???

You still haven't explained what she has done (other than the offensive haircut and relatively homely appearance ;) ). Did she try to kill someone or something like that (they actually had an experience similar to that on the American version of the show)?

If it is just based on appearance, I need to introduce you to the American Big Brother 3. On there was a fat, ugly, middle aged school teacher named Gerry. Gerry would walk around a lot without his shirt on, and it was not a pretty sight. He would also go to the bathroom, not wash his hands, then prepare dinner for the house. [img]graemlins/repuke.gif[/img] He didn't win, but unless this Kitty has done worse than that I really can't see the complaints.

Then again, I haven't seen your version of the show, so maybe I am being naive. :D

Well-put Davvy old boy. Coming into the thread I was pretty clueless too.... Mr. Jammy Donut here loves to wallow in his feeling of superiority at knowing worthless stuff that no one cares about :D but anyway from what Barry said, Kitten was in the alliance for workers' liberty and is now on Big Brother? Alliance for Workers' Liberty??? Liberty from what? Being paid? Having to work? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Liberty from the yoke of capitalist oppression. Its a Communist thing.

So technically yes, liberty from being paid and liberty from having to work. But of course, theres a bit more to it than that... ;)

Don't give me your Communist thing Barry. I certainly hope you know what you're doing if you've got communist ideals. It's been tried and it doesn't work. Remember I was born into Communism. Try and give everyone the same wage and everyone gets work. Sounds good but what happens is people sit around all day drinking coffee and don't work and still get paid. There's no motivation to work or work hard. The economy goes bust. With capitalism, the motivation is there to work for yourself and it works overall.

I could go on about the failures of Communism but bleh...

why do you want liberty from having to work anyway? True, socialist systems provide more support to those less able to work etc. but then you can easily fall into what I described above. All motivation to do well, all ingenuity etc. is gone :( How else did all the Communist states end up so much poorer than the west?

Whilst I would love to this is hardly the time or place for me to disabuse you of these foolish notions...

OT. It's actually easy to drown a number of kittens by putting them in a sack first. My Grandmother did it on many occasions!

Kitten was just obnoxious (obviously not as serious as being fat and not wearing a shirt). She was the "Rebel without a clue", the only BB housemate ever to get booed as they entered the house.

She railed against the establishment, she ficked the finger at the Queen and she was particulary vehement against the press.

A true rebel, a working man's hero! A class warrior.

How shocked I was when I saw that she had taken money from the News of the World" for a "sexy" photoshoot two days after her eviction.

Now don't get me started on that Geordie slapper Michelle!!

As I'm sure you are aware Davy boy, I was being deliberately ethnocentric!!

Hahahah! Foolish notions....yes I am sure you know so much with your oh-so-wise head of twenty-something years. I'll take what I've been told by my grandmothers and others who've lived through 50 years of communism more seriously I think.

Normally i woulden't mind this but this dosen't seem like that kind of a forum.

I will say this however, just because you are left wing, or pro comunism for that matter, dosen't mean you aprove of the different "comunist" dictatorships (USSR, kambodja, north korea etc) that we have seen over the years. In my opinion it's not even viable to use these as examples.
