Ray Winstone, he's another. ' I'm from London, I'm well 'ard' . Actually, no, you're just an actor like all the rest, you're not really a gangster, you're just saying the words someone else wrote.
I think RW used to be a boxer so he may well be ‘ard.

I’m pretty sure I could kick Ben Kingsley’s arse though.
Don't know about Ray Winstone but there are several 'similar' actors whose bloodline and origins run remarkably close to the real-world scenarios conveyed in the films they appear in. See Guy Ritchie films for further information.

Israel has pulled a fast one, comparable to our travelling friends and is royally taking the piss. Using the ultimate PC defence, anti semitism, at the drop of a hat.

I doubt there are any more or less anti semites in Labour than any other party.
yes In general Israel has been very successful in getting any criticism of Israel defined in law as antisemitism.

Here in the UK there are Friends of Israel groups in the Conservatives and Labour; I think the Conservative group includes the majority of Conservative MPs, but Labour's is a minority. Thus the pressure in the media is always on Labour.

Ray Winstone used to be genuinely menacing, as in Scum. He's great in that.

But over the years he's just become a pastiche, a kind of cartoon character East London hardnut. Hale & Pace in their London gangster skits are more threatening.

Aston Martins really aren’t that good.

Usually very disappointing.
i drove a DB11 at Elvington last Summer and it seemed v comfy and a bit porky, but then i had just come out of a F458 and shortly before that an Aventador.

Some actors have done well out of just being themselves in front of a camera due to their personality traits and mannerisms being well fitted to a character type.

Only example I can think of is Dennis Hopper, who played panto villain aholes but turned out to be a bit of an ahole himself by all accounts.

Jack Nicholson did well out of playing crazed/grumpy nutjobs. But he is kind of like that in real life laugh

I can totally understand that, i'd even go so far as to say he's a talentless pillock
sounds like he's crying...

Dennis Waterman has built a whole career on playing Dennis Waterman.

Still waiting on the 500k job losses predicted in 2016. Seems some people are gullible twice.

I kind of see where you’re coming from. Elton’s career was on its arse until that song about candles, Nikita & The Passenger were ste in fact I suspect everything he’s done since the 70s has been awful. Stevie Wonder has had some belting songs, although the good ones all pretty much sound the same.
