Controversy
In August 1991 in a bizarre interview with the Daily Mirror, conspiracy theorist David Icke accused Feast of being a high level member of the New World Order, a supposed group that works under the orders of alienoid shape shifting lizards and secretly rules the world. Icke explained that it's not just politicians involved in such an undertaking, but "entertainers as well". "They help condition people for the moment when the reality of their predicament is exposed" he said, "so people like Fred Feast, I know he's a bit washed up now, but he was big in the 80s thanks to his role in Coronation Street, would be subliminally laying the foundations for the acceptance of the human race's rule by aliens". Speculating on Feast's then recent fall from grace, Icke said that he had perhaps displeased his lizard paymasters. He did add, however, that it is "highly unlikely" that Feast is himself half man, half lizard. "He doesn't have the necessary intelligence" added Icke.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
