Perhaps you should stick to discussing the housemates, as the rules say.

It seems it is all some are capable of. It is certainly easier than actually having a serious debate.

I'm not even going to report the abuse. I think it would be instructive for it to stay here as a monument.


If you have to pitch a fit and flounce from a thread because someone has an opinion you don't like then it is time to take a look at yourself.

Can we ban the trolling homophobe please?

I think we can respect that other people don't necessarily drive the same car we do or buy the same milk. When we are talking about social issues such as the adoption of children by gay couple and decisions on handling poverty that literally effect lives, the rules change.

Winston is trying to be a politician and I think that amplified the reaction. His poor character showed through poorly on BB, even with editing.

So what do you propose we do about Winston and others daring to have an opinion on social issues that you don't agree with?

"One of the problems with defending free speech is you often have to defend people that you find to be outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting" - Salman Rushdie.

True say Salman.

However the alternative is even worse - no free speech is what happens under a fascist regime such as Nazi Germany etc etc

Better to all talk freely and disagree than to try shut people down and encourage hatred towards them and demonize them for having an opinion that you don't agree with - which is what has happened to Winston in this series by BB.

By the way - I 100% disagree with what Winston said.

BUT - I also 100% disagree with the hate-fuelled Witch hunt mentality that Winston has been subjected to from BB.

If Winston had said those things INSIDE the house - then let them all react to it, they are adults.

But for BB to set him up DELIBERATELY and then crucify him for something he said OUTSIDE the house is a disgusting, mean trick from BB. If they were that offended then they shouldn't have let him in, not lead him in like a lamb to slaughter. That's just foul play from BB.

BB WITCH HUNT - yet again. DELIBERATELY whipping up hatred in the name of 'entertainment' is just as bad, if not worse, than what Winston said outside of the house.

But Winston wasn't a decent celeb.
