Sam: "Hey kids, it doesn't matter if you are partially deaf..... you too can be an arrogant yobbo like me!"

Superb role model!

Anyone on here still believe he's doing it for anything other than himself?

Nasty Sam's true colours came out last night he aint there to be a role model he is there for the money...

Sam won't be suing the Daily Star... it'd take all the prize money to pay for that kind of litigation.

Anyhoo... lovin' your work on this thread Marmalite.

Thank you!

I without being bragging in any way, can happily say I treat the Daily Stars headlines as the rubbish they likely are.

It is amazing though, how all the Dexter stories so far this series have been rubbished as nonsense,likely very rightly so too,however a headline negative as to Sam is paraded as gospel in that paper.

That would have to then give some creedence to the Dexter stories if this one is suddenly now, (because it suits), being presented as fact as to Sam by anyone.
Unbelievable double standards.

From both sides, in all honesty.

Some who dislike Dexter have for weeks clung to the negative stories about him in the rags. Yet now dont believe this.

And some who like Dexter rubbished his stories, and now believe this.

Lets not pretend the double standards are all one sided

My post categorically stated that I myself had never given any creedence at all as to the Daily Star stories, I have been 100% consistent on that.
For me it is as bad as the Sun with the rubbish it prints as to people.

However, for those who have said the stories about Dexter were wrong in the rubbish paper to now be presenting as gospel a story against Sam or anyone in fact, not just Sam, that is to me double standards.
That was my point.

Clearly you again don't agree with me as to that but never the less, I have been totally consistent in never giving any attention to, or creedence to, any nonsensical Daily Star story whatsoever as to the housemates,even during the hazel/Daley saga.

Joey I am not saying that you had ever believed a star article (I give you much more credit than that ). I was just pointing out that the double standards you mentioned go both ways.

I think its ridiculous for anyone to believe the star when it comes to BB really. If we were to listen to it, BB has had terrorist threads and MI5 storming the house and such

It says he hit them "because they got in the way of his shots" so he could be meaning that he deliberately was hitting them with his backswing or something instead of asking them to move

If the story has any truth to it, this seems much more likely. Its still quite rude to not just say excuse me though..most people would move for you to take your shot. No need to jab em in the ear with the cue

I have never understood why most pubs have a pool table so close to the seating though

The ear is not the part of the anatomy that is most likely to get jabbed.

read the replies to the story

[CaudleHalbard]

Hold on one tiny second!

Saying Dexter is not the PR guru he claims to be or that Gina is not rich is a different scale of things to saying Sam is a violent lout.

Hopefully you can see that?

[lippyzippy]

. if you want the truth I suggest you scan down the page at some of the replies

[CaudleHalbard]

Whatever he has been doing it was sufficient for Sam to get banned from his local pub.

I'm betting none of the other housemates can wear that badge of pride!

[Vicky.]

Depending on how long you are.

[CaudleHalbard]

I love threads like this, where fans of the housemate concerned wriggle and twist, rather than face reality!

OK, I will make my prediction and everyone is welcome to throw it back in my face if I turn out to be wrong.

I predict that Sam will neither sue the Daily Star nor even make a complaint to the press supervisory body.

Why do I say this? Because the Daily Star is a national newspaper. It is not Private Eye. The DS literally cannot afford to accuse someone of being a violent pub lout unless they are at least 99% sure of the accuracy of the story. They could be taken to the cleaners, if they have got it wrong or have made it up.

The press can - and will - make up all sorts of stories, but accusing a person of (in effect) criminality is a very serious matter. I will venture to suggest this story has been vetted at the highest editorial and management levels... maybe even by Richard Desmond himself, given his ownership of both the Daily Star and Channel 5.

To be fair I think they can when the Star are merely quoting the Pub landlord, if they were taken to court or anything all they need to say is that they were relating what they were told, they have named their source after all so the blame would lie with him not the newspaper I believe

That would be absolutely no defence.

The landlord may have verbally slandered Sam but, by publishing the slander, that becomes libel by whoever published it.

Libel is more serious, but easier to prove, than slander.The DS would not have a leg to stand on.

I reckon Sam could easily get Ł50k out of this especially if (say) he loses his job as a result. But only if it's untrue!

In what way? Did he not ban Sam from his pub?

What happened to you being a "former Dexter fan" who only recently went off Dexter and changed your allegiance to Sam?
