Colin Fry cynically exploiting a tragic death

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdNsu...eature=related

as well as being nonsense, this is totally cynical of Colin Fry for his own gain. how can the tv company broadcast it?

I concur, the story surrounding Deepcut is well documented and the suspicions of the relatives also. It would only take a charlatan like Fry seconds to weave the story that the poor deluded parents want to hear.

This Google search will amply demonstrate why these people are "easy meat" for this type of scum.

They must have been really persuasive to get publicity shy Colin Fry onto TV. He's not usually the sort of guy to blow his own trumpet.

I'm puzzled by the title. Isn't that what every single one of these scumbags psychics does?

Cool

I didn't fully realize, until my mother and father died, how alone and berift one can feel...

And I am smart enough to spot Scam Masters from across the street.

Given a fair opportunity to escape punishment, I'd happilly take one of those Knob-Gobblers that feeds on grief and credulity; and break every one of their fingers; then both elbows.

Hmmm. Are any of you Psychic enough to percieve that these worms anger me?
