Keith Allen is stark raving mad isn't he? He made a Diana conspiracy documentary,

Five years ago. How did I not know?

I'm watching it with my jaw on the table.

I mean mad as in actually David Icke level delusional.

I'm probably the last person on the net to see it Grin

Maybe not then. Maybe I'm the only sap drunk enough to have watched it at all Grin

I'll be watching this later!!

That's my Christmas viewing sorted Man. Grin

Go on, give me the top 3 outrageous Icke-esque claims..

Manumission · 24/12/2016 08:09

It was actually hilarious but in a very scary way.

Quite a lot of recognisable people with professional reputations on there as talking heads taking it all seriously (Laurie Taylor and Oliver James for example).

I'm disturbed enough that I'm hoping someone will come and explain that it's a spoof.

It's well known that Prince Phillip is an actual Nazi.
Anything with 'Royal' in the name such as 'Royal Courts of Justice' is under Royal control and therefore nor impartial.
British journalists are handed a script to report from by their paymasters and don't actually think because they are expressly paid NOT to.

That kind of thing. It's all a bit of a blur.

If you think journalists aren't working to the creative criteria of the people who own their newspapers then YABU.

Manumission · 24/12/2016 08:30

Well he seems to think that reports of verdicts are written before the verdicts are read, so he's pushing the point considerably Smile

The "reconstructions" of press tents are a bit much too.

OP posts:
Manumission · 24/12/2016 08:32

(And I don't think he means advance copies)

Watch it for yourself. It's interesting whether you're tinfoil hayride or not I'd have thought Smile

Yabu. Just because someone has different opinions to yours, doesn't mean they're stark raving mad.

BrightonBelleCat · 24/12/2016 09:03

I can't watch it. Says it's unavailable. Will have a hunt.

Manumission · 24/12/2016 09:06

Except when it does Daffy Smile I'm just surprised by it.

Try this Brighton

It can't have been shown in the U.K.

He'd have been sued into oblivion.

This documentary has been around for years. It's been banned in the UK and whenever it appears on Youtube it's quickly deleted. Make of that what you will.....l

GravyAndShite · 24/12/2016 09:26

YABU - freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of opinion.

These are liberties, not symptoms of craziness.

Manumission · 24/12/2016 09:27

I thought it must be me who had missed a trick. I'm just having a second watch. I'm not remotely surprised it is deleted regularly. There must be regiments of expensive lawyers on the case.

OP posts:
Manumission · 24/12/2016 09:30

Well I'm at liberty to join Icke in his belief that HMQ is a shape shifter lizard too gravy. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't simultaneously a barking mad belief.

I'm not disputing KA's right to believe certain things. Although actually a lot of what he's saying on this film is pretty clearly legally actionable by others. So it's a mixed picture in terms of freedoms.

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 24/12/2016 09:32

YABU and naive. And what GravyAndShite said.

Manumission · 24/12/2016 09:35

Have you watched it eyebrows?

Do you think his analysis is correct?

OP posts:
Boundaries · 24/12/2016 09:36

Oliver James? But he's dead sensible...

Boundaries · 24/12/2016 09:38

Ooh. I like a banned film.

Makes me feel like I'm still a carefree young rebel.

CaoNiMerrilyOnHigh · 24/12/2016 09:40

I wouldn't say he's mad, necessarily. Diana's death seemed awfully convenient...

Manumission · 24/12/2016 09:40

Oliver James is apparently the one who has diagnosed Prince Philip as a psychopath. Laurie Taylor chatting away about how Muhammed al Fayed has been confounded by the courts like a latter day Shylock (loonggg comparison, that one).

I'm goggling, I tell you.

ScrambledSmegs · 24/12/2016 09:41

Haha! I used to work with someone who believed all this shite. Takes me back Grin

Worth posting this again, I think.
