I hope the afterlife is prepared to receive his limp penis
For those out of the loop.
He was mistaken for a thief of some kind and was arrested in the middle of a meal.
Does anyone know what democracy manifest means?
I’m talking out of my ass, but it could mean that the natural conclusion of democracy is mob rule, where nothing matters besides the sentiment of “the mob”, a large group of like-minded people. Here he was falsely accused of theft but because enough people believed the lie, he was taken to jail based solely on sentiment.
Or not. This is my take on his “democracy manifest” comment.
That’s a good take, but I think it is more likely a sarcastic comment. A comment that Australia should be a democratic government with rights but now it’s a police state that no longer resembles democracy (in his angry opinion)
There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.
He was a really nice guy it turned out, and also innocent, and also a pretty good oil painter. He had a whole series of paintings of the incident, including a couple where he is depicted arresting himself. In a classic interview where he is having a laugh about the event and showing some of the pictures he ends the section by cooking a succulent Chinese meal for the interviewer.
There was also a wine released called get your hand off my pinot. The world feels a little smaller without him.
He reprised his original appearance in The Chats’ video for Dine n Dash, too.
I, too, will enjoy a succulent Chinese meal in his honour today.
