..so at some point I’m sure this will be discussed on the forum and people will obviously have very differing opinions, I’m a little undecided myself as to when he went into the house and the preconceived opinions I had in that I have listened/read what other people have to say and thought about their views..what he said was extremely racist and couldn’t have been mistaken/perceived in any other way..the fact that he didn’t realise it was being recorded makes it worse in some ways because that might be how he genuinely is all the time..or maybe he just said something ‘out of character’ and it’s ruined his career, which I don’t dispute was exceptional , he’s certainly very good at what he did and everyone is flawed but for me some flaws can be overlooked and some define that person ...I’ve also read that he ‘made one mistake and has been sorry/apologised ever since’ but I recall seeing him in Wife Swap with Tessa Sanderson a little while afterwards and he didn’t appear sorry at all and refused to discuss it, he seemed quite arrogant about the whole thing..it was only at the end when his wife ‘spoke to him’ that he appeared to even listen to what anyone was trying to say..maybe she helped him understand why what he said was so wrong because he genuinely didn't realise..?..or maybe she helped him to understand that he should ‘appear’ to be sorry etc..I don’t really know..I would quite like it if it was discussed in the house at some point to hear what he himself has to say now, he would never be a favourite for me anyway just because he doesn’t stand for much I admire in a person, his career just isn’t enough to make his character..but do you think he is a racist and can you like someone even if they are because of other positive qualities about them..?..I’m genuinely interested in people’s opinions....
