Originally I was going to take this back 30 years but there were just too many of them. There are 39 in total including 2 women. Many of these have already been discussed previously but there are some commonwealth appointments who are new to me. Be warned one of them doesn't even qualify for his own Wiki page so obits are not guaranteed. I have listed them with their names but on Wiki they are listed under their titles which is why this list is not strictly alphabetical. Doug Anthony Peter Carrington Alun Gwynne-Jones Robert Lindsay Roger Edwards Denzil Davies Edward Du Caan John Eden Prince Philip Norman Fowler Roy Hattersley Denis Healey Michael Heseltine Terrence Higgins Geoffrey Howe David Howell Patrick Jenkin Michael Jopling Gerald Kaufman Peter Kenilorea Tom King James McKay John Morris Roland Moyle Ronald Murray John Nott Turlough O’ Donnell Sally Oppenheimer-Barnes David Owen Jim Prior James Ramsden William Rogers Robert Sheldon Ian Sinclair Michael Samare David Steel Ninian Stephen Prince Charles Shirley Williams What do you mean you have fallen asleep. I intend to get myself onto the Privy Council so I can live forever just like this lot. This list is now down to 15 individuals John Morris Roy Hattersley Bill Rodgers David Own Ian Sinclair David Steel Norman Fowler Michael Heseltine Terence Higgins David Howell Michael Jopling Tom king James McKay John Nott Sally Oppenheim Barnes There are another seven who by the end of the year will have served for 40 years Just thinking this could be a good Scavenger Hunt category 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prussianblue 1,038 Posted June 1, 2023 Just now, Bibliogryphon said: Technically he is no longer a member of the Privvy Council as they advise the King. Correct, but my understanding was that the list was those appointed pre-1980 who weren't dead. Him being the monarch doesn't alter that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, family said that it's fake news and the family lawyer has sent a defamation notice to that reporter. I think this is the end or atleast the start of the end. He's been undergoing immunotherapy for months and a serious bout of pneumonia doesn't go well with throat cancer that's likely terminal. They've not released any pictures of him anytime recently unlike during his previous hospitalisations. Oommen Chandy (also a DL Cup pick this month) still under treatment and can't be consulted due to bad health condition according to this. However according to this, political leaders have had talks with him. There's an annoying amount of mystery surrounding his health condition, but he hasn't made appearances in months (I think the last time was following his hospitalisation around February or March - he was wheeled around looking like a skeleton) and is known to have advanced throat cancer. I think he'll be dead sooner than later but will it take days, weeks or months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
