Now, if a news channel was heavily restricting / cutting out people's comments I'd be far more concerned.
I guess think of it this way: If you're out in a public space, like a park for example, and you hear someone saying something that you don't like. That's tough ****. You can challenge them on it / try to debate with them but you can't order them to leave the park. That's the right to free speech. If a guest in YOUR house starts saying something you don't like or don't want to hear, you can kick him out on his arse. You can use reasonable physical force to remove that person, even, or call the authorities. That person can't whine about his right to free speech in YOUR HOME - he has NO such right.
The BB house belongs to the production company. It is their property. It is their show. Full stop, end of discussion, it is not a free speech issue.

i understand what you are saying but not everyone thinks the way you do i have had people in my home home saying out loud things that i did not like but i have never kicked them out i like to know why a person thinks that way and discuss the issue only once did someone not like the fact that i called them out on a comment he got soooooo angry he left on his own accord came back 2 days later and apologized i still confronted him........we are the best of friends now and its because he knows he be honest to the bone with me and i wont lose the plot and thats the type of people that are my true friend it also works both ways what you have to understand is we all have said thing not meaning to offend but we do its how you deal with it that makes the difference.....
i watch Big Brother as a social experiment so my views my be different in the way i see things but Mr Biggins did nothing wrong yes it is a show and things will be said but to remove him from the house was wrong he didnt even get a chance to speck for himself people will always remember this about him and i think that is unfair considering i think that Aurbury should have been thrown out of the house for spitting in Bears food and drink without him knowing that to me was the worst thing i have ever seen on all the Big Brother shows EVER
