BNP founder Tyndall dies aged 71
"British National Party founder John Tyndall, 71, has been found dead at his home in Hove, Sussex police have said.

A veteran of the right-wing fringe of British politics, Mr Tyndall chaired the National Front, leaving in 1980.

He was due to appear in court this Thursday in Leeds alongside BNP leader Nick Griffin on race hate charges.

Sussex Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Mr Tyndall's death which was reported at 0815 BST on Tuesday. "

Hmmmmm....not sure whether to be gutted that he's cheated justice or just chuffed that this racist bastard isn't around to spread hate any more.....

1. Is it wrong to be disappointed that there were no "suspicious
circumstances"? Murder would have been such a fitting end.

2. Would murder be counted as suspicious?
Reminds me of the old Steven Wright joke (I think)....

"It was a natural death....he got hit by a train."
"What do you mean, 'a natural death'???"
"He got hit by a train - naturally he was going to die."

Or something like that.

3. It's times like this I really wish i were religious
Because the idea of that hate-mongering fucker rotting in hell really would give me some satisfaction.

Although a lot of Tory right wingers are probably sadder about this than about Ted Heath's passing.

5. Of course there are suspicious circumstances about his death ...
... like, why did the evil old bastard not die a long time ago?

I'm agnostic about an afterlife, but the image of the reception committee Tyndall would get will cheer me for the rest of the day.

Good riddance.
