Come the next election I will exercise my democratic right to vote the b*stards out.

Those that want to rebel against the necessary authority required to perpetuate a stable society, usually want to cherry pick what they want, i.e the freedom to say and do what they want, without the consequences that may attach to that behaviour. If everyone went round doing and saying exactly what they want no matter how their behaviour might offend or impact on others, society would quickly break down and open the door to dictatorship and anarchy. I prefer to live with the lesser of two evils, as the majority of people do, since at least there is some order and structure, and mutual protection and support.

If people want to be themselves and do nothing for others, they're welcome to do it elsewhere and not be hypocrites and leeches by availing themselves of other people's efforts and hard work.

Why do you see a Democracy, surely Dictatorship is more the model that happens year in year out of the BB house

Democracy is established through a clear and transparent voting structure, it's true that Vinnie has been voted leader and given authority by the other Hm's but he has gained the votes by being Tyranical and having other hm's fear his wrath

Of course society would break down without authority to moderate people's behaviour but it is Big Brother who is the authority figure in the house not the Hm with the best skills to put weaker Hm's down and make them feel bad about themselves, which Vinnie does gloriously. Or rather it should not be the person with the best put down skills, but year after year it is that.

If your standing up for Democracy you should be able to see the difference between a compassionate, effective, lawful form of Government ( ok, in my dreams), and Vinnie Jones on a power trip. I say power trip because of his words to Steph at the end of LF words to the effect of, i need people to play with now Sov has gone.

I'm sure Vinnie Jones is a fair bloke to his friends, trouble is i think for Vinnie to be fair to you, you have to be his friend. Fair enough for a normal Hm but do you have to be friends with your boss at work for him to treat you fairly? what about at the Police Station when you report a Burglary. Do you have to invite your local MP around to play video games and partake in some sh*ts and giggles before you can expect fair treatment?

NO that's because they are Authority.




To lead you have to have compassion, and Vinnie does not have that
