He's the fakest piece of shit around. Not surprising at all.

I've always hated his fake cockney bullshit. You can hear when his accent slips and then suddenly he's all "Knees up muvva brown!" for the next 30 seconds.

Fucking piece of shit is from Essex, the most trash place in the entire UK.

He is a working class person from Essex. He's not pretending to be anything he isn't, except arguably an intellectual. No need to be so vitriolic.

Being a drug addict does not make you working class.

He glamourises drugs and other grubby behaviour and makes a living out of being obnoxious, until people call him out on it, at which point he turns on the waterworks and does the "oh poor little street kid me" act.

He left his single parent home at 16 before turning to drugs. How was he not working class. He's an ex-drug addict and doesn't glamourise them at all. I don't even like him, but the facts are out there.
