I’m smiling, so I must be happy
Davina, in her defense of Big Brother, following GG’s accusation of bullying, cited the fact that the ‘victims’ of the bullying were all happily enjoying themselves and none the worse for their experiences.
I can remember all too well what a smile people got on their face in the playground when the bully turned their attention onto someone else, and also how readily targets of bullying comply to the dominant culture if it looks like it will take them out of the firing line.
