It's really not that simple. We are ALL the general public and we all have different views on what is acceptable. There was no great board meeting where members of the public met with Channel 5 bosses and made the decision together. I too am 'the general public' and i never made my views clear because - like the rest of us - i never even heard about Tila's views until she was removed.
It's more likely a dirt digging media source that bought it to Channel 5's attention and they decided to remove her in case it all kicked off.
Either that or like you say, CH5 deliberately let the controversy occur over this by letting her in first, knowing they were going to remove her later.
Fact is - we STILL don't know EXACTLY what subjects are off limits in BB's eyes, going forward from this point.
Is it just the subject of Hitler that HMs can be removed over? Or are there other subjects BB won't tolerate? Will BB tell us first what they are or will they repeat this shambles and have other future HMs enter the house only to be suddenly removed once their previous offensive online postings have been unearthed?
BB has a duty to be clear about this.
