I read about them last week - took them long enough.
Well, if it's because of his tweets then they go back years, which means that either BB didn't do any checking, or else they did, but chose to ignore it.

Wasn't keen on him TBH but at least he added some intellect

Maybe it was at the back of my mind, but all this 'soldier' crap I found unnerving.. I didn't really want to say so in light of the recently terrible events in Orlando, but I could just see him in a pseudo military 'Rambo'esque get up..

I prefer it that way personally, Andrew was taking BB to far down the 'Tactical' route of BBUSA for my liking, with no 'Victor' humour about him.
Someone over on DS had e-mailed C5 earlier asking why Andrew hadn't been removed. He got the following reply:
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding Big Brother.
As Andrew is an active participant at this time, it is neither possible nor appropriate for him to be asked to deal with these allegations. It would be unfair on Andrew if this were to happen. Part of the format of Big Brother involves participants being cut off from the outside world and interacting only with themselves or guests approved by the producers. In the ordinary course, housemates are not required to account for their past behaviour, actual or alleged. Rightly, the production team's concerns are about the behaviour exhibited and the language used by housemates whilst in the house.
In the case of Andrew, extensive checks of his social media activity were undertaken prior to his entry in the House and subsequent to the allegations about the tweets said to have been posted on his account. The tweets which have been the subject of publicity were not located on either occasion. At the moment, Channel 5 and Big Brother are not aware that there is any proof that Andrew posted the offensive tweets in question. Without such proof, it would be unfair and inappropriate to condemn Andrew.

Unbelievable - literally. 
I was about to say how can he tweet when he's in the house. Then realised they are from a few years ago.
i didn't realise that you have to have been squeaky clean all your life to have a place in Big Brother. In fact i don't think you do, I'm sure others have done as bad or worse in the past and still been let/left in there.
Marco openly said the other night that he'd bought 250k worth of cocaine 
That said, he seemed to be a bit of a prick so not too fussed that he's gone.

Well, you're right of course, Crunchy. We don't expect HMs to be angels, and indeed we probably wouldn't want them to be. However BB has a duty of care towards other HMs, and Ofcom rules to abide to - even if they've generally ignored both in the past... 
I don't watch CBB, but my understanding is that a precedent was set when BB removed Tila Tequila because of previous Facebook posts she'd made (the DS poster I quoted above had e-mailed C5 over the question of why they'd removed Tila but not Andrew).
Personally I lost any faith in Endemol's judgement in HM selection during the run-up to BB7. It turned out that only two years after "Fight Night", Endemol had knowingly tried to put in two HMs with criminal records - one for violence. C4 vetoed them, but instead of apologizing, Endemol leaked the story to the press and complained about C4's meddling!

He really does think he's the most intelligent, CIA operative the world has ever seen.

Shame Andrew has gone though.
I thought he was removed due to a video of him allegedly belting a girl, although he claims it's been edited to make it look bad. If this is the reason & it has been edited, he should release the full video. Wouldn't you?
Oh and while I'm here in a spoiler thread. Have any of you seen the vile tweet Ryan sent to Luke A? Plus the vine he tweeted of himself 'blacked up'? He's an odious little cretin.
Having thought about it I have to say that I'm constantly amazed at the double standards we see from C5 . On the one hand we have Andrew being evicted ....on the other hand we have the * risky* practices and filth that comes out of from many of the other contestants mouths nightly. And if they really are worried about tweets etc. how come the likes of Katie Hopkins was allowed in there !

Nothing would surprise me about him ....and I totally agree .....both he and Marco make my skin crawl 
DUE DILIGENCE
My FB feed said that Ryan is facing being chucked out as well

And mine Kaytee ....but we couldn't be that lucky
Ha ha! GBP pick two OTHERS to go into the main house and mess them around and the result being they both get chucked out.
