So, does anyone know the schedule for SKY News tomorrow? When will Tony Blair leave Downing Street?

Just came across some clips of Sky News on YouTube, including one announcing the death of a Sky correspondent, James Furlong.
Forgive my ignorance, but what actually happened to him? For some reason, this is one particular news item that I missed. I recall James presenting a number of mainly Royal stories some five years ago, approx. I had no idea he had passed away.

From what i can remember he commited suicide after it came to light that he had produced a fake report on the Iraq War. Something like that.

I seem to remember it all centred on James pretending to be live, on board a British sub during the war. It later transcended that he'd filmed the footage (of missles being fired) a few days earlier.

I think he was making out the sub was at war firing real missiles when in fact it was at dockside, waiting to goto war. The missiles fired in his report were library images.

James Furlong was forced to resign from Sky News for having faked a news report about the Iraq War. He later applied for a new position, Press Secretary to the Prince of Wales but was unsuccessful in winning it. As a result, James Furlong committed suicide in October 2003 by hanging himself. He was 44.

Yes, he was holding it quite far away from him so I bet its tiring. I noticed the previous Sky News logo on it. Hows he going to flip the board that he's holding on if he needs to?
