I seem to recall Professor John Curtice talking about this at the last election.The UK he estimated it was a few thousand deaths from when the postal ballots go out and the day of the General Election.

I honestly thought she died a couple of years back.

Max Clifford died on the day I created a thread for him.

It was a pavement in the video.

No he jumped out of the window.

Just got shown video footage from someone .Definitely suicide.

I am out in town and you can hear young people gasp when they hear the news.

Definitely think he should be on DL 2025 .99 and multiple hospitalisations.The committee are going to need a fair few new names.

Jimmy Carter

You would think as a Linguistics graduate I would know better.

The committee wouldn't have picked Sir Keir Starmer or Kamala Harris if they had terminal cancer in 2015 let alone 2005 but if either declared they had stage 4 pancreatic cancer or grade 4 glioblastoma they would top the list next year without a second thought.And Taylor Swift is the same story.If she was dying in 2005 no one would have batted an eyelid but things change.Say for example an obscure scientist comes up with a cure for cancer in the next two months and is then diagnosed with ALS and also has heart failure and he makes it known before Xmas that he will end his life in Switzerland on New Years Day and the story goes around the world do you honestly think he wouldn't be number 1 on DL 2025?

No they would.Swift was a household name long before Captain Tom.Plus she is one of the most famous women in the world.She is much more famous and notable than many on the list currently.I don't get her appeal but she is at the top of the A list on an objective basis .The committeee would definitely put her as number 1 if she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.No brainer.The committee aren't stupid.

For example if Taylor Swift ,Justin Bieber , Eminem or Tom Cruise announced they had stage 4 pancreatic cancer tomorrow they would be number 1 in 2025 almost certainly.

The Queen Consort ,Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge ,Harry and Meghan ,All the UK Prime ministers living and every US President still living would make the Top spot if they announced they were terminally ill.Thats the tip of the iceberg.

There are many names like King Charles who could achieve a Number 1 debut if they were terminally ill.Depends on the nature of the terminal illness though.
