I’m sure he uses emotional manipulation on his family. Poor mother is full of guilt over his circumstances. I used to feel bad for him, but now I realize how many of his actions are genuinely evil.
That sounds familiar. I think they addressed it in a video or live one timeI’m sure they met at summer in the city in London as Gary had never been to Disney before he met Adam
Adam was desperate for fame back then.... and Gary believe it or not had a lot more "internet fame" and more of a following than Adam in those early YouTube daysYes, they used to hang out there.
In this video Gary is 34 and Adam just turned 22. Who doesn’t want to hang out with a jobless mid-30s man who has a puppet?
Being paid with flights and hotels is much more efficient for a Gary. The value he gets every year is more than many earn! Withdraw YT and art money into a pre paid card or leave it in PayPal and use it to pay for pins online - no trace of anything for them to see. Grifters always have their ways. A new claimant who worked since they were 16 will be gone through with a fine tooth comb. - a penny over the limits in your savings and computers says no. Disability payments usually would need several appeals and getting your MP involved. More stressful that the condition you have usually. The career claimants sail on and never get caught. They will sit brazen as you like and insist they need a 6 bedroom house and then drive away in a Mercedes.Do you think he discloses YT income to the benefits office? I know he probably doesn’t make that much but it’s an income non the less.
This is the problem with the UK at present... over the last 20-30 years, the Government have allowed for the creation of generations of benefit scroungers, who live their lives on the hand outs of Universal Credit (previously ESA & JSA). There are whole communities of work shy individuals and families, that get pregnant young, have several children and then expect to live off the state until their dying day (Benefits street is clear evidence of that). That is not to say there aren't many who are entitled, deserving and truly in need of the benefits system.Gary seems really attached to the idea of himself as a victim/someone who can't cope with everyday things. He went on and on about how he can't drive, couldn't driver, never will be able to drive..Of course he could drive. There are paraplegics and amputees who drive modified cars without issue. Most people with anxiety and depression drive - how else would they get to the doctor, get their children to school etc
He seems to be really confused about what he's not doing because he's living at home and doesn't have to and what he's not capable of doing. He's capable of doing all the things any other big tall 40 yr old man can do - he's just not doing them because he doesn't have to/he has someone to do them for him. People with amputated legs are out there working, driving, exercising because they have to! Their mother's can't drive them around and deliver food to their bedrooms.
