Billy Connolly User ID: 1005717 United States 11/04/2012 03:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Famous Scot: "I hate my country for the way it holds people back, tells them they're not good enough." I hate my country for the way it holds people back, tells them they're not good enough. I hate the tabloid press for what it does to people. Never letting them be intelligent.' He pauses, catches himself, smiles. 'I hate all those weathermen, too, who tell you that rain is bad weather. There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing .' He laughs, and he's away, doing what he does best. 'It's not just Scotland, it's all of Britain: this negativity. You can see it in the obsession with so-called reality TV. It's donkeys watching fucking donkeys. It's full of people who think you get bright by going to a gym. You know, we seem to have become a country where the highest ambition is to become a fucking television presenter or, worse, a children's television presenter. People who know so much about children that they think they like being shouted at. All those ninnies! Autocue comedians, wearing glasses to look intelligent. I hate it, loathe it.' |
