If anything the intense hate for him from some just goes to show how unaccepting many are in this country. Proud to be unaccepting and intolerant of this nasty bully... Im sure if you asked his ex wife she would agree with that statement

He has his flaws like most other people and he has a past like most others too, it doesn't make him a bad person spousal battery and animal abuse makes him also as pure as mary poppins... silly me!!! and tbqh the vile insults I am seeing about him make me sick.

He won't deny he had drug problems in the past like many other celebs btw, in fact he is proud that he has been clean from drugs and alchol for a while now and rightly so, yes the addiction will have added to his problems but he has disabilities fgs he was in the crash and then years later he also had a major operation to remove a golf ball sized tumor from his sinus cavity.
Wow... you read Wikipedia and didn't see the stuff about the battery and abuse?
He is also 70 years old, I'm wondering how those housemates would feel if people were going around saying they wanted to 'smash' their granddads.
I'd be totally devastated if a relative of mine was anything like Busey
But on top of all this I just like him for being him, nothing to do with 'sympathy' before that starts getting posted in here too, I think he's a hilarious guy with a good heart and a bizarre attitude at times.

Thanks for that contribution to the thread.

Oh and this rubbish you keep spouting about abuse, maybe you should go read more than wiki. Gary was arrested for alleged assault but was never charged because there wasn't any evidence, so maybe you should be careful what you spread around about people btw.

It's why I feel bad for him. It's not a case of him isolating himself and playing the woe is me card. He tries all the time to have a laugh with the rest or to have conversations, but he's just struggling. He should chill with Claire and Audley. They seem the most mature in there from what we see.

I agree with this.

Obviously we are only seeing highlights and he will no doubt be irritating at times.. everyone is... but he does try to integrate.

He is very strange... quirky... He was always a bit like that, but it doesn't harm anyone. Some of the HMs need to realise that not everyone thinks the same way and accept Gary for the oddball he is. I find him quite interesting and would probably tend to talk to him more than others in there as I think he would have more interesting things to say, given the life he has led.

Me too Vanessa. I think the fame-hungry wannabes are just boring.

I thought Stephanie would be a vapid wannabe, but she seems to have a bit more substance to her as well. She could stay in for a while.

The only similarity between those two is that they're both being smothered by annoying dickheads and struggling to be themselves as someone keeps taking things too far. Masden-Welch, Gary-James.

Originally Posted by Vanessa (Post 7194519)

I think they will, because of the "bullying" situation. Facebook and DS is mostly pro Gary. They see him as the victim.

Hmm fair enough! Hope he does get cheered and wipe the smug smiles of their faces :laugh:
