It's News Guys, But Not As We Know it!

[BIAD]

It's a doozy and has been brewing quietly for some time. A couple of days ago, the British media announced that three
'Cluedo' cards from the popular game had been discovered during a Daily Mail investigation of the mystery surrounding
the supposed-murderer Lord Lucan.

This Earl of Lucan-chap back in the seventies was alleged to have killed his family's nanny and then done a runner after
faking his death. It's really a mundane page-turner, but for the elite-class-disliking UK public, the MSM at the time believed
it was intriguing and happened in London -to boot! (London is where everyone lives who isn't a peasant in the media's eyes.)

Back then, the papers had no interest in Lord Lucan (or Baron Bingham, Baron Lucan, Baronet Bingham of Castlebar) until
the night he supposedly bludgeoned to death his wife's 29-year-old house-help by mistake in the basement of the Lucan home.
Apparently, it's believed his target with a piece of lead-pipe was Lady Lucan -his wife and mother of his three children.

Anyway, the globe-trotting degenerate gambler who lived the high-life, held a fancy five-storey home in London and spent
his nights throwing away his money on backgammon and bridge and vroom-vrooming around in his Austin Martin, knew he
had screwed-up big-time and realised he had to get away.

The media then went into full sensationalising-mode and the same assumed-enthralled disadvantaged low-born were given
an insight to what the rich-and-famous enjoyed as everyday living. They told how Lucan's disraught wife had fought with her
husband after the dastardly deed and how he'd convinced Veronica to give him some time to escape his bloody actions in
the basement. Lady Lucan later walked into a nearby Pub and from that moment, the balloon went up.

2022.
The Daily Mail have an exclusive... because they always have an exclusive, regardless whether the story is interesting or not.

"EXCLUSIVE: Colonel Mustard in the hall, with the lead piping:
The Cluedo cards found in Lord Lucan's car that eerily describe the murder of the family nanny... so was it a bizarre confession,
twisted joke, or an attempt to frame the infamous fugitive"
Archived Daily Mail Article:

It was stated that Scotland Yard had discovered these playing cards in the Earl of Lucan's abandoned vehicle and they 'seemed'
to indicate his part in the nanny's killing. Then two days after the supposed research of a recently-released Scotland Yard's cold
case review, The Mirror announced they've actually found the culprit who'd coshed Sandra Rivett on the head back in 1974 and
he was living in Australia!
Dumb Keystone Cops with their silly helmets... if they'd only asked the media.

What does all this mean...? Well, it's something that could either be a mere column-filler for ratings -instead of writing insulting
innuendos about their new Prime Minister or this could be the real deal. Please Lucy, don't move the ball away this time?

Here's the piece.

EXCLUSIVE: Lord Lucan breakthrough as mystery man's face is EXACT match for missing killer
22:00, 6 Nov 2022 UPDATED 23:01, 6 Nov 2022

'A facial recognition expert says an elderly man living in Australia is a definite match for runaway murderer Lord Lucan.
Lucan killed a nanny and vanished in 1974. Professor Hassan Ugail says the algorithm linking Lucan to a man in Oz,
blurred for legal reasons, is “never wrong”.


It's unbelievable, but it's science.

The leading computer scientist used an artificial intelligence algorithm to run 4,000 cross-checks of seven photos – four
of Lucan and three of the mystery pensioner in Australia. The expert, who ID-ed two of the Russians behind the Salisbury
Skripal poisonings, said: “They produced a match. This isn’t an opinion, it’s science and mathematical fact.”

Monday – November 7 – is the 48th anniversary of the day Lucan murdered family nanny Sandra Rivett.
The aristocrat disappeared the following day. Friends claimed that he jumped off a cross-channel ferry but his body was
never found. Lucan would now be 87 – the same age as the frail man living in a small town just outside Brisbane, capital
of the state of Queensland.

Four of the photos analysed were of Lucan – from a 14-year-old boy until his disappearance – and three of the mystery man
in Australia tracked down by Rivett’s son Neil Berriman. Mr Berriman said: “I’ve spent nine years trying to prove this man is
Lucan. Now, with this new scientific information, the police must act.
“This isn’t emotion. It’s fact.”

Prof Ugail’s startling findings will send shockwaves through the British establishment.
The analysis carried out by Ugail, Professor of Visual Computing at the University of Bradford, included micro-millimetre
measurements of spaces between facial features. Ugail has spent 20 years developing his artificial intelligence algorithm.
A second company, a highly respected US firm, ran the same tests and came to the same conclusion.

Prof Ugail said: “In recent years there has been a massive imp-rovement in artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology.
“We can now confirm things that would have been impossible just five years ago. We’ve compared thousands and thousands
of people and there have been literally millions of photos that we’ve analysed using the algorithm.
“It has never been wrong. “This algorithm has been trained on millions of photos.

“People of different ethnicities, different ages – the only time it will fail is if you put in identical twins. It only takes a few minutes
to run it and it comes back with a percentage – a ‘similarity index’. “Even if you put two exact images of the same person, you are
never going to get 100% similarity because of the way images are taken – pixels and everything else.
“Anything with a similarity index of 75% or higher is conclusively the same individual.

“The lowest score I got was around 76. I think the highest was 88.” When Mr Berriman initially contacted Prof Ugail, he did not
tell him about who he suspected was in the pictures. Prof Ugail, who grew up in the Maldives, said: “Now that I know more about
this Lord Lucan case I’m very pleased that I said ‘yes’. “It wasn’t a story I was particularly interested in, or a more recent one like
Madeleine McCann. “I had heard of Lord Lucan but knew very little about the case.”

Lady Lucan – Veronica Bingham – fled from her house in Belgravia, central London, covered in blood on November 7, 1974.
Safe in a nearby pub, the Plumbers Arms, she told how she had heard screams from the basement, and found her husband there.
She said he attacked her. His car, its interior stained with blood, was later found abandoned in Newhaven, East Sussex. A piece of
bandaged lead pipe was found in the boot.

In 1975, an inquest jury found Lord Lucan – formerly John Bingham – to be responsible for Sandra Rivett’s death. Her body was
found in his home. Lucan was declared legally dead in 2016. Lady Lucan had three children, Frances, George and Camilla.
She committed suicide in 2017, aged 80, after wrongly diagnosing herself with Parkinson’s disease.

Prof Ugail said of his facial recognition system: “It’s actually the culmination of 15 to 20 years of work with a lot of people in our
lab, not just me, my academic colleagues, 15 to 20 PhD students. There has been millions of pounds of research money that came
into the visual computing related research I do, part of which is this face recognition algorithm...'

The rest of the article is back-patting about the Skripal investigation and how Ugail's facial recognition system is cool.
But as you can see, the likeness is uncanny.


(But also notice the hyphen in the word 'improvement'... This was supposed to be a quote from the Professor, why insert that?)
