ROBIN COOK QUIT OVER A WAR DIED ON A SCOTTISH HILL AND THE CASE CLOSED BEFORE TEA TIME
Robin Cook spent his career being right at the worst possible time for his career.
In March 2003 he resigned as Leader of the Commons rather than back the Iraq War. His resignation speech got a standing ovation from MPs on all sides, something that had never happened in the chamber before.
He spent the next two years telling anyone who would listen that Tony Blair had marched Britain into a war built on nothing.
Two years later he was dead.
6 August 2005. Ben Stack, a remote mountain in Sutherland. Cook collapsed of a heart attack while hillwalking with his wife Gaynor, fell down a ridge, and was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, where he was pronounced dead within the hour.
The post mortem two days later gave the cause as hypertensive heart disease. Police on the scene treated it as a medical matter and that was the end of their involvement.
No inquest reopening. No criminal inquiry. Just a senior politician who had publicly humiliated the government over an illegal war, dropping dead in one of the most remote spots in the country, with the official file shut almost as fast as it was opened.
Norman Baker, the Lib Dem MP and later Home Office minister who spent years digging into the death of weapons inspector David Kelly, said in 2007 that Cook had been on Ministry of Defence linked land when he died and that he had real doubts about the official account.
He got called a conspiracy theorist for asking the question. Funny how that label only gets handed out to the people asking questions, never to the people refusing to answer them.
Then there is the bit nobody mentions enough. Starting in 2020, someone filed Freedom of Information requests with Police Scotland asking for the basic details of that day.
What time officers were alerted. Whether witnesses were interviewed. Whether the people who came to help Gaynor Cook were ever identified. Police Scotland refused. The case went to the Scottish Information Commissioner, who in 2021 and again in 2022 sided with the police and let them keep it sealed under a legal exemption.
So twenty years on, the basic facts of how a former Foreign Secretary actually died on a hillside are still officially none of your business.
That is not evidence of a murder BUT it is evidence of an institution that would rather you stop asking than ever have to answer.
Britain does not need conspiracy theories when the real story is this embarrassing on its own.

Good morning people how about we all mount a sustained attack on Chris Mason in the same way he attacked Kier Starmer.
We make his tenure at the BBC impossible.
At least we can justify our claims of bias and incompetence.

YOU ARE THE WEAKEST BBC EMPLOYEE: GOODBYE!
MAKE A BBC EMPLOYEE DO THE WALK OF SHAME😱
Which one of these BBC employees do you think played the biggest part in the mainstream media campaign that helped to bring down Sir Keir Starmer?🤔

Whenever John Major has the temerity to sneer at other politicians for making buses run more efficiently, or lecture us as if he is some sage on what needs to be done, just rewatch this. If only we’d have had PM
John Smith and not PM John Major.
I am no longer a member of @UKLabour
I am horrified that the party will almost certainly anoint Burnham without any due process and therefore no vote put to the rank and file.
Also, the lack of loyalty to a man, Keir Starmer, that delivered such a stonking victory in 2024 that enabled so many to take their seat in parliament is totally unacceptable to me.
Labour have fucked up - big time.
I can no longer support it financially through my membership fees.
