00:15ego has led to it just devolving. We used to joke that he was like Imhotep from The Mummy and we

00:20needed to put him back where he came from. We kind of made him famous again, he wasn't very

00:25famous when we first met him. We kind of reignited that and it wasn't pleasant but then as time went

00:32on and as the fame and the money started rolling in again his behaviour changed, you know, he thought

00:37he was better than us, he thought he didn't need us and the attitude just became very nasty,

00:40misogynistic. I was particularly incensed after the Finsbury Park mosque attack when

00:45he was interviewed by Sky News and his, instead of focusing on the fact that a Muslim grandfather

00:51lost his life in that attack and taking any responsibility, Tommy was just in PR damage control mode.
