Did you watch the Mark Blanco doc on ch4? I’d say watch that first and then decide before you spend your money

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

This may be the case re Babyshambles, but The Libertines were huge and still have a massive following. Whether you are a fan of Pete or not, their music was, and still is, loved by many
Does Pete even have much money? In the doc he pointed at a restaurant and said he skipped out on them without paying the bill. Either he does it for a thrill (once a junkie always a junkie I guess) but I got the impression his wife is the one with the money.
I did, thank you.
They definitely have fans but were never huge and not popular enough for their albums and singles to top the charts. Come on, let’s be realistic. His inevitable early death will be met with a collective shrug by most of the general public.
The documentary will be tonight's viewing for me.

I was amazed he admitted that on camera - such a crappy thing to do.
Chart history says they had a number 1 album and two top 10
I’m on about when he dies, clearly.
That wasn’t clear, your post says they weren’t popular enough to top the charts, but they did, clearly.
Yes, I think they said the nice house on the cliff side was her parents’ house. Pete’s a scrounger and a sponger.

The conversation was about his albums/singles topping the charts when he dies. You need to read the whole conversation and context before jumping in and making yourself look foolish with pointless arguments. Of course we all know their second album went to #1. Any chimpanzee can look that up on Wikipedia in two seconds.
I was not aware he brought someone with him, pretty sure he went alone. Though he did definitely go there on purpose- very bad decision.
Definitely got the impression its his wife with the money. The house they were seen in on the Theroux documentary was, I think, her parents. It looked gorgeous.
I don't think he has much money. If you go onto Companies House you can find The Libertine accounts (always an interesting read) certainly in the last couple of years they have made diddly squat.
He’s worth a million, according to the Daily Mail…
It did come across that way. Spoken like a true addict who doesn’t want to put in the work - “oh it’s too late now, I might as well carry on”.
He doesn’t HAVE to be dying. He’s only 44 FFS. But he’d have to stop the booze and the drugs and the smoking, and I don’t think life has any meaning to him beyond that.
When he was in the local rag for his court appearance for speeding the judge asked his income and he said 10k a month, i think he was also done for riding his segway on cliftonville seafront
I'm sorry I'm late to this part of the convo, but I think it's his Mrs who has money. I think the baby and marriage for inheritance tax reasons doesn't really make much sense, frankly. You make it sound like he's shrewdly planning his own demise. Sorry, I don't mean to discredit your opinion, but I think he's just an addict who's unwell and if he's going to die it's purely because he's unhealthy. He can get better if he stops drinking. Or even reduces it. I think he is just irresponsible and doesn't think that far ahead about his actions. He wants immediate gratification, so to see far into the future is very hard for people like him.
“Sorry, I don't mean to discredit your opinion, but I think he's just an addict who's unwell and if he's going to die it's purely because he's unhealthy.”
That’s exactly what I think? Just also think that he’s planning ahead.

god I hadn’t thought about it like that but you’re probably right
Oh, Ok I'm sorry. I meant I disagreed with planning ahead part. I didn't make that very clear. x

We were talking about Pete's money...and I just saw this (probably semi BS) article in Daily Fail- (apologies if link doesn't work, lol)
