This one for the true Connoisseurs.. Look up the story of Michael X aka Abdul Malik in the history of TnT.. a man who rubbed shoulders with Malcolm X and John Lennon among others and eventually found his end at the hangmans rope, some say justifiably, some say he was set up Michael X is a secondary character in the film The Bank Job (2008), a dramatisation of a real-life bank robbery in 1971. The film claims that Michael X was in possession of indecent photographs of Princess Margaret and used them to avoid criminal prosecution by threatening to publish them. He was played by Peter de Jersey. Michael X is the subject of the essay Michael X and the Black Power Killings in Trinidad by V.S. Naipaul, collected in The Return of Eva Perón and the Killings in Trinidad (1980), and is also believed to be the model for the fictional character Jimmy Ahmed in Naipauls 1975 novel Guerrillas. Michael X and his trial are the subject of a chapter in Geoffrey Robertsons legal memoir The Justice Game. Michael X plays a part in Make Believe: A True Story, a memoir by Diana Athill. Michael X is the eponymous title of a play, by the writer Vanessa Walters, that takes the form of a 1960s black power rally and was performed at The Tabernacle Theatre, Powis Square, London W11 (Notting Hill), in November 2008.
