Ian Cameron, David Cameron's father, dies after having a stroke.

That is WEAK! But still a valid point I guess.

Another point for me (even if it is a few days old). Clive Donner, British film director.

That is WEAK! But still a valid point I guess.

In all honesty, I agree that it is weak. But so are most of the others in this topic, and this one is interesting in that it will affect the country a little, what with David Cameron missing PM's Questions.

I'm counting it :--D
