Ed Does anyone here believe that Princess Diana's car crash was suspicious?

[Carrot Flower King]

Looks like this thread opened the door for our resident conspiracy fantasist's conspiracy of the year. Not sure I am up to following this one. The humor quality is not what it once was.

Sorry!

Do I need to up the standard of my mockery and silliness?

I shall get my ticket working thoroughly.

The best answer I can give you is, I don't know <shrug>. I was simply drawing attention to people's lack of logic.

The only person drawing a connection between the seatbelt and surveillance is you. And then you blame everyone else for drawing this connection. You are completely backwards on this.

But what else is new?

 

[Vixen]

The only lack of logic is your own.

Have you heard of William of Ockham?

Strangely, I have.

Does anyone else have any pearls of wisdom for me?

Yes, any British SS activity in France would be MI6, not MI5

The inquiry said it was an accident. If there was MI5 involvement they are hardly going to say so are they?

But of course it turns out you were just imagining the lack of logic.

If there was any evidence the deaths were caused by anything other than the drunk driver's loss of control I would expect the inquiry to report that.

The conspiracists' suspicions all seem to be about motive. The main sticking point for me is method. How would anyone, outside of movie fantasy, be able to predictably and reliably make what happened happen?

I thought the mystery motorcyclist was the one that made the car crash somehow.

So you keep saying.

And yet you seem reluctant to apply his famous shaving tool. The death of Diana is adequately explained by the known circumstances. Without any evidence, you want to bring in a conspiracy theory.

You can easily find youtube videos of vehicles driving other vehicles off the road.

But you are ahead of me .

 

[Jack by the hedge]

So you keep saying.

And? Would it be M15 instead of MI5 or MI6?

How do you work that out?

Apart from some claims of a 'mystery motorcycle' what other vehicle was there?

That would be a poster desperately tying to make out he's the teacher and I've come to school.

I am laughing so hard I am gasping for breath.

I dunno, the whole freaking thing has been discussed to death already.

I read your posts.

"The targets will be in an armoured S-class Mercedes. With luck, we'll correctly predict their route and at some point they'll overtake you, probably at speed. If you see them coming and swerve your little Fiat at just the right moment as they pass, the driver may flinch and lose control.

Everyone knows these enormous Mercedes saloons are a death trap. Most unsafe cars on the road. Especially the ones modified to provide extra protection to high value individuals. They haven't a chance. Oh, so long as none of them wears a seatbelt. Probably be fine."

Something like that, you reckon? That's their brilliant plan?

You're welcome. I'm both amused and curious because as I recall it's not the first time you've writted "em fifteen" instead of "em eye five" and it seems a very odd idiosyncracy.

Anyone actually *see* where the were Clintons that night?

Sounds like something Natasha and Boris would discard as too unlikely...
