    Ignoring the more inflammatory parts of this as it's really not worth going there, other than to say stereotyping so broadly in inaccurate and unhelpful.
    Arguably It's not a good idea to make these comments on the site. Has this attitude helped me, yes it has. Unfortunately, Its risky to go to US Detroit Michigan believing that it's going to be like Mains New England.

    Shouting abuse at the TV and ranting about Brexit in the privacy of his own room is entirely up to him. It's just a way of letting off steam. Are there any footie fans that don't yell at the TV once in a while?

    I can hear him from the other side of the house. It doesn't bother me too much but could freak out the other housemates especially when watching politics. Imagine having Youtube Alex Jones presenting in the next room.

    You do know Alex Jones and Info wars is just an act to get a reaction and ratings. Same as Gordon Ramsey.
    You either buy what they are selling or you ignore it.

    I'd prefer to have Alex Jones from The One Show.

    I did hear that Alax Jones name pop up on BBC ad. I thought to myself they would unlikely allow Info Wars Alex Jones nowhere near mainstream TV.

    I am not a fan of Alex Jones but he is a force for good. And he is a sale funnel for other libertarians, who are less sensationalist.

    No he isn't. He's a tin-foil hat brigade nutter.

    TBF, he does have one good use.

    Anybody who ever relies on him as a source of information can be instantly dismissed as an incorrigable far-right loon themselves. See also: Stephen (Tummy Rubbinson) Yaxley-Lennon.
