Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 15, 2015 After the death of Billie Whitelaw I've decided to tip Roy Hattersley as one of the next 1932-born-person(s) who never seems to have any particular illness or cancer, but just suddenly keels over one day. Rumour has it he puts lard on his toast rather than low fat spread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 15, 2015 Speaking of surprising potential 1932 deaths I think Hattersley is a logical choice.I could imagine Nigel Lawson or John Williams fitting that particular category also. After what happened to the genius Michael Kamen I would never find any composer-conductor's death "surprising" sadly. Maybe there's something about all that flinging your arms around that isn't good for an old man... =/ Shame cause IMO the music is one of the only mildly good things about the 35-year-long train wreck that is Star Wars. Well, that and Spaceballs but that's like saying Lyclear is one of the upsides of nits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 19, 2015 I must say this is ironic. True, from our point of view, however Cleggy thinks he's going to keep all his MPs and remain in coalition; Iain Dale begs to differ: He says we'll end up with a rainbow coalition. I wonder what flag they'll use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted January 22, 2015 A dossier on paedophiles allegedly associated with the British government was assembled by the British Member of Parliament, Geoffrey Dickens, who handed it to the then Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, in 1984. The whereabouts of the dossier is unknown, along with other files on organised child abuse that had been held by the Home Office.[1] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord mcalpine accused dead within 18 months , was he innocent maybe? The witness Paid to falsely accuse someone and retract it later to put off others making similar claims about other MP's and to make it look like a witch hunt . As MSC said Leon Brittan's death is a very convenient one , and if you had any doubts about a peado ring or the cover up going on leon's death should remove all that.

I hate to tell a fellow conspiracy theorist off but.... maybe it is very convenient for someone but that doesnt necessarily mean it was "too convenient"? I mean the politicians of that era seem like a crusty old bunch to me, who've generally spent less time in a gym (or the "healthy eating" aisle of Sainsburys) than Brian Blessed. Cancer at 75 isn't too hard to believe.... little bit of a lardarse too. Well, it doesn't bother me too much either way I'd rather ignore the whole fucking nasty thing.... just sayin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Look all those conspiracy theories are totally ridiculous.Leon Brittans death was clearly natural causes and had nothing at all to do with the inquiry into a highly secret high profile peedofile ring.
