 Upon returning from Japan recently, like you, I have only just come to terms with the death of Wacko Jacko (aka Michael Jackson) and now, like a hammer blow, we learn that members of his entourage secretly plotted against the singer’s closest confidant - Bubbles the chimp - for years. Bubbles was banned from his master’s funeral because he is “too violent”. But the reason Bubbles is violent is that he clearly knows something. And the last thing the Jacko circus wanted at the funeral was a furious monkey leaping up and down, screaming and pointing an accusing finger at any one of Jackson’s retinue of shady quacks, spoon-bending spiritual advisers, skin-bleaching operatives etc.
Indeed when it looked like the Rev Al Sharpton wasn't going to be invited to the funeral, he immediately began making wild claims that Bubbles was linked to organised crime and a member of a very obscure Ukrainian branch of the KluKlux Klan.
In the madcap world of Jacko, Bubbles was a rare voice of common sense.
