What an idiot. The more he says the less I like him. How can anybody in this world admire Jeffery Archer?

Right, that's it, no more second chances from me ! That is the final nail in the coffin

Any shred of compassion I had for him has just evaporated

Since Ben wimped-out of his earlier punishment, BB should make a jail of the task room, switch off the cameras and leave him there for a long-time

Then Ben can say he's had a stretch in the klink, just like his idol Jeffrey.

Ben also gleefully chirped on about being in the war room and sending men to die.

Jeffrey is a disgraced former Tory MP who was sent to prison for quite a while.

Tho some say the trashy novels he writes are an even bigger crime to society!

Google/Wiki are your friends if don't know of him.

Kudos to you for admitting that. Most people wold say their fave author was say Dickens, Keats or in modern times the likes of tom Wolffe but Archer? That is astonishing.

The most amazing thing about Archer was that it was one of his best friends who grassed him up. It says something of the man that even his best friends had had enough of his lying and cheating.

Archer is the ultimate come back king - lost a couple of fortunes, but managed to write his way back to being a millionnaire. His books are typical pulp literature (as per Harold Robbins, Jackie Collins) and as for FMs on here sneering at his choice of author, its a bit hypocritical coming from some who can barely string two words together,can't spell to save their lives, have probably never read a book in their life, and have probably never managed to read the Daily Star cover to cover as it would be too taxing!

Most people hate Archer based on his clear lack of ethics and arrogant pompous attitude, but hey... you keep attempting to troll them based on sneering mass generalisations based on the fact that you think they are illiterate or stupid. Whatever makes you feel better.

I can clearly see why you are a Ben supporter as well as an Archer defender though.

In 1991, Archer had claimed to have raised £57,042,000. In 1992, the Kurdish Disaster Fund had written to Archer, complaining: "You must be concerned that the Kurdish refugees have seen hardly any of the huge sums raised in the west in their name." Kurdish groups claimed little more than £250,000 had been received by groups in Iraq. Archer then had gone to Iraq on a fact-finding mission, where his chant of "Long Live Kurdistan" was mis-translated as "Bastard, Devilish Kurdistan."

Good to know that Ben holds those who have been imprisoned for perjury and perverting the course of justice in such high regard.

He more or less invented the autohagiography (I think I just coined a term there). I'll give him that.
