True but I was simply responding to the statement that 'I've never heard him make s physical threat or seen him get up into anyone's face or lunged st someone'

would have been rude of me not to reply

I have not had a go at Hughie, or made any comment about his traveller background etc, but I just cannot believe that ANYONE can have watched him in the BB House these past few weeks AND viewed that video, then disputed the view on here that he is unstable, aggressive AND threatening.

It is Hughie who is aggressive.
It is Hughie who is shouting.
It is Hughie who is poking his finger towards the person he his shouting at.
It is Hughie who is aggressively advancing into the personal space AND face of the person he is shouting at.
It is Hughie whose face is both flushed with anger AND maniacally contorted with the same.

In my book, that evidence convinces me too, that he is unstable, aggressive, and so volatile that he represents a potential physical danger to whoever happens to be the target of his rage.

Had it been me he was confronting in such a manner, I would have been on the balls of my feet with my fists clenched READY to defend any attack from him.

Sorry.

Sorry.

exactly my comments also have nothing to do with him being a traveller my comments on him are simply for him being a dickhead

You don't need to be sorry Kirk as I have said people are free to judge him on his actions in the house as they see fit, however none of the examples in the OP are based on anything other than bigotry and ignorance and jokey comments which if they were levied at many other communities would have the forum in uproar

As I have already said on this thread I have no problem with your opinion on him in the house

It surprises me that fans of BB would be so quick to judge someone based on stereotypes. Surely one of the main reasons for enjoying a show like this is that you get to know what someone is really like over weeks of viewing them, and you get to see that more often than not, lazy cultural stereotypes are just that, and the individual person is usually pretty different. One of the best things about BB is it's ability to highlight that imo.
I haven't actually seen many of the examples of him being stereotyped to be honest though, so I'm just speaking generally.
