Yep and how substantial are these claims 6 hours later? The story of his demise has already had many different interpretations. Just say he is dead for now, no need for western vitriolic tabloid reportage. Isn't that would they would do?

Vitriolic? Hardly. You say he was evil but resent the BBC's tone because it might be a tad uncomplimentary?


Quite right, maybe they should have said the noble leader stood proud to the last. Defying the west he emerged from his environment-friendly, bijou palace with a wry smile, a final cigarette dangling rakishly from his voluptuous lips.


What a guy!


Ok?

Oh dear this is silly.


Have we really got people on this thread claiming the 'establishment' had him killed, and conspiracy theorists suggesting that it's a ruse?


And toasters are magic, and gravity is a theory?


Sure. It's possible that it's a ruse - but we base our interpretations on 'balance of probability'.


Enter UDT, stage left, with a woo woo comment.

No Maxxi I think the objection to the BBCs tone is it's unthinking parroting of the NTCs version of events. Lets not kid ourselves ... These don't look much like western style democrats to me. Deeply uneasy about NATOs role in all this ... Especially this gruesome denouement . I am not against regime change per se. But if you're gonna have the balls to do it, at least have the balls to say thats what you're doing. Hiding behind the fig leaf of "protecting civilians" just makes you look dickish. This feels different from our (belated) but much needed intervention in the Balkans ...of which I think we should be proud.

I should have put money on this that he would be done by October this year, it was clear that it would take a while. Skynews always gets there first and captures great footage even though it was not pretty. Especially what appears to be a bullet to the head.

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
