It honestly seems like what the UK government really wants is to part out the valuable bits of public property that you have left, sell them out to a foreign investor, and then stack the chairs and shut the country down as a going concern.

drat, does it really?

Did the Daniel Morgan murder have anything to do with no cing? I assume so which is why once he got the slightest bit of fame brown moses never mentioned it again

the met's coverup might have been slapstick levels of incompetent, taking years and multiple enquiries to find a trustable stooge that wasn't invoicing MyCrimes.Txt to NOTW up til the day they were appointed to whichever investigation, but the fact that everything just went back to normal after Rees' short prison stay does make you think that nobody was stupid/suicidal enough to let some rando PIs have access to anything that would attract interest from the intelligence services. It was all tabloid poo poo, so the murder may have been as simple as "Morgan had enough evidence to nail a bunch of people running a criminal extortion ring against MPs and royals".

Alan Holmes looks way more like the sort of tragic and unforseeable suicide that occus when you have evidence of something a nation state does not want you to have evidence of

At least using the US definition, the baby boom was 46-64 so the youngest boomers are almost 60. 50 year olds are firmly GenX.

Not that it matters in the UK you're all just elizabethans lol
