David Icke is he for real or a conman?

Yes I know this, but there has to be a reason why God designed things in such a way.

Then a) why did you ask? and b) as you must know God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform.

Icke is wonderful. Just because he speaks quite well, looks smart and
clean-cut does not stop him from being a complete fruitcake !!! I love
British eccentrics. Icke is up there with the best. Not since the Vicar of
Stiffkey preached in a lion`s den on Blackpool Pier and got eaten by one
them have we had such a delightful nutter !

In the interests of accuracy I would like to point out that Harold Davidson was the Rector not Vicar, of Stiffkey, and he had left Blackpool as he considered it to be vulgar. He moved to Skegness where he would preach for 10 minutes outside the animals cage and then enter it to re-enact 'Daniel in the Lions Den' for a few minutes. On the fatal night, one of the Lions, Freddie, became agitated perhaps by the cracking of the whip by the very young lion tamer, and grabbed Davidson by the neck, dragging him round the cage. He died two days later, not helped by an erroneously injected dose of insulin. Over 3000 people attended his funeral on the 3rd of august 1937.

Whilst Rector, and before his defrocking, he would make a habit of travelling to London to seek out and save young women whom he thought were at risk of falling into vice. Though honourable in his dealings he did manage to be caught in compromising situations quite often, not unlike in a Brian Rix Whitehall Farce, and it was a gutter press photo of him with a scantily clad girl that prompted his bishop to bring proceedings in ecclesiastical court. Davidson was found guilty and defrocked.
