Spot The Difference II.

Further to the previous post in which David Shayler was seen to explain how he came to terms with his status as the reincarnation of King Arthur - amongst other things - here is a wonderful video of Mr Rothwell sitting first upon a throne and explaining how he avoided existential crisis by deciding that he was King Arthur and later upon a park bench speaking of his confrontation with doubt and acceptance that magic will provide.

Women want to get with him, apparently. Fight the power.

Spot The Difference.

John Timothy Rothwell, known to his friends as King Arthur, who in turn are known to him as the Loyal Arthurian Warband, believes he is the reincarnation of the legendary King Arthur of Britain. He’s not alone in elevating himself to the throne, however, as everyone’s favourite discredited spook David Shayler also lays claim to the name and title. I’m sure there must be others. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were enough King Arthurs to fill an entire round table of their own. Perhaps it’s a natural part of the midlife crisis - ditch your wife, grow your hair long, grow a beard, start dating younger women, buy a motorcycle, get religion, grab a sword and announce to the nation that you are King Arthur.

Shayler says that he can change the weather as well, not an unusual claim among people who claim to be pagan or who call themselves witches but I think that those who make it should be aware of the company which they keep. I wouldn’t be surprised if Shayler recants in the next year or so, announces himself as the reincarnation of Obi-Wan Kenobi and starts trading as a reiki master with the ability to heal a myriad of illnesses which medicine cannot touch - only less absurd than being the reincarnation of King Arthur on account of the hordes of unscrupulous con artists who claim to be so miraculously gifted.
