In this week when the right of freedom of speech has been hailed as so important could someone explain what this means?
I have not watched celebrity big brother until tonight but I understand someone has been expelled for expressing offensive language. But isn't that freedom of speech?
My father lost a leg fighting in ww2. When I was young he entered a game at a hotel we were staying in. Because of his disability he needed a runner. The other chap behaved in a way that could only be described as humiliating to my father. After the game I asked my father if he was upset by the other guy's behaviour? He said that was what he fought for, the right for the other chap to humiliate him. He said if Hitler had won the other chap could possibility be executed for his behaviour. This was totally unelectable to my fathers morals.

Talbot, you thought he was a prat, and Alexander handled the situation with class. I rest my case

In the way it is meant to . To describe a black person of African or sub -African descent.
And I wasn't upset at Ken Morley's outburst. I also thought he was a prat.
Although you actually write the word on Ab it comes up with the asterisks.

Not that it matters selected best answer by mistake.
I think it does matter the best answer is a joke!
I agree with pranky, I did not see the offensive sexist remark as I don't watch BB, but the way Loose Women ganged up on him was insane especially, as you say, they are full of 'phwoar' remarks about fit blokes or sexist remarks about how useless men are etc. Nadia is always like that. I also didn't know the word 'n...,o was offensive! I assumed he had said n....r to raise such an uproar.
you can just select another best answer and it will replace the current one.
there's an account of Morley's dialogue here

I can't really think of any TV programmes, even CBB, who'd keep giving screen time to someone talking like that.
Kicked out for that?
