wrong way round Mes - this being a tabloid story, its no more likely to be
entirely accurate or without embelishment than any other

....and tabloids are tabloids are tabloids. *it wasn't on the front page therefore its more likely to be true* doesn't wash...

well i thought that was the jist of the story - are you saying now that that version isn't that likely?

not really - the point is it isn't really about Cameron, its about the reliability, accuracy and nature of tabloid reporting.

“They seemed to like him......”
to the point where they were happy to overlook the fact that he might pose a serious threat, ie murder, to some of the other HMs? producers don't *like* HMs
that much Mes....

but does Cameron actually have a history of violence?
Quote:
“Yes...about only one person....out of all of them...why Cameron Iain....why not the others...Why not Lisa? Come on Iain...stand up for the others with the same passion and I'll start to believe you're just on a quest for common sense......”
i don't doubt Cameron isn't any more perfect than any other HM - but he's the only one being made out to be a violent woman beating psychopath.

“Ah..not everything...as in something...Yet you will not entertain the belief that despite a number of people telling you that this story is true you will expand countless time on posts to argue that it cannot possibly be......Why this story we have to wonder? ”
well, a number of people who really really don't like Cameron saying they think its true, based on some comments he made in the house and *that look in his eyes*, isn't really the same as knowing it is true, word for word, is it?
Quote:
“I can conclude he threatened to throttle someone...because he did...by that I can can take it that the tiny Mirror article wasn't made up since we know he'd tell the country he wants to choke someone when he's sobre when he's out on the booze he's not likely to be that much different is he........”
well yes, but only if you want to presume that people always mean exactly what they say, and what they say exactly represents what they would actually do. i'd say that was quite an assumption to make. do you mean absolutely everything you ever say?
