Surely I am not the only one who finds this clown annoying and a complete tosser? There is something phoney about his rants. His accent is all wrong. He sounds to me like a London Irish middle class grammar school boy. His screaming is no longer funny. His politics are no different than the tired old lefty crap that the likes of Jeremy Corbyn and Mark Steel come out with. He endorses controlled opposition like Caroline Lucas and the young Owen bloke. He used to be or still is a "performance artist".
He never touches upon the heart of of the problems, the NWO, the Rothschilds, Israel etc. He's a fan of Alex Jones and all the establishment "left wing" comedians like Frankie Boyle who is worth millions.

Why let him upset this much?
Just don't watch him.
s'easy.

He's doing himself a great disservice by "performing". It makes his lose all credibility.

Its his life, its his loss.

Meh.

I agree with much of what he says.
I don't do well with people shouting at me or dribbling.
So I turn it off.

S'not hard.

He's an artist, his conciet is a ranting taxi driver, thats nog his accent, he's acting. Im sure he believes what he says.

Somehow he has been lumped in with the truth movement, when actually it's a carefully crafted and constructed character.He's not real, in the sense Ben Elton, mark Thomas, stage personas are not real.

Good luck to him. No doubt he will end up on mainstream tv.

He's already been no Mainstream TV. Russell Howard aired a clip taking the piss.

I totally agree. It's all an attention grabbing act. He's certainly knocking around with some great TV contacts like Frankie Boyle and Russel Brand. Mind you, I can't talk. I'm an actor of sorts so know where he is coming from.

I've never managed a full clip of his.

I don't really agree. I think he is very sincere in what he says and that his ranting is actually quite heartfelt, although there is a persona element to it as well, I will agree. It's a million miles away from the way I'd approach it, but people are far more likely to listen to someone with this delivery style (despite the evidence from this thread!). I think he has done extremely well to turn his life around from being a serious heroin addict and homeless, and if you've ever seen his lad he's an absolute credit to him.

Frankie Boyle is super duper

Some things you clearly are missing about Mark......

He 100% means everything he says and believes in what he is doing, just because he uses his talents as a performance artist to carry his message of protest to the people, how does that make him a fraud? IDK what sort of age groups are on here but anyone with a bit of longevity to their lives will remember times when we the people depended on Artists, actors, musicians, writers, playwrites and the likes to be our voices against corruption, inhuman acts, war and despotism. that was of course until the arts were hijacked by the corportate and the elite. Nowadays musicians, actors and the like are too scared to say anything or do anything as it means certain death to their careers and ability to earn a living. how many hearts and minds were moved to ther peace movement by the work of Bob Dylan? millions perhaps? and John Lennon? should we detract from their efforts just because they used music as a medium? i say that is a foolish stance.

Mark Mcgowans persona/charactor might not be to everyones taste, but he has done an absolute sevice to the people with his dedication to anti corruption and highlighting social and political issues. put it this way he most likely provokes more though in people in one week that most of you will in your entire lifes being keyboard warriors! how many of you would be willing to crawl through the streets of London on your hands and knees in protest of social injustice? whilst being treated with bowel cancer? how many of you actually do anything to raise awairness aside from hang around forums like this?

He is a good man, he uses the tools that are available to him and he is a genuine activist. also Mark IS actually a Cabbie! it is how he makes his living! he was involved in activism long before he came up with "The Artist Taxi Driver", he is a fine public speaker and gives many talks at protest events etc (for free not like some we all know ha ha), vast in his knowledge of the Brittish establishment and a pretty on the ball guy. hell sometimes i cant be bothered listening to him do his flipout act either and other times i find him quite funny! if you tune into his stuff more, you will see Mark as himself more often than not, the guy who chokes to hold back the tears at times is not an act, other days you will get him going nuts at something with real anger and distain.

We are all supposed to be on the same page, not putting each other down. if you keep shooting the messengers then guess what! there will eventually be no more messengers! not everyone is a shill, if we think like that then we are all fucked imho!

whether you like the mans shouty act of not - He deserves a bloody medal.

Regards

Scarp = mike again?

Likewise WUB

I also do my bit in an active protest role, some folk blog, some march and all use all manner of methods of helping the cause and i think that everyone that does something, even a tiny wee thing, they are fab in my mind and they should be commended and recognised for thier efforts, we need to embrace peoples efforts and not put them down, even if it is not you bag so to say!

I like the fact he has actually done his own protests, and that absolutely anyone is welcome to join & particpate, ...... his idea of 'doing something' is to get out there and be active and be loud ... not to demand his followers pay him to be preached at.

He's certainly not to everyones taste, I appreciate, but he seems down to earth, approachable, interested in real people & I just find him so much more likeable than all these cliquey 'scene' truthers, of which I have seen far too much of in recent weeks

I like some of what the guy has to say but I can't watch him for long it's too shouty & his voice is very harsh.
I don't listen to Alex Jones for similar reasons..... that & the fact he's full of shit.

There's a search button, top right of the screen, Scarp.

You'll find there's already a thread on Mark, here...

sanctumzone.co.uk/forum/General/11271-th...tml?start=120#147940

Personally, I think he's bang on with what he says most of the time, and I've a lot of time for him.

Feel free to add to it, I haven't had chance to watch any of his videos for ages, but I agree with the vast majority of what he says.

He's certainly got himself noticed.

Now this guy is funny!.............is this where Chunkymark got his inspiration? I've seen similar over the years from America. Chunky tries to copy them.
