One of the key points here actually is that BB are in TOTAL control of what is shown. Biggins didn't broadcast anything. They chose to broadcast his remarks. So if the bisexuals are offended then it is BB who offended them.

If the word "arachnophobia" suddenly had it's definition changed to "Irrational fear of spiders or not liking them very much or thinking they are a bit mean" then I would feel the same. Last edited by ThriceShy; 07-08-2016 at 05:03 PM. |

If people are dumb enough to use a word ending with "Phobia" to mean "prejudice against" then that is up to them. I won't recognise the word in that context. To me it means fear of gays. Sorry about that. |

So if you aren't in favour of the meaning of words changing do you declare 'I'm gay' when you're happy? Edited to add - This is pure nitpicking. Same as the Winston threads. Can't be arsed. Sorry about that.

It isn't nitpicking. Language is very important. |

If we were to take your very simplistic view on language, then using words like the N word would not be punishable by law.

Returned to the realization...
I'm watching propaganda produced by a Tyrannical Nanny State, run by Pedo's. It all makes sense, now. |

No, you're watching a light entertainment programme.
