The Dead Thread

Lord Buckethead said:
No Human, he'd been happily living in South Africa since 1974.

He was the paymaster behind the attempted Coup against Harold Wilson. His friends (John Aspinall and others) and his Secretary knew all about it and visited him regularly. Was the direct connection between those providing the funding and those actively plotting. Whereas the rest of the plotters were either killed, ruined or effectively exiled, Lucan's position and connections to the money made him unkillable but also too dangerous to have around, (his Nanny was killed possibly by Arnold Schwarzenegger as a warning to be silent and reason never to return) so he was effectively 'disappeared' by the Security Services. He died in 2004

I'm surprised that figure is so low then, or is that counting you in as a mod now?

Well done on the promotion by the way. GOT could not hope for a better addition to the Moderation Team.

I'm sure your future adjudications will be fair, and take into account the circumstances of any infringements.
