The Big Brother row

I never thought I'd say this but Big Brother has actually made a serious point about the way we live now in Britain.

The row about racism that has exploded this week into a major diplomatic incident should remind us of the social responsibility we all have to respect other people and use language that is not disrespectful to others - no matter what their race, colour, creed or faith.

I've never been very impressed by the housemates in the Big Brother house over the last several years. The current bunch seem a rather sad lot of losers and the way the have behaved to an Indian housemate, Shilpa Shetty, just confirms that view.
