Silly Youtubers slagging off Devin


I watched the Blue Peter interview with some of the cast recently on YouTube. I've already seen it on my DVD, but was interested in seeing what other people think.

A few idiots (you always get them) were slagging off Devin Stanfield, saying he was stuck-up, snobby etc and calling him rude names.

There was no need for this. Devin wasn't slagging anyone off himself, putting anyone down or even boasting. He was just politely answering questions and talking about playing Jim Hawkins in a Treasure Island theatre play with his dad. Fortunately, some people contradicted the slaggers-off and pointed out that he was doing nothing wrong.

Being "posh" or well-spoken does not make you a snob! Snobs are people who look down on others or consider themselves better. There is no evidence that Devin or any of the BOD cast or crew are snobby. They seem like a nice, decent bunch of people. And when I listened to an online interview with Jonathan Stephens, aka Chubby Joe, they all enjoyed working together.
