Pointless Posh `explorers’ With No Sense of Direction
Another day, another prattish posho with a chiselled jaw but no sense of direction is pointlessly wandering around Antartica, trying to do what exactly? Ben Saunders, 40, (40! He’s too bloody old for this nonsense!) is apparently `perilously close to running out of food’ and his family back in Blighty are frantic with worry.
Bizarrely, he is making this futile foray into the wilderness `in memory’ of his friend, fellow pointless explorer Colonel Henry Worsley, who died wandering round the South Pole trying to break some kind of record in 2016, leaving behind a widow and 2 children.
He follows hot on the heels of Benedict Allen who cunted off to find a lost tribe without any GPS equipment or a phone. Never mind the fact his wife and young kids were frantic with worry: he apparently deliberately went walkabout in an ‘old school’ manner as he wanted some alone time and ‘space’.
Typical bloody man. Why not just go to the pub like a normal person? Or get a shed?
A friend told a newspaper: ‘For people like Ben it’s about finding out more about yourself.’
He’s 57! If he doesn’t yet know himself, he never will. Explorers are supposed to be interested in the world, not their own navel.
Meanwhile, Sir Ranulph Fiennes was feted by the press for having to chop his own fingers off after getting frostbite while climbing a mountain somewhere. It’s not heroic, it’s stupid!
In 2003, Steven Boultby Brooks and his pal Quentin Smith were trying to break a ridiculous record for something and had to be rescued in Antartica by the Royal Navy after crashing their helicopter into the sea. And don’t get me started on Mark Thatcher.
`Exploring’ is just an excuse for under-employed old Etonians with trustfunds and mid-life crises to stumble around the planet before being rescued by plebs at the tax payers expense.
None of these cunts has a sense of direction that matches their sense of entitlement. Why are we even bothering to rescue them in the first place?
