A bad actor.
The BBC are leading with "Kissinger: Divisive diplomat who shaped world affairs". The determination to stay unbiased is admirable, but we are talking about the man that deliberately destabilised the Middle East / Africa, causing war and global terrorism, so that America could control the price of oil and metals here. Divisive indeed.
Good job Pfizer killing another one.
Played up his accent in later life too the big murdering fanny.
Another one who I was sure must have died years ago.
Fuck Kissinger, Jimmy Corkhill's died.
The hearses are coooomin.
I'm told Shane Macgowan has finally gone.
Jesus. Some day.
If you think about all the people we've heard of who are still alive, it's going to be a rough 40 years or so ahead. They'll be dying faster than we can put the coffins together.
Vaccine on fire today.
What did this Kissinger lad do that was so bad? For a place that would be apoligist for almost any dictator/serial killer etc, there seems to be a fair bit of bad sentment towards him.
Let's see, illegal bombing of Laos and Cambodia plus a secret invasion of the latter. Hindu genocide in Bangladesh. Scuppering the Vietnam peace talks to further election chances. Coups against progressive regimes in Chile and Brazil as well as using death squads across central America to murder civilians and clergy. Not to mention absolutely disastrous meddling in middle eastern politics. A right cunt in every respect.
These are his greatest hits:
But he also has his finger prints all over various African Civil Wars, and the power dynamics of the Middle East. The likes of Isis and Boko Haram wouldn't exist - or atleast, wouldn't be at all powerful - without him.
We're all anti-Semites for daring to criticise.
On that didn't he also say if he wasn't Jewish he would be an anti-semite? No smoke without fire or something like that, classic fascist position.
That's very Suella Braverman.
Kissinger was also a huge player in the Turkish-Cypriot invasion.
Wouldn't have happened without the prick.
Alistair Darling dead today as well. Big day for famous deaths.
Anthony Bourdain on Kissinger:
Jimmy is going to need some more candles.
(War criminal) game recognise (war criminal) game:
I've cut out the middle man and set the house on fire. It's what at least some of them would have wanted.
Shane MacGowan
I would have said he was already if you had asked
Sticky Vicky as well. A truly momentous day.

I never had the pleasure.
Its all Sex on a Segway now.
I saw about her on Twitter yesterday, so sadly she's not to be included in the scenes of Tyrant Thursday. Which is a shame really, as they could have popped a candle up her as a last hurrah.
Benjamin Zephaniah.
When I was in primary school I had a mate who lived on a farm, and his dad sold Turkeys at Christmas. My mum gave him a Talking Turkeys Christmas card one year and he was properly seething.
Andre Braugher aka Captain Holt.
Short illness strikes again.
Guardian going with 'brief illness', which in my imagination sounds like a 24 hour journey from bouncy castle to grave after a slight afternoon sniffle.
My elderly neighbour quite recently had a 'short illness' journey. 21 days days from diagnosis to death. Alarming.
Not famous though, I don't think.
I'll never forget the one like that we had at work. Guy felt run down for a little while until one day his mate told him he looked unwell. Got into the doctor the next day who had him take a blood test. Doctor rang him back a day or so later saying we need to see you. He went okay book me in for next week some time and he got the response of no, we need to see you today.
When he got to them they told him he'd be lucky if he had months left and that he should get his affairs in order. He was in a hospice by the end of the week and I don't think he lasted there for more than 2 weeks before he was gone. He thought they were just going to tell him he'd had a virus and he'd be fine.
Merry Christmas!
Zak Dingle.
Isn't he a distant relative of Lewis?
Soz, *wasn't. RIP.
I met big Zak once. He was an egotistical cunt.
Zak Dingle ranting in Threads is top tier! Bastards!
Christmas cancelled
I bet at least one parent was cursing him after for ruining the magic.
Of course it was in Russia.
Many thought the fall was part of the act and did not realise he had died right away.
Lee Sun-kyun, killed himself in a car park.
Starred in Parasite, R-Point and some other stuff.
Because he's being investigated for smoking weed, apparently.
Good old Korean weirdness.
I see Bill Granger's gone as well.
Normally a real big one to get stuck into over Christmas. Very disappointing.
Tom Wilkinson aka Gerald from The Full Monty, 75.
Ah shit, I really liked him, tremendous actor. A sudden death apparently.
John Pilger, 84.
