In Scotland? LOL half the country would be locked up.
Austin's behaviour is potentially criminal.

Do you really think the police would waste time going into the big brother house to arrest Austin for shouting at Janice and calling her a c***? It's a tv show. They're all playing the game their way to win. People being unpleasant, people arguing and people having a dislike to someone else on a TV show might annoy you but nobody in there has done anything close to deserve or warrant being arrested.

Agreed it does feel that way sometimes, call me crazy but i believe men and women should be regarded as equals.

Correct me if I'm wrong but at one point this series, around the time of the royals task Janice called about 5 of the housemates the c word one night in a conversation with somebody. is it more offensive coming from Austin because he is male?

No, we have never had such horrible and sustained abuse. Tonight was a new low.

What about the Scottish charge of 'putting the lieges in a state in a state of fear and alarm'? :
Or maybe he could be silenced under the Noise Abatement Act.
There must be some way to deal with his blubbering and screeching.

And spitting at someone is not quite as bad? Has everyone forgotten how disgusting Janice has been to Austin. She has also used language just as vile as he has.

It's a similar law in England and Wales, though it was amended in 2012 to include the 'banter' clause.
For goodness sake. I was merely making a technical point. I do t actually expect the Met to storm the BB house.

That's my point of view also. Yes, it was an awful outburst by Austin, but he's not the only one to have shown that behaviour. I do think he is genuinely disgusted with himself too.

This comment just shows how low standards of behaviour and expectations of such have sunk in society today.
Doesn't justify a response even but I could not ignore it.
