Did he have the munchies?

( Sorry, never heard of him....)

[thatone1967]

just read the article again.. I wonder what a "sudden accdiental death" was... I have a feeling this story will run for a bit...

If there's anything dodgy about it then the Daily Mail would be a good place to look.

This poor guy has been dead for only a few hours and already he is being besmirched


I wonder if it was an orange or just a straight hanging




safe-ish labour seat, will there be a byelection before the GE date?

[Ayahuasca]

Must have come as Ashok.

Makes you wonder who's going to be next to be caught with their cock in the hand and a bag over their head.

If you like your hats tinfoil flavoured, Stephen Milligan was offed by MI6. OH st, here come the Black Helicopters(TM)...

I tend to think the same - you're either alive or dead. There can be a gradual decline in health, but at least you're still alive.

Although it's quite hard to tell with some people.

He was my MP. Seemed to be a decent enough chap, if somewhat misguided (he was very, very pro-ID cards and other control measures).

Given what Labour have just done to the surrounding area (the general perception, rightly or wrongly, is that the people who worked for Corus got the shaft), I'd say that this seat is by no means a safe one.

What, you mean shutting down one of the newest and most efficient steel plants in the world isn't being done to save the bunnies/polar bears/children? Gordon wouldn't let that happen... oh st.

Will this mean a by-election before the General?

I doubt it as beginning of May is the rumour I heard for General Election and it usually takes at least a month to arrange a bi-election.

Even readers on the Daily Mail are praising him as a decent fella and good constituency MP who always made himself available to the public so I guess he wasnt your typical Zanu Labour politician.

Why can't it be some of the thieving, lying s in cabinet who drop dead. Instead it's nobodies (politically speaking) like Dr Kumar.
