    The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs recorded a murder and it was posted online and is still available to see on certain sites. A recorded murder is called a "snuff" film, right? Or is that only for ones that also have a sexual element?

    The media prints a ton of stories about Nick Griffin/the BNP, many of which are complete bullshit. They'll sell papers because they're a controversial party, but they will never get elected. At most they will get a couple of MPs, but even that seems unlikely.

    Here's an interesting one:

     

    109-year-old Juan Carlos Caballero Vega, a veteran of the Mexican Revolution who was the driver of Pancho Villa, passed away on March 30.

     

    That's almost into supercentenarian territory!

     

    :wheelchair:

     

    Why does Wikipedia list only the oldest people from what are classed as developed nations, I wonder? Easier to verify, probably, but is there any other reason?

     

    Because Wikipedia only lists people who are approved by the GRG, and the GRG almost always begins with the assumption that anyone with an age claim from a developing country is lying, so people wanting to verify that have to overcome both that bias and the fact that record keeping is very poor from those regions. Add in a senior claims investigator who takes the side of the race debate that believes that the social construct of race has significant biological backing and Wikipedia's list of Oldest people is the result.

    Race is a social construct? To a certain extent it is, yes. But there are genetic differences between populations that have lived in the same region for a long time and that is biological. Politically incorrect, but true. And I do not think that one should ever let political correctness get in the way of the truth.

     

    That being said, it's ridiculous to suggest that race is, or ever has been, concrete between the border of Mexico and America or between Western Europe or Eastern Europe... even 100 years ago these would have been absurd suggestions to make.

    This thing should have died in prison. All the deaths in The Deathlists since inception don't add up to the number of innocent lives taken by this excuse for a human being and yet he sits in the Libyan sun & will die a free man.

     

    Amen to that.

    So am I right in thinking the podium positions are to be filled by Babcock, Choules and Buckles, with the latter a marginal favourite for gold?

     

    I've just read the whole thread, fascinating stuff and quite an education.

     

    Claude Choules is the only surviving veteran to have seen active service. Surely that qualifies him as the only real veteran of the war. I know that there are official guidelines and whatnot, but if they didn't do anything...should they be counted?

     

    I think that Patch was the last veteran in the real sense of the word given that he actually fought in the trenches. Choules, for example, explained his war as boring.

    Coudn't agree more. It's good that the BBC and Sky are reporting him as the last veteran. Although Choules did put his life at risk, but not to the extent that Patch did.

     

    John Babcock will be the last out of the three though. His health is amazing for his age whereas Buckles and Choules look like garden vegetables ready to boil in the soup..... :)

    :(

     

    Also it'd be something of an anti-climax if the last 'veteran' living was Florence Green, a waitress.

    Oh come on.

    Everyone seems to worship Keith Richards, he's had far more drugs.

    There are a whole list of talented musicians who have been on drugs and been in trouble with the law.

    It's just that it doesn't happen like it used to back in the sixties and seventies. Not to that extent.

    The French John Tyndall/Nick Griffin, Jean-Marie Le Pen, is rather old.

     

    Anyone considered him as a DL candidate?

     

    He's gradually edging his way up the popularity poll in DDP and the like. Old, fairly corpulent and at the wrong end of a life combining sedantary sessions and high stress. HAWH (heart attack waiting to happen) as they say.

     

    Yeah that's what I thought of him too, saw a YouTube video of him getting angry speaking to the European Parliament or something.

    This is just a rumour, but I've heard on the grapevine that Tom Holmes, the racist elderly leader of what little remains of the National Front, is seriously ill. He didn't attend the NF's annual Remembrance Day march to the Cenotaph this year for the first time in forty years and he doesn't look or sound very healthy in a speech he gave a while ago (search Tom Holmes National Front on You Tube and you'll find it). The problem is, even if this is true, that the NF are such a small organisation now, I'm not even sure he'd get a UK obit when he does make the world a better place by dying.

    I don't think he's worth including to be honest.

    Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has been arrested on suspicion of assault. I don't think that'll cause him much harm, but you never know.

     

    regards,

    Hein

     

    Two hopeless alcoholics have a fight, hardly news. But it does suggest his well hammered internal organs continue to weather the onslaught. Ripe old age seems highly unlikely, and if she dumps him........he'll probably go on a bender.

    I think given the age difference between them, his internal organs are probably more... weathered.

    You know, this has been a turnaround this summer from a poor year for death list to a year with a chance of making it up there quite high. There's a very good chance of both Biggs and Al-Megrahi going before the end of the year, which would bring us to 11, and then it would be only 3 more needed to equal the record, and with lots of old guys like Levi-Strauss, Nieyemayer, Wisdom et al they could croak at any time.

     

    Voted for Biggs but whatever.
