Michael Barrymore - 25 years ago today

North London (outer)

Following a party at Barrymore's house in Essex in the early hours of 31 March 2001, a 31-year-old man, Stuart Lubbock, was discovered uncon*cious in Barrymore's swimming pool. Three witnesses – including Barrymore – claimed to have found him motionless in the pool. Witnesses disagreed on whether Lubbock was found floating on top of the pool or at the bottom. Barrymore had said he was on top of the pool. Lubbock, described as a "bubbly partygoer", had traces of drugs including alcohol in his system. In the postmortem, pathologists discovered severe anal injuries, which several experts, including senior Home Office pathologist Nathaniel Cary, later agreed were consistent with a sexual assault.

Despite years of lengthy investigations and private prosecutions, no one has been convicted of an offence in relation to this death.

Barrymore sprang to mind because of the current Scott Mills story. I googled him and it's a total coincidence that the events described above took place exactly 25 years ago. It doesn't seem that long.

My theory is that one if not more of the others tried to fuck him, either with their cocks or some other implement. We will never know if that was consensual or not.

High levels of alcohol, ecstasy, and cocaine were found in his bloodstream, the same could probably be said about the other people there. I doubt any of them had any clear recollection of what happened.

Turns out unlimited booze and druugs, then sticking large objects up your arse followed by a swim is fraught with potential danger.

They should do a "Charley Says" public information film about it.

The “Charley Says” films were counter-productive. I was much more interested in men with caps who might show me puppies after that one.

The terrifying ones were those austere public service docu-danger ones with the portentous voice-over. I remember how alarmed I was as a kiddy at the public service film about the dangers of escalators and the furry rabbit being ripped asunder. I was freaked out about standing near the edges of escalators for years.

One of those done about the dangers of pool thermometers perforating your rectum would certainly make more children sit up and take note.

I never found Charley a believable or trustworthy character. Weird gestures and mannerisms. I suspect end-stage toxoplasmosis or tweaking from cat-nip withdrawal.

Oh I haven’t thought about that one for years.

You could never make that today - today’s children would need therapy and damages if you showed them that in class.

When I watched the documentary they did a few years ago the conclusion I came to - although there is no hard evidence to prove it - was that it could only have been Barrymore himself who was the murderer. Given how desperate he has been to restart his career since then, and given the kind of resources he would have access to (not just money, but connections), if it was someone else by now Barrymore should have been able to persuade that person to confess on the promise of top class legal support, claim it was manslaughter and be out in a couple of years, full support when you come out, etc. The fact that he hasn't done that only makes me think the other people at the party were not to blame. And claims about the body being interfered with at the morgue have been comprehensively disproved.

Of course they foolishly stuck Barrymore into Celebrity No-hoper Big Brother where he very ostentatiously couldn’t get into the jacuzzi pool with everyone else (despite it being about all of two foot deep) as he kept saying stridently “I can’t swim!” [my lawyers suggested this = “I didn’t get into the pool and bugger that man with the pool thermometer, honest!”]

It's been a while since I've read such absolute nonsense, you clearly have no grasp of how a case like this would be dealt with.

For one it wasn't murder, the inquest returned with an open verdict. Lubbock's father later attempted a private prosecution, thrown out of court by a district judge, who ruled that Barrymore had no case to answer.

No matter how much money Barrymore had at the time, and I doubt it was that much, none of it was going to buy his career back.

The gramophone record would probably be Flanders & Swann "The Reluctant Cannibal". This was long thought to be a humorous song intended for the entertainment of returned British ex-imperialists, nostalgic for their days as colonial rulers.

It is however now well established that these records were in fact produced as missionary propaganda, dropped by air to prepare and pacify the natives before the missionaries went in and put "Sandals On The Ground"

The more subscribers he has the more percentage he gets,at the moment he's got around 4.2 million followers on TikTok and 125000 on YouTube.
