Wolfboy, are you suggesting that every other person they have had on News-night has been a fully professional and respectable person? haha, you're having a laugh mate.

No not at all Sem, in fact I mentioned other celebs on current affairs progs; what I'm saying is you can't ignore him at the moment and if he puts himself out there in this volume then he is fair game in terms of commenting on what he is peddling.

Wolfboy, He's out there a lot more than the media like to even show, hence why he now has his own Trews show to prove that its not a celeb attention seeking angle he's pushing. He actually wants to help people at least become more aware of whats going on and try help others get attention.
I can understand he's not everyones cup of tea, but what he also has on his side is the fact that the general public who are not online doing our own research as we do. The ones who need help realising what really goes on, they actually pay attention to him. This is a plus when he's talking about matters that effect us that can be changed with people power.

I like him. I used to detest him from Big Brother days.
I think, regardless of what he says in interviews about starting a revolution, that he is really just trying to point out what he views as wrong and highlight the issues by posing a more sensational counterargument.
He's a man disillusioned with governments/media and I feel rightly so. He's not a man with ideas to change anything but he's intentionally being a muse to try and get others, particularly "the next generation" to questions things more and be vocal in discontent.
If you remove his proposals for things and focus on what he's aiming them at, it's quite hard to disagree with him, at least for me.
- Agree. Not many people in position of fame and influence that talk about anything worthwhileset

I think this woman has a good handle on him:
- She's a moron. "a man who truly knows what he is talking about does not start blathering on about 9/11 conspiracy theories"set
- Even if you don't believe the conspiracy that's still an utterly closed minded and moronic statementset
- conspiracy just means that 2 or more people planing and acting to do something. obviously that had to happened to cause the event.yurimon

The media's need to tear him down, after building him up a year or so ago is kind of amusing. He's just another person out there offering commentary on his YouTube channel, either listen or don't.
