He came to Heinz Wigan when they did Inside the Factory. Everyone who came into contact  with him said what an odious bloke he was.

Why haven't the two Manchester airport thugs been charged yet? ???   ::) 

In fact they should have been charged, tried, convicted and residing at His Majesties pleasure by now FFS!  >:(

If they'd been a couple of bald, tattooed white blokes who'd yelled at the police during the summer they certainly would have been dealt with. Harshly as well!  :-X

There are certain 'elements' within British society who are seemingly above the law. The government and police are reluctant to take them on for fear of starting WW3.

I believe Reform are trying to take out a private prosecution.

Was that just prima donna "look at me, I'm famous, and like the sound of my own voice", or was a perv?

The former is not that uncommon in my experience with celebrities* I've met, particularly those that surround themselves with yes men.


*in the loose sense, like Wallace.

Yes, you are correct, TB...I can state a case of a celebrity, who came from Liverpool and could screech a bit, throwing a tantrum in a supermarket in Beaconsfield, with those enshrined words...'Do you know who I am'.....

I have yet to encounter that phrase, but I expect my response would be along the lines of...

No, would it help?

I witnessed someone (No idea who) try that in the queue at immigration at Heathrow once. It swiftly earned him a visit to the "latex glove room" out back. I didn't laugh much. :D

I have had that asked several times over the years whilst at work. Whilst the response usually differed depending on the actual situation, invariably ' No, I can't say I do. But if you are unsure, maybe ask your Mother?' Usually, it didn't take them off their high horse, but if finished with a little smile, it was great to see their reaction.....
