Waste of time interviewing Barton.. !!
He comes across as surprisingly witty. Either that or up his own f***ing ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You call that fabricated nonsense wit? The I suppose someone like you has a low wit barrier
Disgrace to Birmingham and the Huma Race! Burn the bitch at the stake!
How tedious and superficial must his life be to support all that misplaced vanity. All that plastic surgery has made no difference. he still looks like a common charver..
He was actually not as bad as he normally is when interviewed. I was surprised.
Love u Sam x
