Lucy, 18, spouted a stream of bigotry before appalled fellow contestants on Shipwreck.
In scenes screened just hours before C4 boss Luke Johnson apologised for the Jade Goody Celebrity BB race row, she ranted: "Britain is a complete mess.
"I just don't appreciate people coming into our country and taking over our culture.
"We've got way too many cultures. Britain's not really Britain any more.
"I'm for the British Empire and things. I'm for slavery, but that's never going to come back."
Asked why she did not like black people, she said: "From what I've seen they're really bad."
When another contestant said she did not like racists, Lucy replied: "I'm afraid you have one here."
The gap year teenager, who spent 10 years in all-girls' boarding schools, then told her companions she hated fat people.
She said: "They're offensive. They can help it - eat less, exercise more, get their stomachs stitched."
On the Shipwrecked website she adds: "I can't stand fat and ugly people. They really bring you down."
I find this quite disturbing that these are views of a educted person from a decent upper class family.
Does this really reflect our british society today?or is this all just a storm in a tea cup?..you decide!

Miss Lucy Buchanan should look at which country her ancestry is from, shes hardly british herself. That name is Scottish. A Scott talking in favour of a British empire??? hmmmm??? I dont think so lol.
Like that BBC programme a little while ago where it was showing most of the people in Britain originate from abroad anyway, like the stuck up posh speaking aristocrat woman was found to have ancestors from China!
You got to laugh at these clowns

Sounds to me like an attempt at grabbing ratings by Channel4, shouldn't have been broadcast. Silly, silly little girl.

Are we having a bit of Racism between the Scots and the English now? 
We are all part of this great island and thats what matters,being British represents us all.

That comment of hers about bringing back slavery... it's just outrageous. I'm gob-smacked.
Mind you, if she wants to be my slave, I imagine I could fit her in. |
