someone from the royal ballet i think. there have been protests.

and quadrophenia, what's more worrying is the people who think that this behaviour isn't racist, just bullying... 10,000 people out of the millions who watch is a drop in the ocean.

and for the record i phoned to support chris morris...

I wonder what old max cifford has to say

Q sadly their are many like that - I saw a programme in based somewhere here in the north like that. it was about an abbatoir - the english workers were moaning about immigrants taking their jobs, the factory manager was saying he couldnt get anyone to to the job so he had to employ immigrants who come in and get on with it.

quadrophenia · 17/01/2007 22:14

reprasentative I probably still wrong!!

I had not watched any of this, but saw some tonight because of all the press coverage. I have to say that, sadly, the behaviour of Jade et al. reminded me totally of the puerile, ignorant & racist comments I hear from a sizeable minority of teens in schools where I have taught. The most sensible thing said was Jermaine's comment "You cannot reason with stupidity".

mummydear · 17/01/2007 22:14

the rise & fall of Jade Goody

zookeeper · 17/01/2007 22:14

Channel four is peddling this crap to increase the ratings - they could have easily edited our the "fuck off home" comment etc etc

More fool us for watching this crap and thereby condoning it. I'm switching it off from now on.

Jennylee · 17/01/2007 22:15

and of course that show on abbatoir workers represent the entire working class population of britain -aye where's me pig??? must go and slaughter it the now whilst being racist

brandnewhelsy · 17/01/2007 22:16

Pity they didn't follow it up with "and the comment after about her not even being able to speak English properly?"
Yes, I flipping watched it even though I said I wouldn't. Me and millions more. Keepw anting to see Jade get her comeuppance. Slowly but surely, I think.
Have Jade and Shilpa been nominated, does anyone know?

magicfarawaytree · 17/01/2007 22:16

anything that use race in a derogatroy sense is racism whether the person intended it to be or not. and there is guilt by association - if you accept that somethings are ok because they are said all the time you implicitly accept racisim.

quadrophenia · 17/01/2007 22:16

Aitch have had many conversations with supposed educated friends who just don't see it as racism, people just don't want to belive it . There are so many excuses for racist behviour now days that even educated people just refuse to acknowldege its existence, again i blame the media, and right now Endemol

I'm not against reality tv, but I really think a TV compamy tolerating this level of bullying is wrong. I really hope they cut it.

Jennylee · 17/01/2007 22:18

I agree lots of people are racist in fact this show took me right back to high school - the good ole days when I was bullied and treated like sht for being a pk* myself...ooh the best year of my life' ps I'm not asian confused? arent we all...where did that pig go? i think it took me job ..jings!

quadrophenia · 17/01/2007 22:18

I even had a friend peddle out that whole 'well itsnot against the law its freedom of speech' line.

Jennylee · 17/01/2007 22:19

anyway it is racism and I wonder what ch4 will do if shilpa takes it badly when she finds out

AitchTwoOh · 17/01/2007 22:20

i don't understand, zookeeper, would you be more comfotable watching if the racist comments were edited out? [confused emoticon]
loads of people have already seen there convos on live streaming, you know.

AitchTwoOh · 17/01/2007 22:21

i don't think shilpa is under any illusions, jennylee...

nutcracker · 17/01/2007 22:21

1 million more peopl tuned in last night since everything kicked off, which IMO is just as disgusting as what is going on in there.

Someone is getting bullied and so people are switching on to watch

I do not think they should be edited, but something should happen to punish them, how long will Jade be able to keep screaming a shilpa without one of the terrible words coming out? then hopefully she will wreck her career

Fireflyfairy2 · 17/01/2007 22:23

OMG I am furious

Cleo has no backbone!! The twat just sat there & let Jade bully Shilpa!!! & Dannielle & Jo the pair of fucking immature whores!! My god I don't even know what to type I am so angry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jade is quite clearly a psychopath!!!! Passive aggressive if ever there was one!! Jack... get out of there mate before you're the next one gets it!!

How is she a role model for the nations teens!! AND she had the bare faced gall to stand there & rant "I hate liars, hate them, I fucking do" Who lied that they had lost all that weight on a diet.... but who actually had lipo suction... fukin liar!! God I never really had any feelings on Jade Goody one way or another, but I hate her guts. She isn't just ugly on the outside, she is rotten to the core & bad to the bone!!

Shame on Channell 4 for not stepping in & stopping those comments before it all got out of hand!!!

PS: Does anyone else think that Cleo had been primed to say "Shilpa, Jade is not a racist, neither are the other girls, no-one in this house is"

Fireflyfairy2 · 17/01/2007 22:25

And now every time I try to go on the OFCOM site the site is down!!!

kandi · 17/01/2007 22:27

I know Fairyfly, I'm giving up and trying again tomorrow

Monkeytrousers · 17/01/2007 22:27
