Looking at that canalworld forum thread, interesting that they're focussing on the NB driver being a Canal and Riverboat columnist with a bit of a rep as a bolshie arse.

Edited to say apologies for correction, Canal and Riverboat ceased publication years ago, it's now Canal Boat magazine.

People hate hypocrites... if his articles promoted ramming and behaving like a dick there wouldn't be a problem!

I watched the video and have glanced at the thread a few times since. Can someone advise me; has that fückwit, arrogant narrowboat driver been fired from the magazine that employs / employed him yet?

Hopefully so, what an absolute pompous tool.

I’ve cycled up and down that part of the Thames at Henley regularly for 20yrs and never seen a single bit of boat rage. Quite the opposite in fact, everyone is remarkably chummy because they are in Henley on bloody Thames and it’s frightfully nice old chap!

Apologies it's not Canal and Riverboat magazine which has ceased publication but Canal Boat.

But then he would ram you with his big narrowboat.

Yes, I think that meeting might get quite lively. As well as giving the talk at the Ram's Head he could do one at The Cock hehe

Could have been entertaining in the car park if he thought someone had nicked his space.

Maybe they were worried somebody would try and crash the event?

One look at the man's Facebook page tells me all I need to know. Kissing Corbyn's arse and ranting against Brexit... what a tool.

Suddenly I dislike the man a bit less.

Corbyn actually sounding intelligent, genuinely interested and in touch with the issue at hand? Colour me astounded.
