A deathbed confession like this one is worth nothing at all. Easy to say a man dying just looking to be remembered in name. He picks something big to claim he done. Proof? There will be none at all. Is a worthless confession. I recall here in Ireland, Gerry Adams been arrested because of a deathbed confession by a woman in the US. Former IRA member. She said a lot. But again there was no proof at all. Police had to let him out after a few days of questioning. What was thought there was that she didn't like the peace agreement. Still wanted the IRA to fight on. Why not make claims about Gerry Adams and try and disrupt the whole peace process.
I am sure people will ask questions in the UK. That exact same theory we have heard since day 1. Now he says it just before he dies. Bring it back into the minds of people again. Pointless without anything to back it up. MI5 will make it vanish. Simply deny it and him. People will soon forget about it. Except those theory people. Be interesting to hear if it gets much press or news time in the UK. Let us know.
