for people aged 100+. Helmut Ashley another recent example of someone aged 100+ who died off radar who really wasn't that notable a name in cinema. Jessie Lichauco hasn't even received one mention of her death outside of Facebook. She only got a Wiki article aged 102. Would she have gotten one if she died aged 80? Probably not. Her family really seem to have pushed her profile in recent years. There are lots of Resistance members still alive so one of their deaths in itself isn't notable. I think there is only one White Rose member still alive (Traute Lafenz, aged 102) so she will definitely get obits in France, Germany and the UK when she dies.

    Hunger Strikers

    He suggested today that he’s about to give it up in the next couple of days because he doesn’t want it to impact his health. Sensible decision. He’s done well and he got a lot of media attention to the cause, which I suppose was the key aim.

    Non-British Royals

    Princess Marie Alix of Schaumburg-Lippe (wiki) dead at 98. Was the 2nd oldest living European royal according to this.

    Hi everyone

    I think Betty White will last longer on here than you will.

    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    Vitabiotics use Martin Bell to promote their 70+ Wellman products on the London Underground. If he didn’t have a good bill of health, I doubt they’d have chosen him.
  23. Ulitzer95

    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    Why? Because he’s acknowledged that he’s 83 and therefore probably too old to run as an MP again? I’d call that common sense. I suppose you think he has cancer too?

    The Beatles Death Curse

    The obit says born in 1934, so 87?

    British Science Fiction Series

    Excellent Guardian obit for Bob Baker, written by none other than Toby Hadoke himself.
