I think that Richard III was pretty much as bad as he was painted.

He was slight, almost feminine, he DID have a deformity, and was a 'Warrior' or 'ruthlessly violent' - take your pick.

It's very much the MOST likely that it was HE who ordered the deaths of the Princes in the Tower too.

So, the image and idea of him as creepily ruthless and clever, wouldn't need too much exaggeration.

Although some did exaggerate a bit, of course.

It doesn't matter that all the kings seem to have been pretty violent types, that doesn't make Richard NOT one.

Very unpopular opinion though.

By definition an opinion is personal, it was my gently ribbing opinion on the posts.

ETA I had not realised you disliked Hicks, nor indeed did I say I liked or disliked him.

I find myself agreeing with a lot of the welfare changes even though I don't really like this government.

ha, me too


I always get slaughtered for saying this on other forums but i don't think poor people should have kids. Or at least, us hard working ppl shouldnt be paying for other people who dont work to have large families

Women in their 40s obsessed with the men in the Twighlight films are as creepy as men in their 40s obsessed with Emma Watson

People obsessed with the Royals/soap stars/reality stars to the extent that they actually believe they know these people simply because they read about them every day need serious psychiatric help

Most people you encounter on a daily basis have a vastly inflated sense of their importance and significance in the world - if any of us died tomorrow, outside of our nearest and dearest, no one would give a damn

99% of all communication is utterly pointless

You don't have to like someone just because you work with them

People become utterly tedious when they become parents

The world does not owe you a living

Being happy is not a right - you have to work for it

I prefer animals to people

Going to the pub or cinema is no longer enjoyable because most people are tossers and don't know how to behave in public

People who bring babies into 15 and 18 rated films rather than pay a babysitter are cocks of the highest order

Fancy expensive restaurants are largely rubbish

If Jamie Oliver is so keen on healthy eating why is he getting so fat?

Gyms are actually full of people just like you and me who want a little excercise, and not steroid pumped body fascists

Coffee and Coca-Cola aren't very nice at all.

Most of the opinions expressed on this thread aren't unpopular at all, just a cheap excuse to have a go at someone/something.

Really? Who would have thought!

I think puppies and kittens are far cuter than babies.

I agree with all of these other than the BIB. Id say being happy is a human right . Yeah I agree you have to put a certain amount of effort in but what if you cant work due to disabillity or illness or have not good social skills. Its sad the way society looks down on some people who are deemed "no normal" but IMHO they deserve to be happy too.
