[Closed] Frankie Boyle, Filth Monger or Guru?

Sorry, can't listen to that bloke shouting.
I find Frankie quite funny personally and am unaware of the "media context spin" to which you refer.

The interview isn't helped by the fact the taxi driver is a fantasist of the first order who sees conspiracies everywhere. I think claiming the queen is the most powerful person in the world is a little far fetched.

I know what you mean about the shouty bit and I guess at times, I might come across a bit similar on here 😳 , however, aside from a very brief shout at the start, he's very chilled for once...

I guess I got the impression that some of the opinions displayed in this thread:

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/frankie-boyle-on-hunger-strike

are due to manipulation by some areas of the media.

Alot of the Queens power is hidden, as mentioned in the vid, so as to trivialize her influence... Babylon n ting 😉

Frankie is a funny man and also a bit of a guru IMHO. His shock jock persona is a total red herring, but has marginalised him as a bearded ranter. That, and he seems to have gotten weary of the mainstream telly show - his last series was basically a cry for help. Would like to see him back and engaged, but appreciate if he can't be arsed with it all.

English teacher made good. 😀

Love frankie to bits but that other bloke is a total bellend.

but he does have bowel cancer.

I have some news for you. There is a part of the venn diagram of life where those who are bell ends and those who have bowel cancer overlap.

Indeed, and the relevance of that comment from jive.. is what exactly?

Is it to say, yes he is a knobber, but he's a poorly knobber? Sorry but thats largely irrelevant.

And some folk just sit firmly in the one circle 😉

jivehoneyjive - I'm glad to hear that you don't have bowel cancer.

I don't think we're meant to take everything the taxi driver says literally are we..?
It's just social commentary with a bit of character surely..?

I find him quite entertaining and I really really hope he wins the turner prize

I'm sure he wouldn't mind... knowledge is power n that 😀

Phew. Glad I just referred to him as a "bloke".

Back to the spin - I find people funny cos they make me laugh, don't give a toss what other people, including the media, say about them. Unlike a lot of people in that there thread which you have linked to.

That's funny. Because it's true.

I'm giggling at the mo, because sometimes I can be every bit as subjective and knee jerk as folks I am quick to judge and you have a fair point, I concede 😆 he sometimes does my nut, but I accept the delivery and listen to the message.

Eh? Next you'll be claiming she's one of the lizard overlords and leader of the Illuminati!

Frankie is a misunderstood genius
