Morning Extra: Do we tolerate swearing too much?

Do we tolerate swearing too much?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Do we tolerate swearing too much?

Christian Bale and Gordon Ramsay have been getting into trouble for their bad language.

Graham Stewart takes your calls on TV and movie stars like Christian Bale and Gordon Ramsay who've been getting into trouble for their bad language.

TV and movie stars have been getting in trouble recently for gratuitious bad language. A Labour MP has called for an Ofcom investigation after Gordon Ramsay used the F-word 240 times during just one episode of his latest show. Actor Christian Bale has been caught on tape launching into a foul-mouthed tirade against a colleague on the set of the new Terminator film. And Jonathan Ross has continued to use swear words on his TV show following his recent three-month suspension.

Whether it's on TV or on the street, do you find bad language offensive, or is it just a natural evolution of our language?

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
