Not quite sure why my post was removed from here from last night considering I wasn't breaking any rules... I'll say again, personally I didn't find Hopkins to be a bully. I know I'm biased having KH as a series fav although I didn't mind her as a housemate, in the real world I have no interest in her, dislike the woman.
Helen was always a vile person. The only time I thought she came close to bullying really was with Jale, other than that she was just generally a bitter miserable woman.

A real bully in my humble opinion is someone who picks on a lesser defenceless person and constantly puts them down etc. The people who have been called bullies over the past few years for the most part have been called it for their attitude or actions to another housemate. I have not seen any weak and defenceless housemate in any of the last few series. Everyone is perfectly capable of standing up for themselves.
I don't condone awful behaviour to another housemate but I don't call the perpretator bully. I know only too well what A REAL bully is. Peace  |
I was bullied in school and agree completely with this, most sensible summary in here.
