"They had also seen us as just a bunch of freeloading backpackers", I hate to say I told you so, but......I have to admire his faith in his fellow man.

I bet he's still drawing unemployment benefit. I would have more respect for these "alternative lifestyle" people if I wasn't contributing to their welfare.

I love the way these people can't see their own contradictions:

hoped that strangers along the way would provide him with food and places to stay.

Eeejit. They should make him swim back. And not from Calais to Dover - make him go from Cherbourg...

Like Doug, I shudder to think that I pay the best part of a grand a month in tax to fund freeloaders like him.

"He is a member of the Freeconomy movement, which believes in a " moneyless society in which no money changes and there is no duality between giving and receiving", and would like to see money disappear altogether"

And the sign on his backpack:

"Walking 12,000km for Peace"

those are funny!  How exactly are goods and services going to change hands in a society with no money nor duality between giving and receiving?  The strong will take from the weak.  The whole freeconomy movement is nothing but economic justification of violence.

TSC:

'Freeloading', 'complete opposite', so he expects people he's never met before to provide him with food & shelter wherever he is, in exchange for no money - he doesn't even mention doing a few odd jobs here & there to make up for food & shelter provided - if thats not 'freeloading' then I don't know what is.

Exaclty.  How is what he was doing anything but freeloading?  What a moron.  If he's so anti-duality of giving and receiving, then perhps he should work on the giving part.  I doubt there would be as much objection if the guy were giving stuff away instead of taking.

...flippin' eck... ...!

...after he's spent 18 Months frantically learning French, he obviously hasn't taken a peek at his Trusty Map of the World, and noticed that his next problem is when he reaches the Italian Border....and so on... ...!

Dear-oh-dear... ...!

There's one born every minute....
...if not sooner...!.....!

I guess you couldn't be too critical if the sign was given for free.
