I'm not up on the stuff KH says. Did she actually say that? I was going to ask in what context was it said - but it shouldn't be said EVER.

I've just looked it up and she tweeted something about Palestinians in tunnels being rodents and Israel should bomb them after some israeli soldiers were murdered. Couldn't see anything about dead children. Probably a topic she should avoid but I imagine it's a view shared amongst a high proportion of pro israelis

Katie's really just a cut-price, British Ann Coulter isn't she?

Before she went in I thought she was a complete hypocrite, slagging off Z-listers whilst sitting firmly in that world.
Having seen her in the house she seems better than I thought, I'm not sure if thats because alongside Perez minor dictators would look a bit lovable.

I firmly believe she plays an act on this morning and her act is being controversial and playing devils advocate.

I stopped watching 2 weeks ago after Ken get chucked out. I want the right to choose who leaves based on their behaviour not big brother. The whole show has changed and is too scared to allow real warts and all reality. It's just another super PC scripted reality show now. I don't want to watch people trying hard not to be the true assholes they really are.

Absolutely 100% NO.. The one thing that I think should be monitored - is threats of violence. But BB seems okay to allow that with a slap on the wrist but if someone makes a politically incorrect faux pas.. they are publicly reprimanded and/or ousted.

It was quite ironic that during the time Ken was getting reamed then expelled... Most of the rest of the world was rallying behind France and our right to freedom of expression, even if it offends.

Let me clear - I do NOT like the N word or any variation of it. It makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable... however, I still do not agree with expelling someone over it.

That's a brilliant clip...

"Here's how great it is to be white, I can get in a time machine, go anywhere in time and it would be f******g awesome to get there! Black people can't **** with time machines"

"And I'm a man. I'm a white man. How many advantages can one person have?? You can't even hurt my feelings".

Fact is, there's no free speech really. The Equality Act prohibits harassment if you fall into one of the protected groups (eg race, transgender, etc) and this includes offensive banter. And yes we have free speech enshrined in the Human Rights Act but there are exemptions, eg " threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior intending or likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress (which has been used to prohibit racist speech targeted at individuals)".

BB is both an employer of sorts and accountable to OFCOM whose rules are here http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bro...e/harmoffence/

I thought this was really emphasised during the ridiculous discussion between Perez and Patsy when he tried to convince her she'd made a racist comment to Alex when she clearly hadn't. The look of horror on her face when she thught she'd unwittingly become this years Jo O'Meara was so telling. Its almost like they're walking a career tightrope and hoping to fall off the right side.

Agree: I posted a thread akin to this subject as seriously did not know that n*g*oe was an offensive word as one hears African Americans use it. Similarly, was unaware that 'coloured' and 'fag*ot* are unacceptable (knowing that Perez has used the latter term in his blogs). Several FMs, tantamount, accused me of racism and inferred I had a subversive reasons for my post so I conclude that people interpret and twist things in their own minds to find objectivity and then make others feel they are bad people for expressing a query/view - what a sad state of affairs!

I would say 'no'. Why not let the public decide if the housemate is offensive or not? I can totally understand why they would remove someone who strikes or sexually assaults another person but it seems very heavy handed to kick someone out because BB don't like their outdated opinions or way of expressing themselves. There's no evidence Alexander had a problem with Ken for example and he actually seemed shocked when Ken was removed.

No you are not alone ..as far as I am concerned they can say what they like .I suppose we have to try to avoid thumping each other but that is as far as it goes all else should be ok it is a TV show and THIN SKINNED PEOPLE NEED NOT WATCH .....

I agree Perez accosted will.i.am calling him faggot for not coming out which ended with Perez getting thumped and immediately blogging as he was fearing for his life and then bursting into tears whilst forgetting to tell the police. So Perez finds faggot u offensive to use but offensive to have levelled at him.
