Not 2", but certainly aggressive...

Would you be happy with his posture, his behaviour?
You're kidding? You're really citing that as being aggressive?

Who instigated the conversation?

The suggestion that guy makes, that he was being bullied by Brand is ridiculous. By all means dislike him, disagree with his views or whatever, but don't try and use the event to big up your blog and achieve some exposure off the back of it.
It isn't my blog, and there is only one person who is after exposure.

The fallacy is the idea that he's getting up the same people's noses. I don't see why someone else thinking he was once envious means I shouldn't think he's now a hypocrite. If he hates the existence of the 1% and the inequality, he's welcome to remove himself from it and make the world more equal.

Maybe not 2" but anyone who starts pawing the other person in an argument needs a good hiding! The RBS guy was calm and collected - he was merely making a point and Brand starts pontificating in his usual manner.

We have decided to say thank you to God on Xmas Eve for sending us his son.
Its nice that this time he hasn't come as a baby but as a prepackaged nearly 40 year old.
My wife thinks he is lovely in fact its her who suggested it. I suggested she allow him to move in with us and sleep in the daughters bedroom. The wife suggested he would be more inclined to do that when the daughters back home.
We love him. We love him more than Cam on here. In fact we is in total awe of him.
My wife thinks he looks so vulnerable and loveable in this video.

He was great in Arthur too.

Sorry, I'm thinking I must have seen a different video.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to infer that it was your blog. I meant the chap who wrote it and claimed he was being bullied.

Events described in that blog don't match what happened in the video footage though do they?
Mate, for the benefit of those who have not seen or read either, what are the main differences?

The 'greed is a virtue' mantra is certainly strong with some.

Is 'reasonably effectively dissected' code for 'responded to with left wing drivel'??

Do you think the original blog was any less drivel? (Just curious as to your opinion) smile

I read the original blog as an amusing (but non-serious) bit of fun.
