I've got to hand it to that Dutch-Moroccan fella who shot him........ killing Van Gogh in the street was the perfect way to refute those silly allegations he made that Islam is somehow, like, violent or something. Such a witty riposte.

It did prove Van Gogh's "no one shoots the village idiot" statement wrong though.

Having a nap, was woken by my wife who said "The Deathlist is going to be in mourning, Clive Dunn is bloody dead."

 

Looks unrealistic written down, but that's honestly how I found out.

Now that you ask: yes I do. I was reading messages on a web forum, on which his death was announced.

Yeah I was gonna mention him as "another comedy legend" but I thought that would be too far. His killer still lives but he's a Crazy Black Guy In Prison so you never know what lies round the corner.
