why isnt anyone pulled up on the fact that they take the p**s out of freddy and his accent.
there all idiots in my opion.
lizza last night had a go at freddy for interferring in the marcus arguement but said nothing before when noiren buttedin.
theres a plain case of bullying towards freddy even though having said that he is the most annoying person I have seen.
sorrry for going off on a tangent.

because the British public havent complained about it yet.

BB is controlled in what they can and cant do by the vocal minority of knee jerk over sensitive complainers out there in la la land.

I honestly dont see why the majority on this forum see BB as the enemy in this... they just have to play according to the stated public opinion. Don't blame them, blame the whiners who drop letters to Ofcom over every tiny issue.

What I would say is that I love the fact he had ago at the pc lot at channel four , i think the warning was for that ,as much as anything else they were undermined, and they back tracked from what they oringinally said because marcus stuck up for himself and didnt back down, fair play to him for that at least.

/sigh...

BB only showed what they wanted to show. Thats just a fact.

They gave him full right to reply and broadcast it in a way that gave him a platform to express what a lot of us, and obviously they as well, find really annoying about the censorship that is imposed on them by a tiny vocal minority of over sensitive complainers out there.

The warning was for the threating behaviour, nothing more nothing less.

A lot of misplaced anger on this forum I think.

I was really glad to see Marcus stick up for himself, he was 100% right with what he said in the diary room. I'm glad he brought up the mocking of Freddy's accent because I thought the exact same thing!

I admire Marcus for standing up to BB like that, I'm sick and tired of the slightest thing being considered racist, and the sad fact is they can be racist to us white Brits and nothing is said, I can think of hundreds of instances where people are racist to whites!!

BB agree with you on your views, as they have demonstrated.

Does it bug you when other HM's imitate other housemates accents? If Marcus had got into an argument with Charlie and imitated a Geordie accent in a condescending manner would it bug you?

"Sree is not. Therefore it is seen as racism. Marcus is a bully and an idiot, but probably not a racist. Also, he's an ugly bug eyed Wolvering fake who cannot formulate a rational argument to save his c**p sideburns. He loves himself and I can see no reason for him to."

Double standards. You're suggesting an individual get special treatment on account of their race. That sir, is racist.

"Wolvering fake who cannot formulate a rational argument to save his c**p sideburns."

LOL - and this ^ is your idea of a rational argument? I am going to assume you are 15 years old, it can be the only explanation for your lack of deeper insight.

Marcus, out of all the house mates has a truly outstanding ability to clarify a point and sum up an issue... as so demonstrated in the diary room yesterday and agreed with by the vast majority of the population according to what's been written about it today.

I couldn't stand sree because he was in my opinion a pest, you couldn't brush him off, he was over people like some unwanted cancerous growth... his inability to say sorry and admit when he was in the wrong even when faced with blatent evidence and witnesses ( the sivash race for eg ) was sickening...( delusions of grandure, inability to empathise etc...everything done with only winning in mind ) all these terms point to someone with a sociopathic personality disorder, I wonder if they are screen properly prior to entering the house.

However... playing devils advocate here for a moment I do believe Marcus disliked him immensely and singled him out more than once to have a pop at which was wrong..but I think that's more because Marcus is an amazingly accurate judge of character and he dosn't hold back or mince his words about it. With someone like that you've got to take the rough with the smooth.

Hes a lot older than a lot of them in there with vastly more life experience, hence the reason he was never going to just roll over and accept sree pulling the racist card, I'm glad it was him because what he said in that diary room needed saying!

[ILoveFreddie]

He was amazing in the diary room, he said exactly what loads of people are thinking and I just love him for it

Mocking an Indian accent doesnt make some one racist but that person is defintely ignorant and stupid for trying to defend it when confronted. I'm glad BB called him into the diary to confront him about it; if others have got away with mocking Freddies accent then thats something the producers should have dealt with but that does not make Marcus actions right.
