Or should we hear them and challenge them if we disagree?
So no more controversial comedy after 9pm incase somebody gets offended? I thought the whole idea behind BB was that if we don't like a housemate for whatever reason be it their views or personality or whatever then we get to vote them out? People should not be forcefully ejected imo because of their opinions.The world would be very boring if we all like robots thought exactly the same way. BB ejecting people and hiding their conversations is straight up censorship.Should this apply to all genres of television and media? If not then don't censor BB in this way. They are treating the viewers like special snowflakes who need to be in safe spaces and can't handle an opposing opinion. |

It wasn't an opinion, it was a thoughtless joke... I don't think there was any truth in it at all.

his comments around aids were not comedy and were not a joke. People are treating things in isolation where the producers made it quite clear that it was a cumulative issue, where he had been warned numerous times and chose to ignore the warnings.

His comments on Aids were a theory.Very possibly a wrong theory but still a theory and he even included that it was a scientist who told him this.Should theories be banned if they are controversial?

if you consistently push bigoted views without there being appropriate balance, it cannot be allowed to persist on a public platform like TV. Surely that's obvious

At the end of the day it's not a public forum, it's an entertainment show. They have editorial control and have every right to decide what type of language/discussion they want or don't want in the show.

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 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 |

Well there are many TV shows which feature murder.Why are they not banned but biggins joke or opinion is?You can say that murder on telly is fictional but not all of it is.Some is based on real events.

Banning controversial opinions won't be enough. When the PC opinion is expressed and someone merely shakes their head to convey disagreement in future that will be tantamount to a hate crime.

I think the OP has a point to call this into question. If we are going to be a society with freedom of speech don't we have to hear controversial opinions to be able to oppose them? If we won't hear them, are we not guilty of censorship?

You don't have freedom of speech. The UK is not the US.
