Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted March 16, 2015 Labour MP Frank Field in hospital after collapsing... fighting for his l ife after massive heart attack according to twitter .Hope he pulls through.He's one of the few MPs who actually cares about the poor Hmm, so he's not back to campaign and he's sitting in fairly safe Labour territory, there'll be a scramble for that opportunity. I am sure his compassionate colleagues would not even begin to entertain such thoughts. Though perhaps they might need a new black tie for an event, any event, nothing in mind you know.....

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 21, 2015 Odd this one (seems to have) escaped scrutiny. Former Illinois congressman, Keith Farnham (67), already with but months to live from terminal illness, now sent to prison where child molesters and pornographers are not treated kindly. Double whammy. He probably wouldn't have obitted but now his story seems quite celeb. Hell, THIS headline from the Daily Mail, rest assured his obit will be.
