What a cunt of a man. Any opportunity to get his mug in the news.  >:(

What's he done?

Judging by the outrage above, murder most foul. Obviously big news somewhere that I cant see.

Presumably, got his mug in the news. The swine.

He gave up the stage while on tour in Paris to eagles of death metal. What a cunt

I think he said gays were paedophiles and women should be in the kitchen on their backs or something.

Bono wants women to be on the backs of gay paedophiles in the kitchen? Jeez. That is going too far.

Bonio is indeed a grade 'A' cunt.

Just saw the short-arsed little prick on SKY news, parading around in his stack-heel boots, melted face and permanently fixed sunglasses, with that thick, bobble hatted twat 'The Edge' mincing behind him. (I've often wondered if the cunt actually books into Hotels as Mr Edge, and if so, do the hotel receptionist ever feel like dragging him across the desk, ripping his bobble hat off and doing him some serious fucking facial damage.... )

I wouldn't hesitate.

That's a little unfair... He gave up the stage for EODM I am sure the fact that he got publicly all over world media outlets was entirely coincidental ;)

Wait, people. He's talking about waste management, that affects the whole damn planet!

Actually I would like to see a fight between Tyson Fury and Bono.... possibly also get Donald Trump involved.

Never really got the bono hatred. I don't particularly like him but I've not seen anything from the bloke to ignite the bitterness some have for him.

"Cancel the Debt"

while at the same time registering the band in a tax-efficient country

Absolute Bell-end

(he did stand up and criticise the IRA though, which being Irish was a risk, so I do respect him for that, but he has clearly got carried away with his own dear self)

I would love that - only to see Bono get twatted - and Mr Trump as well

well..

- egregious campaigns to support the poor while he's a known tax evader
- the fact he seems to want to get involved in everything that's nothing to do with him
- the fact he's in U2, who are shit, and keeps trying to style himself as a "rockstar" despite the fact he's in a group with a guy who calls himself the edge


I have a hard time believing people don't think he's a cockwomble

U2 were great, okay they're getting a little passed their sell by date now but there's no doubting their talent.

Bono' political stance again were very admirable but now a little repetitive and stale.

How do you change your politics though if that's what you believe :) I'd also add to the tax dodging comment, being an Irish citizen do you mean he dodges taxes here ells?

Not sure what his 'political stance' is though he appears to be a typical bien pensant, tailor made for the modern social media generation.

I take it by bien pensant, you mean neocon, namely pro small state, pro mass immigratation, pro limited taxation and the projection of military power, to drive the engine of hegemony of the ruling elite?

Used to work with a girl who was a stewardess for Virgin Atlantic Business Class who had Bono and his family on a flight about fifteen years ago. Sadly he was really nice, had time for anyone who talk to anyone, signed countless autographs and was polite to all the staff. He also started serving drinks to passengers on the flight and was charming..

Robbie Williams on the other hand was an utter cunt..

I mean in this context as someone who accepts and/or espouses a fashionable idea after it has been established and maintains it without a great amount of critical thought.

Have I just walked into a narration of Geoffrey Chaucer.

So what I said then...

Either that or there are some bigheads who are showing what google/Wikipedia can do. My money's on the latter.

This place gets fucking worse.

Wordy bollocks in extremis

In my case it came from an article in The Independent ages ago about Europe but stuck in my mind as it seemed particularly apt at the time as all the refugee bollocks was kicking off at the time on Facebook.

I've actually read a book on the man and his propensity towards egregiousness but you can find some interesting things online yes (e.g. http://www.finfacts.ie/irishfinancenews/article_1026589.shtml) though I find facts more interesting, like the fact that in 2006 u2 transferred the company that handles its publishing royalties to the Netherlands to reduce the tax bill. While the man himself (still wearing his mum's cataract glasses) declares how great and beneficial Ireland's tax policies are.

And I still think their music is terrible. Their free virus album sounded pretty similar to the rest of their dirge to me, mostly pretentious and/or banal noise that by chance happens on a slightly catchy riff occasionally. And don't get me started on the lyrics.

..just my opinion though of course!

Everything after Achtung Baby was crap I grant you.

Everything after The Joshua Tree has been poor!

Actually, everything after Boy was disappointing, and after October drivel.

I'm with the frog on this one. Although Unforgettable Fire had some moments.

Bits. But Boy was an incredibly accomplished first album.

Like DMR, they peaked much, much too early.

Personally, I'd rather just listen to Gram Parsons.

I've just seen that there's a band called 'Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck'

I bet they're good.
