(16 Nov 2013, 2:16 am)fozzovmurton wrote I think the demonisation of Bazza has to stop, I am not defending his actions whatsoever(I have been critical of him myself), I strongly condemn the way he gets some of his photos, trespassing is against the law and running across bus stations to get a good shot is downright stupid and dangerous and if he gets nicked or run over, there is only one person to blame, himself...
As for things like reporting drivers for whatever and trying to get them sacked, I agree with Mr Mitchellhill, that is downright sneaky and sly, lower than a rattlesnakes arse, no call for it without a bloody good reason.
However, I think it has been made plain in the past that Baz has learning disabilities, probably somewhere on the autism spectrum and I think we can figure out that he may have a different concept on things to the rest of us, what we see as criticism, even if it comes across as harsh, he sees as bullying, unfortunately I dont think anyone anytime soon will be able to help him figure that out...
I have said it before, I will say it again, deep down in Bazza, there is something good, I dont see anything in him that is evil and one thing is clear, the kid loves his buses, maybes a little too much when we have seen the lengths he goes to to get the picture, and I genuinely dread the day either he gets hurt or someone else does because of his actions
Whilst I agree with you to a point, the lad doesn't seem to do himself any favours.
I don't know him personally - but have heard a lot of him and unless Nexus or GNE act, then as you say, it could end badly.
People sitting slagging him off on here, doesn't help him or anyone else.
However, @sibbers85 from Real Radio has a photo on his twitter feed of the first contestant in 'toot for the route' of Barry standing with his frisbee and horn.
Having heard how much Bazza hates being called Barry, I wonder if Sibbers knows about him too?
