Yes but she had talent. He was just born with a goldplated spoon in his mouth and never had to do anything to get by.

Yep, you're right, he was born into wealth and therefore clearly evil. I don't know what I was thinking showing compassion for a f**ked up human being and imagining that the circumstances of their relationship might be more complex than a handful of showbiz journos on The Sun and Mail make out. 
I still maintain that Chip is correct.

He's in prison for burglary and gun crime. The papers didn't make that up too!

Not sure what difference that makes.

I'm surmising from all the tabloid crap I've seen (at least two thirds of which will be bollocks - that goes without saying) that he's probably a prick.
Chip seems to think he's probably a nice chap who doesn't deserve any flak. (/flack?)
No, Chip's saying that the sentence that the press have given him may not be as accurate as people want to believe. You know what the media arfe like for demonising people.
Well, yes, but that point is so arse clenchingly obvious I didn't think that could be all he was saying.

Don't put words in my mouth, zooo! I think he's a f**ked up chump! I just get a bit tired of the kneejerkster need for a villain. Winehouse's demise was a combination of a perfect storm of factors, of which sadly she herself was a big part. And that's it from me on the subject!
Ah, fair dos!
