That's written badly. He has been hospitalized and on life support since February. According to the hospital he is very weak and quite unstable, but they still manage his conditions. Yesterday morning Tsai Ing-wen visited him in ICU. There is no whatsoever possibility he recovers and will surely be dead before 2021. But we don't know how long we'll have to wait.

He seems to be in a very similar condition to Nelson Mandela who was in intensive care for the last 5 months of his life.I have a feeling that this is one of those cases where his death is falsely reported only for it to happen for real within days !

maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted July 30, 2020 Charlie Elphicke - respected MP, father of two and owner of award winning dog. Couldn't have looked more like a Conservative MP if he tried Wheels have come off a bit now. Convicted of sexual assaults which - amongst other things - involved him chasing unwilling younger women whilst singing "I'm a naughty Tory!" His missus - who now has his old Westminster seat - immediately announced the end of their marriage. Can't see this one going the Jonathan Aitken "Oh, I've just got religion and I'll spend the rest of my days helping ex-offenders" route. Can see him going to jail. Marginal suicide chance at best, but likely to keep us entertained once he attempts some kind of public rehabilitation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
