A very significant death in the political/legal world of the U.S Not only, as mentioned above, did he have a key role in the Clinton impeachment proceedings, but also in Donald Trump's first impeachment trial. In Clinton's he was on the offensive, in Trump's on the defensive. This doesn't include his history as a Ronald Reagan appointed judge or the many cases debated in front of the SCOTUS as a U.S Solicitor General. At one time he was the president of Baylor University when multiple sexual assault allegations were ignored, leading to a subsequent investigation and Mr. Starr being fired. Complicated and complex legacy. It is reported that he died of complications from surgery. A notable death for the current times. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,620 Posted October 3, 2022 Carl Walker GC (wiki), police inspector in the Lancashire Constabulary, dead at 88. Along with officer Gerry Richardson (wiki), he chased a gang of five robbers who had cleared out a jewellery shop in Blackpool. The robbers shot at both officers, killing Richardson and badly wounding Walker, forcing him into an early retirement in 1982. Both Walker and Richardson received George Crosses for their bravery, the latter posthumously. Times obit. Edit: With the death of Carl Walker, there are now 13 living George Cross recipients: Jack Bamford b. 1937 Jim Beaton b. 1943 Matt Croucher b. 1983 Chris Finney b. 1984 Tony Gledhill b. 1938 Kevin Haberfield b. 1957 Kim Hughes b. 1979 Barry Johnson b. 1952 Alf Lowe b. 1931 Peter Norton b. 1962 Michael Pratt b. 1954 Sam Shephard b. 1987 Dom Troulan b. 1962 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,046 Posted December 10, 2022 Interesting one this, especially for those of us around at the time. Death Notice for former Detective Chief Inspector Brian Woollard of the Metropolitan Police, aged 88: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/261148/woollard Effectively, in the mid-1980s, he was uniformed after discovering possible corruption between the police and the local authority in Islington involving their common freemasonry. He found he had no means of redress, he claimed, because senior officers who could have taken the investigation further were also freemasons. Articles reproduced here https://spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/police-action-urged-over-mason-network-30-03-84/ and here https://spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/2014/12/06/power-of-the-masons-myth-or-a-menace-13-07-86/. The late Austin Mitchell presented a petition of behalf of the aggrieved officer to Parliament: https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1985/dec/20/chief-inspector-brian-woollard but it wasn't until 10 years later the Home Affairs Select Committee decided to look into the matter of conflict between officers' duty and their membership of the Freemasons, which to some extent overlapped with the then Nolan Inquiry. The matter was discussed on the Channel 4 show "After Dark", but the freemason reps pulled out of that at the last minute. While Mr Woollard never seems to have had a Wiki page, this was a huge controversy at the time, and no doubt he will get I assume a Times Obit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
