Brendan O'Neill argues on spiked that Channel 4's dramatic and santimonious response to a contestant's use of 'the n-word' is far more offensive than the 'incident' itself.'What could be more offensive than a 19-year-old middle-class girl from Bristol (hell, she even has blonde hair and blue eyes) calling a black fellow contestant on this year’s British Big Brother a ‘nigger’? Well, how about Channel 4’s cynical transformation of this silly incident – which everyone admits was a slip of the tongue – into a national spectacle to re-educate (read hector) the public?'
