Re post above: I avoid, as is known, even reading posts from the egregious Mather, let alone responding; but as I have said before, one's own name leaps out, and one has read before being aware who the poster is, which is what has happened here; and for once in a way, I feel a response to the general point is required in my own interests.

Far from being a pushover for trendy conspiracy theories, I despise pretty well every one of them. I am sure that Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon not on the Utah desert. I am convinced that Myra Hindley died in Holloway & was buried, and that they didn't surreptitiously release her and bury a coffin full of bricks because they knew that public opinion would not countenance her ever getting out...

Nevertheless: as to both Marilyn Monroe & ex-Princess Diana, OTOH, their deaths were just too peculiarly convenient to certain well-placed personages, and both died in a fashion that any apprentice special-agent could engineer in his sleep; to say nothing of such awkward questions as, would a trusted and experienced professional driver ever have allowed himself to get drunk while at work with a distinguished passenger, unless his drinks had been spiked or interfered with in some way? So I continue, to put it no higher, to suspect that both these not dissimilar deaths were probably not accidental or suicidal, but contrived. That is the current limit of my alleged addiction to belief in any such nefarious phenomena.
