Pop Spencer spotted in the Guardian’s G2 section last Wednesday:
Pop Spencer comments: ‘Harold Wilson died on 24th May, 1995, so I’m not sure how he managed the announcement. It’s been changed on the website, but that’s likely to be because readers are the new editors.’ It’s not, of course, possible to tell if 1996 here represents a factual or a typographical error.
The text is the subheading for an article entitled ‘Are spooks bugging politicians?’ (also different on the web version). Given the ‘beyond the grave’ echo here, spooks seems a strangely apt, if accidental, pun.
Wilson comments in 1996 (having died in ’95)
