Best idea I've heard in ages !!! Can we have a RT whip round to pay for a particularly cruel hit man ?

In reply to Jonno:

Forget the hitman, surely he should be hunted with hounds?

In reply to Jonno:
Would that be the son of Brian "Third Reich" Ferry? What a lovely household he must come from.

(Sorry Mr Godwin)

In reply to Jonno: well if he is happy to die then surely it would only be right to oblige

In reply to Jonno:

change that to Otis Redding; though I doubt he'd be happy about it, at least the music would be good.

In reply to Jonno:

I don't see what the problem is, someone mearly fighting for what they belive in. Best of luck to him!

In reply to Lord Flasheart:

What wrestling women and stealing their cameras and car keys? Presumably as they were recording him and chums committing a crime?

In reply to Lord Flasheart:


so you think its ok to assault other people for what you believe in?i dont agree with speed camera's so is it ok for me to assault the people who fit them?

In reply to grumsta:

Link?

In reply to grumsta:

Was he committing a crime?

In reply to Jonno:

Is hunting not illegal now?

In reply to grumsta:

I am guessing that Otis Ferry and Shropshire (is that right) Hunt were engaging a legal form. The protesters like to film them to make sure they are engaging in a legal form and if not have evidence to prosecute.

Ferry's willingness to assualt a protester to get her camera, may suggest that they were not engaging in a legal form of hunting, alternatively it may may just confirm that he is a prick.

Quote from his mum:
“It takes a lot of courage and skill to go hunting. It must be rather like the atmosphere in the trenches,”
Hmmm...

In reply to The New NickB:

Or it may suggest that he is fed up with these morons following them around everywhere (have they got nothing better to do with their lives?) - just like the actors that occasionally get fed up and attack the press that follow them.

In reply to thomasadixon: I get fed up with people in the street asking me if I have had an accident, I don't assault them. Ferry is a prick, the above quote shows that his mother is a moron.

In reply to thomasadixon:

Firstly, I don't have that much sympathy for actors etc and the press. If they don't like it, they could get another job, like being a hospital cleaner on £5 an hour.

Secondly, if he wants to make the libertarian argument that he should be free to hunt, then he should extend his logic to those who opposse him and their right to monitor his presently illegal activites.

Finally, he comes across as an indulged little prick.

In reply to Serpico:
His mum sounds lovely:

"When Otis was 12, the Ferrys moved to Sussex, where his closest friend was a gamekeeper who introduced him to falconry and ferreting. His mother Lucy says, “He always had a special bond with animals, a sort of magic connection.”"

Like killing them?
Don't psychopaths kill small animals when children ?

In reply to Nevis-the-cat:


Fair enough, it's part of an actors job that they court the limelight. It's not part of the job of a guy who goes hunting.


True, but it's bound to irritate. I think it would bother me more than a bit if people followed me every time I went climbing, deliberately getting in my way when I'm walking to the crag and taking photos of everything I do.

In reply to The New NickB:

Do you have people following you every time you go out whose sole purpose is to piss you off? I can't see how his mother being a moron is relevant to who he is.

In reply to dread-i:


Any particulur Fast Show characters spring to mind?

In reply to dread-i:

Right, because falconers and ferreters kill their animals...

In reply to thomasadixon:
>Right, because falconers and ferreters kill their animals...
What do you use ferrets for, apart from putting down trousers ?
Falcons take birds as well as the lures(?) that the falconer swings.
Both involve killing things.

In reply to dread-i:


The falconer and ferreter wouldn't have personally killed anything. The "bond" she's talking about is between the falconer and his bird.

In reply to thomasadixon:
>The "bond" she's talking about is between the falconer and his bird.
I don't doubt that. I just found it amusing that his mum says he has a "special bond with animals, a sort of magic connection." Yet he enjoys killing them.

In reply to thomasadixon:


No and neither does Ferry. I take it you are a nature rather than a nurture type of person then.

In reply to Nevis-the-cat:

pmsl!

In reply to The New NickB:

I don't think as the parent so the child if that's what you mean. Whether it's nature or nurture is irrelevant if you believe parents are all that influences children.

In reply to thomasadixon:

I don't understand the first bit of your statement. In most cases our parents have some influence on the way that we think.

More importantly Ferry is still a prick.

In reply to The New NickB:

As the parent so the child, or Parent = Child. Some influence, sure, that doesn't mean if the parents a git then the child must therefore be a git as well.


That's your opinion.

In reply to thomasadixon:


Bingo.

In reply to The New NickB:
>> More importantly Ferry is still a prick.

I'm intersted now. Is he a prick because he hunts?

In reply to Removed User: I`d say he was an utter arsehead of the highest order for assaulting people and stealing their keys. There may well be other reasons as well.

In reply to Removed User:

No, not at all.

In reply to Jonno

*looks in pockets*

i've got £1.54, a pack of jellybabies, a small prussik loop, a small leaterman and a sachet of tomato sauce.

will that be ok?

In reply to grumsta:

Depends on what/how/why you hunt

In reply to Removed User:
Is he a prick because he hunts?

no. I know lots of people who hunt, but most of them can open their mouths without something quite so pathetically asinine slipping out before their brains get up to speed. He's a prick because he has a malformed Senseofproportion gland.

In reply to Jonno:

All in all he sounds like a bloody good chap to me, if the same folk were to follow me about filming every time I went climbing it wouldn't be too long before I gave them a good hiding too!
