Conspiracy or Insanity?

Just stumbled across a very bizarre article on the blog of Charlie Stross (a most excellent author indeed). The post is a write-up of a most bizarre incidence that happened the other night in the House of Lords wheren the normally relatively sane and respectable Lord James of Blackheath claimed that he had been approached by ‘Foundation X’ offering to pay £5 billion to the British government for reasons unknown. It makes very odd reading indeed. The video is here (starts around 2hr30mins-ish) and it’s starting to get picked up elsewhere.  He makes other odd claims too including predicting a second financial collapse in the second week of February next year.  Very odd.
