Mister Cee (rap prime minister).

Not sure it’s any great loss

And isn’t he the reason we now have to suffer the Kardashians?

Akebono is a jumbo-sized loss for fans of 90s Channel 4.

OJ Simpson no great loss,
but prostate cancer..

Prostate cancer is saying 'get this murdering bastard off me!'

Exactly

Yes.

At least OJ can finally rest knowing his wife’s killer is dead

Didn't even know he was sick.

Sorry to hear that dude. condolencés

Thanks Jonny - he was a pretty special father in law. A proud Chilean professor who helped many Chilean people settle in the Uk to escape Pinochet.
I could go on - he was an amazing boffin too - I can’t understand anything in this research that was published:

Eleanor Coppola RIP

Sounds like a top guy. My condolences to you and yours. RIP.

Frank Field, long serving Labour MP and a lifelong campaigner against the blight of poverty.

Just heard the news, RIP Frank, highest regard for your principles

https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/24/frank-field-former-labour-minister-and-anti-poverty-campaigner-dies-aged-81

a man of often uncomfortable principle [who] made our politics better

RIP Frank Field. The Today programme this morning played the speech he made in 2017, where he re-counted talking a man out of suicide at his surgery, and went on to detail the utter poverty of some of his constituents. Brought a tear to my eye.

EDIT. In fact the Today programme played the clip that's in the Guardian link above

As a constituent i can contest to his values particularly around the time of thatcher wanting to close cammel lairds . Their are no labour in the area worthy of taking over.
