It’s mostly England but other places have similar issues.

What you can say about a still living person is more limited.

I think it was just a very unfortunate thing. I don’t think anyone organised a guy to be doing a robbery then driving recklessly to escape it.

As for Mr Justice Caulfield's summing up to the jury:- "Is he in need of cold, unloving, rubber-insulated sex in a seedy hotel round about quarter to one on a Tuesday morning after an evening at the Caprice?" (No, I didn't write that line for him. 🤭 ) #JeffreyArcher

A cartoon saying Sometimes when a person dies, others will say “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”
Second part says, “but that’s bullshit and this guy was a fucking Cunt”

From @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social, an accurate obit of the vile Jeffrey Archer. He was utter scum. "Archer’s whole career was an exercise in selling piss but the obits are straining to persuade us that it was champagne." brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/here-lies-...

A rather more honest Jeffrey Archer obituary by @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social I kept coming back to Coghlan: "You're a liar. He's a liar and he knows it. He's even putting his wife through it. I've got nothing he's got money. I can't even go back to work" brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/here-lies-...

Well, I was only three at the time of the original libel trial but, you know, I have access to research material.

It is wild to me that this report from the Daily Star on his death doesn’t mention Jeffrey Archer’s time in prison seeing as it was his false libel action against that paper that ultimately led to it. www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-...

Me and Jeffrey Archer, as I try to earwig his conversation after he was let out of jail to attend his Mum's funeral. They milked as much publicity out of it as they possibly could, it was a very odd day.

The miniseries is enjoyable. The book is still terrible because he composed sentences with all the poise of me trying to do grouting.
