Harry Leslie Smith RIP

[jobotic]

Fought Nazis didn't he? There were some fine people on both sides.

[Nowhere Man]

Blimey only just saw this, for some reason my brain read the title as Harry Dean Stanton first time I saw it.

Not much to say except he seemed like a top bloke, I always enjoyed hearing from him.

Harry fought Nazis. You know, the real ones.

[Thursday]

Sounds like an SJW cuck.

[Absorb the anus burn]

Guido BS....

I saw Harry give a talk three years back. He took a photograph of the audience and he tweeted it himself during the event.

Harry's alleged 'twitter deceit' comes from the same right wing smear school that claims 'Rachel From Swindon' is a front for her husband's political activity.

[Huxleys Babkins]

You don't know their relationship other than the fragments you've glimpsed so I think a comment like the last sentence is inappropriate and verging towards the vulgarity you're claiming to find so offensive.

You might well be right. It just looked really cynical at face value, like he was driving for clicks.

[Monsieur Verdoux]

what a fucking hill to die on, criticising a grieving son for fulfilling what were ostensibly his father's dying wishes

desolation

[biggytitbo]

It was clearly a bit inauthentic when he was tweeting stuff like 'in between drifting in and out of consciousness my father whispered <insert perfectly formed, twitter friendly leftist soundbite>'.

But so what really, he knew a lot of people followed and valued his twitter account, so he was trying to keep it up in what were clearly upsetting circumstances for him. And it was all good, compared to the amount of malicious horrible shite people post on there.

Saw the title whilst being bounced around on the train and thought Leslie Ash had passed.

[garnish]

It was clearly a bit inauthentic when he was tweeting stuff like 'in between drifting in and out of consciousness my father whispered <insert perfectly formed, twitter friendly leftist soundbite>'.

Yes, and who knows, perhaps his father actually believed that leftist shit and was eager to communicate it because he knew he was dying.

[biggytitbo]

Certainly looks a bit dodgy

[mothman]

Our very own Louis Barfe has been all over this today on Twitter. His son - and not his only son, though you'd be hard pressed to hear Smith jr mention it - does seem to be trying to cash in on his father's legacy.

[idunnosomename]

This is just fucking sad. John Smith is clearly very distressed by his father's passing, but also he was clearly running the account on behalf of his dad all along (but very likely with his full support). But where did the 72k go? He's blocking anyone who even politely questions it.

With proper legal advice I think he could sort all this out but I worry he's charging headlong into desolation.
