    It’s sad that she turned to Reform. In some ways, I’m glad the person arrested is white as if he had been black or non British, she would have been Reformed martyr

    And doubtless we'd have had people inciting and using violence.

    Murder is obviously wrong, and that's a truly shocking update - while I clearly disliked her, nobody deserves to be murdered.

    That's the way I see it too: I certainly disagreed with her political views, but violence is not the answer.

    From the BBC link posted above, it's not believed to be politically motivated - but even so it's an awful thing to happen.

    Randy Mantooth, the star of the 70s show Emergency has died, after a prolonged battle with various cancers.

    I was just coming here to post about that. Emergency was one of those unexpectedly memorable TV shows from my childhood.

    I don't think this has been posted - prominent British newsreader Dermot Murnaghan has died following a diagnosis of Stage IV prostate cancer, aged 68.

    I think the premise of the show always seemed rather boring to me, and I never watched it, apart from channel-surfing here and there. I remember an episode where the recurring subplot involved the crew trying to invent a new card game, and then getting called to a new emergency each time they started getting somewhere with it.

    Also remember watching a medical show with my babysitter, and a mother was in distress while trying to stop her baby from crying, and my babysitter told me "the mother took dope", which I now assume to mean the baby was born addicted. That kinda freaked me out. Not 100% sure it was Emergency, though.

    Definitely remember a disclaimer at the end of Emergency telling you that you shouldn't rely on the show for medical information. But it always seemed to me the show was presenting itself as semi-educational.

    Lindsey Graham just died!

    He was 71, on the other hand the Russians might have taken him out given his support for Ukraine.
  • A bit early for the conspiracy theories, isn't it?

    Again, awful person, but prayers for his redemption. 🕯

    The report in the Guardian seems to suggest Mr Graham may have had a heart attack.

    As did CNN’s report, which said “Emergency responders were dispatched to a DC address for Graham around 8:30 p.m. ET for a report of someone suffering from chest pains, according to audio of the dispatch on Broadcastify.”
