Richard West RIIP: Wright: Writing the Right Rite... in the West

The Deaths in 2015 site lists under April 25:
No doubt his death was "timely"... he was a journalist after all, a group that have been targeted as of late, butt there is so much more, incojding his name Richard ... his surname West and his age at death being 84... all of these hold tell-tale clues of inner twin infiltration in the life and times of Richard West.  I won't go into detail except to say: read my recent posts and you'll come to know at least half of it.

On reading West's wiki page I came to the following excerpt:
The Manchester Guardian is a lead, and so venturing to its wiki page I noted the following:
  • Scott supported the movement for women's suffrage, but was critical of any tactics by the Suffragettes that involved direct action:[24] 
You don't often hear about the Suffragettes, so time is a changing for sure.  So following the lead, note the following:
  • WSPU instituted a society of women known as "The Bodyguard" whose role was to physically protect Emmeline Pankhurst and other prominent suffragettes from arrest and assault. Known Bodyguard members included Katherine Willoughby Marshall and Gertrude HardingEdith Margaret Garrud served as their jujutsu trainer.
Note from Garrud's wiki page:
  • In 1899, the Garruds were introduced to the art of jujutsu by Edward William Barton-Wright, the first jujutsu teacher in Europe and the founder of the eclectic martial art of Bartitsu
So the surname "Wright" is something I've taken artistic licensing with in place of "write the right rite".  You'll have to read my posts to figure out how this came about.  Note from Wright's wiki page:
Born8 November 1860
Bangalore, India
Died26 April 1951 (aged 90)
United Kingdom

Note his date of death... Today is April 26... so "timely" I would say!!
