If you read some of the comments I'm not sure there's too much credit from the normies. :(

Fantastic for Peter to get some positive credit in a national news paper.

One or two salty comments underneath the article but jealousy is a funny thing. I like the one about him not paying tax on gambling winnings saying he offers nothing to the economy like he doesn't spend anything in the economy with his winnings :lol:

Haha some genuinely funny stuff down there actually, plus a little bit of insight into how people think on average

But haters will always do what they do best, just occurred to me they're a a bit like Pokemon, they come in all shapes and sizes and evolve if you pay them too much attention, but if you collect them all you have probably done well :)

I noticed a few familiar faces in the comments, again.

It's really hard, almost impossible to get a positive article in the press. So credit to Mattie who did the interview for striking the right balance.

I loved the comment about "Gordon Brown is to blame" for Peter making a profit...

"He should get out while he can. The stress won't be good for his health and one day he will lose everything."

Don't read the comments on that article if you have high blood pressure, there's an incredible amount of salt there! :lol:

I noticed that, too, and began to write posts about it several times. I conquered the pedant within on each occasion and deleted my message! I didn’t want to nitpick when it’s quite a good article overall.

I do find, though, that when you watch a TV news report or read a newspaper story about a subject you know really well there are often glaring errors that betray the reporter’s lack of understanding. Makes you wonder what inaccuracies you’re being fed when the topic is not one you know intimately.

PS The hostility in the comments section really surprised me. Hope it’s water off a duck’s back, Peter.

The hostility doesn't surprise me at all

The general public has an agenda against anyone that lives more comfortably than them. If it was up to the general public they would tax any earnings over 25k at 90 percent lol
