The Dragons’ Den series is largely based around millionaires stroking huge piles of cash, while proles beg at them. Based on this alone, none of the Dragons comes out of the show looking particularly good. Top of the pile of tits though is one Duncan Bannatyne, a dour Scottish businesscock with a face so sour, he could curdle water.

If you haven’t seen Dragons’ Den, five millionaires sit around glaring, while hapless amateurs pitch their business ideas. The entertainment mostly rocks up when the amateurs reveal some fatal flaw – their invention can kill; the business makes a massive loss every year; the inventor is massively irritating.

When this happens, Duncan comes into his own. He forgets that he’s on a light-entertainment business show, and acts personally affronted that the berk has had the temerity to stand in front of him. He becomes agitated, belligerent and can’t wait to shout the poor fucker down, show them what an insignificant turd they are.

Frankly, he comes across as a bullying shitbox, from exactly the same mould as a stereotypical Apprentice candidate. He huffs, he puffs, he shouts, he acts annoyed, and seems like he’s half a second away from launching his pen at the entrepreneur’s stupid, useless face.

Bannatyne is a keen user of Twitter, where he tweets prolifically and profoundly, on topics such as:

Good morning

and

Good Afternoon

Duncan really used social networking to its fullest when he received threats to kidnap his daughter:

Dear Dragon, I’m looking for a £35,000 investment to stop us hurting your Hollie Bannatyne. We will bring hurt and pain into your life.

A shitty thing to do to anyone, to be sure.

Duncan’s ill-advised response summed him up absolutely: A bully with a bit of cash knocking about.

And he searches for his own name on Twitter, which makes him a bell-end of the highest order.

   A truly awful pig of a man, will be the first to reject a product on moral/ethical grounds yet he started out in an ice cream van.

   Where was the concern about selling sugary crap to fatties? What about when he was SELLING those cereal bars in his health clubs that were intended to be given out free?

   Anyone remember his reaction to the I-teddy? I think he actually said it was immoral.

   Hypocrite!
