I hope he is still on that "train" as he says...must be real hard to climb on board with so many in the house antagonistic towards him. Whilst many here will be quick to say he has brought it on himself....if he is shown to be more isolated (as Hopkins wants and has asked for i.e. "isolate the bastard") - it could backfire on Hopkins and gain sympathy for him. You don't have to like someone to not want them to be bullied.
