A fine actor but typical of the bbc to make it tonight's opening headline on the news! Crikey actors dying are generally situated at the end of the news and just before the weather! The snowflakes at the bbc have put him up there on a pedestal with the Queen and the pope! I doubt there's many under 40 who even know who he was. Is there no end to their woke stupidity?

Bit harsh?

It get's even worse. Today's main headline on the BBC is about some tennis player trying to dodge Australian immigration rules. The Aussies say he isn't incarcerated and can leave anytime he wants, I don't know what the max punishment is for such offences but he should get it to send out a message to all anti vaxxers.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Yes but his lawyers have produced evidence to the court that he hasn't done anything wrong? I suspect the government are trying to be firm in an election year, what a cock up.

Evidence being that he had covid in Dec? Point being that was one strain so apart from that has he had ANY vaccinations. Deport him and be done with it. Jurgen Klopp said re: Covid "football is the most important of the non important things in life". imo Tennis is some way under that.

Wat under. In my opinion Wimbledon fortnight is the ideal time for a foreign holiday.

RIP Marvin, I’ve effectively grown up with your music. It will be a great reunion with Jim in heaven though.

Steinman, the guy who wrote Meat Loaf's songs.
Strangely, he died last year.

A belting rock album SLKS . I’m sure we all have it on vinyl , even a soul boy like me couldn’t resist buying it back in the day .

 

[Drog]

This is one death that should resonate with the thicko anti vaxxers.
