I read this rather amusing article today about singer James Blunt’s claims that he single handily stopped World War 3. Yes you read correctly, the helium voiced gnome actually claims he stopped the next global Armageddon.
He told the BBC how he refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo. Blunt said he was willing to risk a court martial by rejecting the order from a US General.
But he was backed by British Gen Sir Mike Jackson, who said: “I’m not going to have my soldiers be responsible for starting World War III.”
Blunt was ordered to seize an airfield, but the Russians had got there first.
So instead of a NATO peace keeping force or the world’s leading diplomatic negotiators we are supposed to be thankful to a man who is famous for singing like he’s been kicked in the testicles and showing off his pasty body in each and every video?
Sorry I just don’t buy it. But it’s a good bit of PR though I must admit. Ok it’s not on the same wavelength as the Beatles being bigger than Jesus but its close.
I guess the next steps will be to erect churches in the man’s honour, make “Your Beautiful” the new world anthem and for everyone to have statues of Blunt erected in every capital.
What a knob!
There is only one man who has single handily ended a conflict and unlike Blunt he had a flashing jacket.
Live and learn from The Hoff.
James Blunt, what a ****
