How desperately sad it was. I can't understand why this has happened. It almost felt like a betrayal. I hope he finds a new community that appreciates him.

Following Nigel Farrell's inaccurate, insensitive and extremely inappropriate comments in his book about some of the islanders. I find it difficult to understand, despite Mr.Farrell's subsequent apologies, how any of them agreed to appear in the latest series.
