Serves the daft c*nt right for wearing £200K's worth of jewellery thus making himself a target.

I despise the greedy bastid.

His words come back to bite him (on Button's attempted mugging in Brasil) LOL

“They [robbers] look for victims, they look for anyone that looks like a soft touch and not too bright,” he contended.

Makes me wonder if someone was paid to mug him. I mean with what he said about those mugged (not just Button) in Brazil was pretty low, even by his standards.


memo from Button:

Who could possibly want to rob a sweet old man like Bernie? A man who is completely selfless.... etc etc.

Deffo karma.

He's a Billionaire. Why shouldn't he wear nice expensive jewellery?

Just because you can afford to buy something expensive, doesn't mean you deserve to get mugged for it.

What should he do? Only wear it indoors? Maybe he should log on to Scoobynet and post up a "What Watch" thread?

If you buy an expensive car, do you then deserve to have it knicked?

Not overly fond of him, but as above hes 80 and a mugging is a mugging.

Anyhow if old rumours are anything to go by Bernie is one man you do not want to upset. Good luck to him.

Fair point.
Mr. E consistently manages to sully his public image with his ill-considered comments and 'Greed is Good' philosophy, and I've no great liking for him personally. However I don't think he deserves a beating just because he's loaded and likes to show it off a bit.

200 grand, even of really expensive stuff on a little fella like that, must have looked like
BA Barracas !


I dont like to say serves him right, I dont like him but next time it could be your grandad getting mugged so I would never advocate anyone being victim to that.

Agreed. I am worried if people on here think that mugging an 80 year old in London is a good thing, or something to be proud of.

Bet Bernie managed to get all the cash from the Muggers wallet at the same time, judging by the way he empties anyones who goes to see a race !

Not certain, but there is a rumour Button was seen in a Pawn shop just after the event.

Don't like to hear of anyone being mugged, but if someone has to be mugged...........

No one likes a smart ****.

One of the problems with trying to post when at work, is having do it very quickly, and very quietly.

The odd spelling mistake may occur. I'm sorry everyone.

Muggings happen all the time, he is aware the same as everyone else, i wouldn't park my car in the local council estate overnight, if it got nicked, some would say i deserved it for being so careless irrespective of whether i could afford it or not. Wear 200k of jewelery with caution, the irritating little **** is getting little sympathy because he is an irritating little ****, not because he is rich.
