Alan Sugar, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan dont like each other very much

 

[FridgeMagnet]

4% of the UK follows Alan Sugar on Twitter.

and why should i care?

 

[mattie]

Alan Sugar said something I agreed with. I feel dirty.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

4% of the UK follows Alan Sugar on Twitter.

4% of the whole of the UK or 4% of UK people on Twitter?

UK population.

Unless 1 person has a few million twitter accounts.

Thats not news we already knew that no one likes those three. Not even themselves you can see it in their souless eyes.

I was once close enough to give Morgan some verbal at a tv show, unfortunatly I was totally disarmed when I realised his two young lads (maybe 9 & 10) were stood in front of me with a look of total hero worship on their faces as they were in awe as their dad was being interviewed for telly. At that age your dad is always a cross between einstein and pele.

That seems unlikely. Are 4% of the UK on twitter?

Piers Morgan is such a fucking shithead.

 

[sim667]

My best mate loves getting in twitter spats since he discovered...... Its fucking painful when it keeps popping up on my wall..

He does love to mess with BNP/EDL members though, so I let him get on with it.

Sugar has 2.5+ million twitter followers. There are about 60 million people in the UK.

2.5 x 100 / 60 = 4.16%

ETA:

In May twitter claimed there were 10 million UK users. That would give Sugar around 25% of UK twitterers following him.

They probably pay people to tweet for them - it's all probably the same guy talking to himself.

Are all those followers (of sugar's) from the uk though? And a lot of them are probably spambots.

Very fair point.

From this I have learnt that the US Apprentice came first.

I did not know that.

Bleurgh.

 

[SaskiaJayne]

The most annoying thing I found on that link was being told that I should follow Alex Hern on twitter rather than being invited or even advised to do so.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Bleurgh indeed.

 

[Fez909]

Was a pretty funny exchange of tweets, that. I particularly liked "get on your knees, Sugar" and "like you're the most popular person on US TV."

I think Twitter is the best thing to happen to 'celebrities' as they can't help but speke there brainz, and when they do, it's usually something unpleasant or unflattering.

Three cunts show themselves up as cunts, and the world keeps spinning.

 

[Tankus]

made me laugh anyway ........

anyone seen this ?

You've been Trumped
Anthony Baxter's film on the David and Goliath-style conflict between a group of proud Scottish homeowners and American tycoon Donald Trump, as he gets set to build a huge golf resort on an environmentally protected site in Aberdeenshire.
Baxter follows the local residents as they make their last stand in the face of security harassments, legal threats and the loss of their water and electricity supplies. Baxter himself becomes international news after being thrown in jail following an interview with Mr Trump's green keeper.
Told entirely without narration, the film captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting and media-savvy Donald Trump and a deeply rooted Scottish community. For the tycoon, the golf course is just another deal, with a possible billion dollar payoff. For the residents, it represents the destruction of a globally unique landscape that has been the backdrop for their live
