Looks like it was a bit more serious than first assumed.

Ouch.

No matter the opinion of him, its still an 80 year old old boy getting beaten up - not nice.

Not sure why the Express feels the need to mention his divorce and the money his ex-wife may have received. Completely unneccessary.

Quite. The majority of this forum seems to believe that Bernie is, in fact, Satan incarnate, but I'm sure even the most anti-BE folks wouldn't cheer about this.

Meh, gives them something else to talk about other than the Royal family....

A damn shame...

... it wasn't Sepp Blatter

But seriously, I'm glad he wasn't harmed.

Who didnt see this coming?

Although I did crack a smile when I saw the title of the thread I must admit.

No4s face seems familiar, bouncing around in an animated gif. Possibly an OCUK in-joke?

I think that sums it up. Ofcourse nobody likes seeing an 80 year old man being beaten up, but I would have been a lot sadder if it had been anybody else.
