I'm embarassed as a Britainian at the behaviour of people in that house. We must come across very badly to INdia right now, and deservedly so. Frankly C4 should take this shit off the air and apologise. This many complaints can't be wrong surely!

13,000 doesn't sound so many now that certain groups have been ringing round and organising mass complaints, but the number of individual complaints before it hit the papers was extremely high for a TV programme.
Ah, well - there's a few slebs that we won't have to suffer again.
I think part of why they hate Shilpa so much is that she's the only one who doesn't need to be in there.
The signal they're giving out is "This is OUR territory, a haven for the untalented, washed up and terminally thick - how dare you come in here!!"

With any luck they'll organise a mass protest in India, that'll be what? ooh just another 1,000,000,000 complaints

Why aren't C4 doing anything about this? It has been painful to watch since Jackie and all that "the Indian" stuff. Shilpa doesn't seem to have done anything that I can see that would annoy anyone, and the comments are clearly racist. Can you imagine saying any of those things even in jest? The only way you could let the comments slide is if you were parodying racism, which they quite clearly aren't as they utterly detest Shilpa for no apparent reason.
I used to work with the executive producer, I bet she is pissing her pants now, she never seemed all that hard nosed.
I've complained to Ofcom and you should too.

They even have a 'complain about CBB' button on the front to make it easy.

well lets see; they're all ugly, Shilpa's good looking; they're as think as pig a shit, Shilpa speaks several languages; they're untalented no marks, Shilpa's a highly sucessful performer. No that hard to work out I reckon. Jermaine's not gettting any aggro. Which is a good thing i guess, but maybe because he's a man.

Many years ago, whilst I was travelling in India, I was quite taken aback when my grammar was corrected. The person who corrected me was completely right to do so. It wassn't done maliciously, the person was amazed that they had a better grasp of English grammar than I did. We ended up having a great converstaion about spoken/written English and use of slang and how it can be 'nation' specific. We both learnt something.

you learn more about your own language by studying another. The rules we take for granted are often wrong but when you look at it through someonme else eyes you find out why you went wrong. We don't study grammar anymore in school so the fact that literacy rates are falling is no surprise.

I suspect you're right, my brother lives in Peterborough, I've never ever come across such overt racism as there. It's like an apartheid city.

I spent my teen years in Peterborough and I remember race relations being pretty dire, with most white people being pretty racist and a small asian community pretty much keeping itself to itself.
I was told recently that its a lot more multi-cultural than it used to be, with a big influx of Kurds and Poles but i havent been back for in years.
