And yet after 3 months captive, facing potential death, is freed to receive...... vitriol. Why? Because he didn't say "thank-you" soon enough?!?!
I seriously doubt he would have said 'thanks' at all if he could have got away with it.
More so on his behalf and that of his crusade. He would have received briefings and so forth post release and en-route to blighty. By purposely keeping quiet it has indeed stirred up a hornets nest in the press highlighting not only his release but his activities...
Do his "look and mannerisms" really mean that much to you?
The first taste is with the eye. I do not read 'red tops' and pay little heed to sensationalist public opinion. Thats just how he comes over to me.
