Angus:
real men insult people face to face
name calling of people's children from afar
is considered especially manly

Don't deserve education?
My Friend
You may have paid TOO much for your education, if you have one at all...
and by preserving the elites ability to an education, while preventing the people's access to education,
because you bailed out the educated elites BANKING RETARDEDNESS
with the people's education money:
You guarantee your country's total subservience to any one with grade three.
even Muslims, the French and the Chinese will be smarter and they will/are going to rule you...

naw
its called insulting people third hand on a forum
so you don't get punched in the nose
like sometimes happens when you insult them face to face


no need to sue...

maybe the kid will show up with an AV and have they can at it...

Looks like we're half in agreement, of sorts. And I agree, it has to be a lie for it to be slander. Which is why I've called the poster out, as I don't believe that Gilmore JR is a heroin addict. It's quite a nasty thing to be called if you're not one. So I'd like to see the proof that this poster has, of Gilmore JR being a junkie smackhead. And whilst again, I agree with you that it's largly bollocks. Laws are there to be used and abused, and they are used and abused. (mostly by those here to "protect us, but that's another thread, and I fear we've strayed a little offtopic as it is)

Well done Gilmour jnr.......Shine on you crazy young diamond!!!

Can we get back to the Topic, please.

Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour's son rampages in London

This thread isn't about slander and name calling, eh.

TIA

reply to: err something above

Floyd members went to cambridge uni, so there's a chance they got the tap on the shoulder at an early age...

i think roger waters was the only one heavily interested in politics tho and if anything his lyrics seem more anti-tptb than pro!

is that a prism or a pyramid i hear you cry tho! well -the artist was Hipgnosis tho, so maybe he'd be a better target for your affections?

I'm guessing the "smackhead" jibe came from the Daily Mail story where it printed a friend said he may have been on LSD. Typical vague MSM journalism - no proof, no source - but enough for people to pick up on it and label the kid.

I think the boy is just using his name to gain some kind of noteriety, probably has an enteurage of sicophantic buddies egging him on. Funny how there seems to be a handful of pics of him carrying on as if he knew people were taking pictures of him because they knew who he was not because of what he was doing.

It boils down to attention seeking, but a certain kind of idiot will always associate such kind of behaviour with drugs. Which of course is an easy connection to make with the Floyd.

I find it hard to believe he was on LSD mainly because that particular drug wouldnt really allow you to behave like that. But in typical press 'factless' fashion there is some vague report that someone said he was on LSD 'gasp', so there it is.

To the ignorant one drug is as bad as another and as far as they are concerned he's a 'crack head' or whatever. The UK press are very good at demonizing people overnight. They can and will print half-truths and lies and sensationalise things way beyond reality.

It's such utter crap when you think about it. Hundreds of protestors and the one with the famous daddy is the only one in trouble. I'll bet he's well chuffed with all this publicity.

2) College is a privilege, not a right. Boo friggen hoo if you have to pay for it like everybody else on the planet.

No policy becomes legislation in the United Kingdom without the Royal Seal of Approval and Assent. Many of our laws are not introduced via parliament but via the Privy Council which simply requires an audience with the Queen for approval.

It makes Gilmour and his friends rounding on the Royals appear a legitimate act of protest.

I'm only sad that his son apologized. And David Gilmore is still the greatest rock guitarist ever in my opinion. Comfortably Numb is all I have to say, his solo work is excellent, too. Glad the chip off the 'ol block is into protests and anarchy, I'm sure his father is proud.

He came across a prancing prat , posing for a record cover in the 1970s.

I respect and admire his Dads musical achievenents, but his son comes across as a spoilt silverspoon doing charity work drunk.

But hey Iam just jealous , he sure has nice hair.
