All I can say is Rupert who?

Rupert Everett's soldier rant
Actor Rupert Everett has taken a swipe at soldiers, branding them "whining wimps" and "pathetic" for risking their lives.
(BANG) -
Rupert Everett has taken a swipe at soldiers, branding them "whining wimps".
The 'Shrek' star - whose father is a retired major in the British Army - claims young men and women risking their lives fighting on the frontline for their country are "pathetic".
Everett - who is currently starring in a British TV documentary about 19th century soldier-and-adventurer Sir Richard Burton - added: "The whole point of being in the army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits.
"In Burton's day they were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps! Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit."
Everett has now been slammed by members of the British armed forces for his controversial comments.
A source said: "You have someone here who is totally inexperienced as a soldier speaking as if he has some authority on the matter. He is in no position to do this. It is deeply hurtful.
A British Army spokesman said: "His comments don't even deserve a response."

High road.
I used to be a fan of Rupert but his comments run along side in stupidity with Sharon Stone.

best way to get back at Mr Rupert is to simply stop watchi9ng him & stop buying the goods that he is trying to flog.

The sooner that happens, the sooner he'll be going bye bye

TALIBAN IN RETREAT FROM NANCY BOY ACTORS     


TALIBAN forces in southern Afghanistan were in retreat last night after a fresh offensive by Britain's nancy boy actors.



The absolute darlings flounced into combat late last week and took-up a series of extremely limp-wristed positions along the Helmand River.
