He hardly said it in an aggressive way imo. Even Sam realised it was said tongue in cheek. Jasmine doesn't get him and Sam was trying to explain to no avail.

I think he sang to her 'f off' and as she's no shy retiring wallflower it's a bit rich to get all uppity about that. I can see her becoming tiresome in the house.

he said it because that's what total pricks do

I remember that very well and Brian went way down in my estimation, he was pathetic.

I'm no fan of Jim's but it seems many are ready to blame him for the world's ills at the drop of a hat.

Jasmine has been loud and irritating from the first night, I don't doubt she was ready to duet with Lee in some way or another.

Actually at first Sam was really shocked and embarrassed she turned to him saying shhhhhh. Jim told her 'I was joking'.

I don't think he was ...he is a very rude and aggressive man and this sort of talk is second nature to him. Who knows if and how Jasmine had peed him off earlier in the day but at the time he said it she was innocently walking past minding her own business.

That's simply the way he talks to people and dresses it up as a joke. I'm really not sure why people are pretending that Jim is anything other than he really is.

Basically because he's a misogynistic dinosaur trying desperately to keep his head down after a particularly bad year in the media, but sadly for him the mask is slipping.

I've never met a person who has worked with Jim who doesn't have a bad word to say abut him. Most of them have several words, all of which are generally censored in police society.

Yea Jim's just a nasty piece of work. Julian Clary he aint

It was banter, which yanks dont understand.
