This is the cbb section and this thread is about the current series

And the current series has been quite dramatic so you are more likely to get people posting about CBB here who have never posted about CBB before.....

Yup, and I am watching this series of BB, and am commenting in the relevant thread.

Just saying.

Again, there's something rich about people applying freedom of speech (an American concept) to CBB (a British show)

Wouldn't trying to educate them as to the error of their ways be a wiser response than just "twatting them" as you so eloquently put it?

That is great but i am afriad that is not even close to what we are talking about

ken was evicted for retelling a 20 year old anecdote where he played the character of a early 20th century toff

Sadly this has not been grasped by many on here. Or indeed understood

I never realised using *coloured* to describe a black person was racist till last year ffs its getting ridic now lol

I have to agree but sometimes its tempting to just do it the old fashioned way!

Errr did u deliberately omit the first time and way he used the word in this post?

[LeatherTrumpet]

In fact half the problem is most people had no understanding of the character he was lampooning.

Or the problem is most people know that was not the first time he used the word and were quite shocked how he used it the first time.. and were not expecting him to say it again... without at least thinking..

See, it is often hard to know what you should or should not be expressing

[Dollface]

I don't think he's racist tbh, the things he said were inappropriate and something i personally wouldn't say, but saying a racist word doesn't automatically make someone racist, if that makes sense.

he was given a warning for using it first time.. he then used it a second time as you have said THAT is the full reason why he was evicted.. not quite as simple as you tried to make it sound.

Maybe not racist, but extremely disrespectful.

Oh yes definitely, he was rightly removed (but i think that's what he was hoping for; he already had a warning so only a complete tit would repeat the same word after already being warned)

Maybe you dont care, but if you wanna use racist words to describe different ethnicities, well that make you racist. Deal with it.

The circus is started by the newspaper and magazine and news channel owners who have only one thing in mind, and that is MONEY, MONEY and MONEY!!! and whatever story that comes along (no matter who's life or lives they can destroy by printing their story/incident), they will do it.

Big Brother is a huge reality show and a good juicy story that creates interest and can make them sell a few more newspapers, etc will indeed be printed, so it is they who start the media circus as people believe what they read. So if the headlines say Ken Morley is a Perv and a Racist, they will print that and very gladly, so naturally Ken has to defend himself, or what Perez said in the house could indeed come true

...because what we are really talking about is the failiure of most people to grasp the true character of an early 20thC toff.

I think you may have joined me off topic.
