Dick, I don't think anyone is going to disagree that the Royal Family is extremely wealthy, but that seems to be getting away from what you first asked, which (if I understand correctly) is whether Edward Heath was a paedophile rapist and mass-murderer. The idea is preposterous, as are all of Icke's ludicrous fantasies.

Some years ago I read a great sci-fi short story. Following a TV hypnotist programme in which everyone watching is hypnotised, the hypnotist orders everyone to "wake up". One person watching wakes up completely, and immediately discovers the world is being run by a bunch of loathsome lizards from another galaxy who have hypnotised humans into perceiving them as fellow humans. It's obviously where Icke got his hilarious theory from, but as my reading the story pre-dates it by many years I have no details of author or date of publication. Can anyone help with that?
