This.
For every post on here about what a gob-smacking line The Walk of Life was there were about 20 crowing about how he had lost all credibility, all by people who wouldn't get off the ground on that route I'll wager.
JP was decent enough to PM me at the time (and doubtless the few others who didn't join in the witch burning) to thank me for my supportive post, which IMHO shows him in a very good light and also suggests that the slagging he got was deeply felt. The only other person I know who took the time to PM a note of thanks for support in the face of 'trial by ukc' was Stevie Haston.
But anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the film.
