That's where we differ on the opinion of him. Bullies come in all guises, he has his gang with him he plays to that audience feeds off them. True, not all the time he is picking on the weak, but he does attack the vulnerable and hey, I must have a longer, sharper memory than you. He threatened to hit a 70 year old man. He had to be dragged into line about his treatment of Gary at the start of the show and if he hadn't the bullying and mistreatment of a pensioner would have really got out of hand. He clearly had an agenda get rid of all the people he didn't like so he could run and rule the house how he wanted it. Life doesn't work like that. Sorry, he has all the signs of a bully and a coward. The remarks he made about Laurren then didn't have the balls to stand up and be accountable for his words. Then he back tracked after he was called out for it.

A classic bully with severe self esteem issues.
