I thought they had cameras on them all the time.

In an attempt to win points with the voters they all overreacted. Winston's views are his own, shared by some but not the majority, he has no ability to influence people to agree with him, no power to change the law and is therefore irrelevant.

By overreacting, they give him more importance than he deserves, John was acting- badly, not because he is so insecure that the views of a narrow minded, man of low intelligence effect his life, but to gain popularity in a failing reality show.

Of course they do...more reason as to why did he not give his speech in the house then coming to the Diary room.

Agree...

Honestly it's getting to the point where people can't voice their opinion for fear of being called a bigot, racist or homophobe. For me atleast, whether you are straight or gay, it doesn't matter, I treat people as they come, sexual orientation, skin colour or religious belief doesn't concern me, only how you treat me and others, that is what's important.

I think those that do the accusing of people being bigots racist or homophobes actually are the ones who have the biggest problems.

I think you're being argumentative for no good reason to be frank, deliberately misrepresenting what has been said to advance your desire to discuss 'Gayness' rather than 'Hammy Insincerity', which is the actual topic.

But to some extent he is a representative of the gay community as Winston represents UKIP and gemma represents Essex girls. Because that's how some people view it and form opinions. Some BUT not all, and I'm not advocating it!

However I'm not for a moment suggesting that, for me, he represents gay men, but he does represent himself as a dreadfully desperate old lovey.

Scared the shit out of me with that hat on, i thought Freddy Kruger was coming to get me.

I think they were all a bit shocked at what Winston said - it was rather extreme.

What was more shocking though was his complete inability to explain his views - I found it extremely embarrassing to watch. This guy sees himself as a politician and a 'voice of the people'. I was absolutely appalled by his sheer ignorance and total lack of self awareness.

It was all rather sad and a bit pathetic.

Winston got kicked out of UKIP ..that's why David's comment was funny "On behalf of UKIP ..we love you "

'It was all rather sad and a bit pathetic' ...just a bit like John tonight.

Argumentative? I was repsonding to the whole insinuation of what the gay community must think of John's behaviour, so yes there was an insinaution that he is representing the gay community. John Partridge is representing John Partridge, so to no extent is he representing anyone other than himself.

He loves his 'Virtual Signaling' doesn't he.

Well I disagree and I think you are not being truthful and misrepresenting even though I've been very clear.
So anyway, we shan't speak again.
Good night.

Daft question but what is that ?

Virtue signalling, I think.

Or it means this is a Big Brother forum not a UN debate on nuclear weapons so I don't really need to come up with an insightful long winded intelligent response to say I disagree.

Also don't say I'm patronising then try and tell me what I mean.

To my astonishment and delight, the phrase ‘virtue signalling’ has become part of the English language. I coined the phrase in an article here in The Spectator (18 April) in which I described the way in which many people say or write things to indicate that they are virtuous. Sometimes it is quite subtle. By saying that they hate the Daily Mail or Ukip, they are really telling you that they are admirably non-racist, left-wing or open-minded. One of the crucial aspects of virtue signalling is that it does not require actually doing anything virtuous. It does not involve delivering lunches to elderly neighbours or staying together with a spouse for the sake of the children. It takes no effort or sacrifice at all.

I see ...Cheers

That performance was his audition piece that landed him the Eastenders gig.

They always want to BAN a lot of things as well, which betrays their true authoritarian nature.

He made me laugh because he looked so ridiiculous and I had the impression he thought he looked rather fetching.

In life it's inevitable that we don't all share the same opinions on things. I think we can all accept that. Surely sensible/rational people know when it's OK to voice an opinion and when to keep quiet. That's not being sneaky or underhand it's just how things are (especially in the BB house) if you want to get along.

As dense as Winston appears to be it's clear that he understood that - BB were wrong to throw his opinions out there for everyone to leap on. If the conversation had come about in the natural course of things then so be it,

I abhor Winston's opinions on gay adoption - I can't understand what he's getting at or why he would say that. On the other hand - I abhor that Big Brother put him in that position - he isn't bright enough or articulate enough to defend himself and it was a deliberate act to humiliate and ridicule him.

It's not that impressive, is it?

Charming innit???

Spot on.
