Another reason I could never be arsed with it

There are quite a few hacks out there not much longer for this world, many still writing regularly. Sir Peregrine Worsthorne (b. 1923) former editor of the Sunday Telegraph, still contributes the odd column here and there to various publications I believe. US film critic Roger Ebert (b. 1942) famed for his thumbs/up down criteria along with the late Gene Siskel, has had extensive treatment for thyroid cancer over the past few years including large sections of his jaw removed can now no longer speak as a result, though he continues to write regular film reviews and is a prolific Tweeter. Has said he will not undergo any further treatment if the cancer comes back, definitely one to bear in mind for the 2012 list I reckon. Plenty of potential for puns too - "Ebert Gets Two Thumbs Down" "Last Picture Show For Ebert" "Movie Fades to Black" "Roger, Over and Out" or how about "Hopefully Not A Thumbs Down at The Pearly Gates" deserving of his own thread really. Derek Jameson (b. 1929), former Mirror editor went on to become Radio 2 DJ and prolific TV presenter and personality, spotted recently on BBC2's The Young Ones (no, not that one). That's just for starters really, must be many others I haven't thought of, what do people think?

No politician with an ounce of common sense would want anything to do with Robinson, his appeal is mainly to thuggish Neanderthal cretins and incel types, in other words the exact type of rabble the political far right is desperate to distance itself from

Assuming his backing Tommy Robinson is at the heart of it, I’d say Musk’s fling with Reform is destined to be extremely short lived. Without Farage what are they left with?? A bunch of racist cranks mainly with all the electoral appeal of Gary Glitter. Rallying behind Robinson would be suicidal for any political entity in the UK, as was the case with UKIP under Gerard Batten

Given hes a man of means (or at least was at the time of his trial) and the number of offences committed over a long period it is likely the court issued instructions forbidding him to leave the country. Think they learned their lesson after Gary Glitter

It depends on the terms of his release, sex offenders can leave the country in some cases provided they notify the police, however there aren’t that many countries would permit someone with his record to reside there, also bear in mind his advanced age so I would imagine he’s likely still living here. Assuming he IS still alive of course

Went for Stuart Hall

Imelda Marcos to tie with 2011

Gotta love an optimist

Jeez just let the poor bastard die with dignity already, what sort of life is that?!?

Naw mammy, it’s no a dildo!

He’ll be dropped and then keel over mere hours into the new year, just wait

Gone for Desmond Morris, in the last few minutes of NYE

Had my hopes up for a moment there. What a shit year it’s been

I remember the welly one, I was scared of going on escalators for years after

Looks like a sort of variant of our own Charley Says

Tend to be either terribly middle class twats who consider them edgy and authentic, or scally gobshites

Anyone else think Oasis are the most overrated bunch of posers ever?? Basically a glorified Beatles tribute act who reckon they’re hot shit

Assuming ice cream is permitted by her dietary regimen

that’s because he’s the best there is, the best there was…

He's 98 now, reportedly stepped down from running his restaurant last year due to ill health…

I did quite like House of Gucci and All The Money In The World

well why quit if you still enjoy something?

What you reckon Keir is gonna stand up for everyone’s civil liberties?? You may be in for a rude awakening

If Starmers wants to unveil draconian laws against protesting and posting on social media then these Neanderthal cretins activities over the past week have made it a lot easier for him…
