DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 2, 2005 He might be suicidal, after all he has lost two jobs, two mistresses and one child that he thought was his in the last year. Fact for the day: David Blunkett's father died after falling in to a vat of boiling water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted November 3, 2005 Come on people, don't get my hopes up. I read "David Blunkett RIP", I think "Ah, some justice at last", and then I read the thread and find out it's just another job shuffle for the lying, conniving c*nt. Can we close this thread until he actually dies, please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,625 Posted November 3, 2005 I doubt he'll die anytime soon. He's too much of an egotist. Then again, maybe he'll take ill advised high profile work just to stay in the public eye. You know, like the 'Star in the Reasonably Priced Car' item on Top Gear. Wouldn't want to be a cameraman on that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monoclinic 39 Posted June 8, 2009 David Blunkett has been injured after he was attacked by a cow. He should have looked where he was going. Sorry, resistance was futile. Edit - just went to read the article and it would appear that the NFU representative was aptly named: "The best thing to do is to let the dog off the lead so it can run away because obviously a dog can run faster than you," she said. "The next thing to do is to get quite quickly to the edge of the field, collect the dog and leave." What a Pratt, the dog was attached for a reason. Last I heard we didn't have wireless dogs for the blind. Yet another case of foot in mouth in the farming community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,153 Posted 6 hours ago Suffers a fall whilst boarding a train. The article also mentions a recent heart attack which requires him to take blood thinners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,538 Posted 3 hours ago 2 hours ago, Summer in Transylvania said: Suffers a fall whilst boarding a train. The article also mentions a recent heart attack which requires him to take blood thinners. Just checked his Wiki and he's 78 next year, to my surprise. Including the current Home Secretary, there are 18 living individuals who have held that office. Almost enough for a DDP theme team! Half of them are aged 70+... Douglas Hurd (94), Kenneth Baker (90), Ken Clarke (84), Michael Howard (83), Jack Straw (78), David Blunkett (77), John Reid (77), Charles Clarke (74), Alan Johnson (74). I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a couple of these by the end of 2025. Both Ken Clarke and Charles Clarke (no relation to our non-British friends) have always struck me as prime heart attack territory. Douglas Hurd has lasted a long time... 95 in March, not seen in public anymore. Should be on the Deathlist next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
