    That's exactly what he is. He has/had a crowdfunder/kickstarter to build an office/granny flat out his mother's back garden to keep his 'videos' going.

    He has an Irexit conference on his channel. About 15 people in the audience at the conference. Apparently the health service, people on trolleys, suicide, mental health issues, immigration and fluoride in drinking water are all the EU's fault.

    And the description has 7 different ways to give money to Rowan Croft.

    I don't debate anything you say there, all I'm saying is that he commits fully to what he believes in. That's not a mental health thing :)
    A rational run of the mill conversation can be had with him besides what you see on his channel or in the looney side of media. :)

    I direct you to the post directly above yours. That's what happens when we both reply at the same time.

    Although, I would disagree with you when you said committing fully isn't a mental health issue. It could be. If he believes in something factually false and demonstratable untrue, and commits to it, it could be a sign of some kind of mental illness. I'm not saying he is mentally unwell, I'm just saying that committing fully doesn't disprove anything.

    Lol. User who makes snarky mocking comments to other posters and about other people, always fails to address anyone's points and then cries to the mods when someone does the same thing to him. :pac:

    This gran Torino guy demonstrably has extreme beliefs. If you only think one of them is so, it is because you agree with the other extreme beliefs. Which means you hold some extreme beliefs.

    If your only response to that is a personal attack on someone, let's just say it doesn't really do much to disprove their assertion.

    Him and about 5 billion others could be described as having extreme beliefs.

    Two things:

    1: The comment "extreme views" is rhetoric. It's meant to dismiss the lad making the comment, rather than address the comment itself, which is that, despite Torino's views on certain things, he has done good work; some great interviews and filming the migrant scandals that are occurring across the country.

    2: Winny addressed me. He didn't have to. Otherwise I wouldn't have replied to him. Also he has a record of calling multiple posters who didn't agree with him: snivelling little shìts.

    The original comment seems to have been deleted though? Hmm.

    This is all your own doing pumpkin. This second you've done this now. The first time didn't work out for you.

    As I said goodluck with your future endeavours.

    You do have extreme views. You post boards for all to see.

    Cowardly posting from yourself, your well able to abuse posters when it suits you. But when it happens to you, you start crying about it. Man up.

    QAnon conspiracies are not something intelligent people believe in. Torino subscribes to the bat**** conspiracy.

    Only a matter of time before some idiot goes looking for the basement in a basementless-pizzeria here. Or something to that effect anyway.

    Anyone willingly filling their heads with that charlatans nonsense or giving him money probably need an emergency intervention from family and friends.

    I know Rowan. He's not a nutter. He's just very commited to what he does.

    Maybe not a nutter. An extreme hatemonger though.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Why would anybody be afraid of somebody that nobody had heard of before this thread started?
