God they're going for him big time ..., this is getting unpleasant.... He should have remained the King of the Jungle and considered that a miracle in itself.

[Robodog]

That Daily Star cover is 1000x more offensive than anything Biggins said in the house

What hypocrisy.

Maybe because he's an actor? I bet I could find LOADS of pictures of actors dressed up as Nazis.

Exactly, there has been a massive variety of films/comedies/jokes etc about Nazis ever since the 1930s including some of the most popular comedies of all time eg:

Mel Brooks' The Producers
Fawlty Towers
'Allo 'Allo

People seem to forget that history, in their hysterical media witch-hunts such as that Daily Star cover

[arista]

"Fawlty Towers"

Yes classic because he got hit on the head
"don't mention the war"

Great writing by him and his wife
back then.

Agreed. 40 years on, and it's still the funniest, best written sit-com of them all.

Yes where another Priest died and left him boxes of German nazi memorabilia.

I remember him standing waving at a window and there was a mark on the window that set at the top his mouth making it look like a moustache similar to Hitlers,
Which offended some from a new Chinese community who had come to the island.

I loved watching father Ted.

A little history lesson for you young people on here.

In the 70's/80's, a time much closer to the war and the holocaust, lots of shows depicted Nazis, and always made them idiots, it was called 'taking the piss out of the enemy'

Check out Freddie Starr (part of his act was a Nazi spoof) and also a sitcom called 'Allo Allo', where numerous Nazis were depicted as thick ****s with no sense.

This was allowed in the days before 'safe places' and the oversensitivities of a bunch of snivelling idiots who think everything that is not their opinion is offensive.

I remember, in the late 80's, I went to a fancy dress party, dressed as a Nazi Commandant, only wearing the jacket, fish net tights, a Nazi hat, and carrying a whip. I was joined at the party by a white guy dressed as Ghandi (cheap costume) and a black guy who came as one of the Black & White Minstrels!

Now we all know, that when we know better, we do better, which is why you will no longer see a sitcom called 'Love Thy Neighbour' on TV (although you can find it on Youtube)

But lets get real here. Biggins is 67 years old, and just like my mother, will ocassionally make a joke that is outdated but not meant in an offensive manner at all.

Young people, need to get a ****ing grip of themselves and stop finding offense at every turn CAUSE THEY OFFEND ME!

Biggins is an idiot, who meant no harm, whereas the trash that is Bear, Renee, Marnie, just shows a real lack of breeding.

If we are all gonna get offended at everything nowadays, then I suggest we get offended at the vile piece of trash that gave birth to and brought up Bear, and any granparents involved too.

He is a product of scum, and that scum should be locked up for neglect, as they neglected to show him how to be a person and not a caricature.

Heavy D is a pain in the arse, but you can tell he has some common sense.

Bear has no sense and no empathy and I dont know how he has survived thus far, he must stay home a lot or go out with 50 odd people to protect himself.

Ally Ross (The SUn) had it right today

Bear: "To be fair, geography isnt my strong point" Great, then head to Raqqa, it will blow your mind...........

We can only hope

[LeatherTrumpet]

Dressing up as a German Officer from the War is not a crime and neither is making a silly joke

Thinking Biggins is some hateful nazi... now that is criminal

[LeatherTrumpet]

so is reading the daily star

They sometimes get repeated on some channels.
Last year they had a good few on, I like the one too where he has to kick Bishop Brennan.

[hot2go]

The press have over reacted to this part of what was said in the house....Katie's reaction and tears have created a massive sh-t storm that will probably finish Biggins career and need never of happened. Too bad Katie didn't accept it was a joke or accept an apology from Biggins when he realised she didn't find it funny...it's unfortunate for him and foolish of him to joke around with someone who cries so much and probably shouldn't even be in the house IMO... Can't help but feel sorry for the guy even though I don't like him, I understand why he had to be removed but not for this reason...and I def don't understand why he is being vilified like this....for once an actual real example of bullying.

do we even know if Katy was upset at the joke (would be hard to tell as she seems permanantly miserable) but we did not see how she took it, maybe she laughed, maybe she didnt even hear it or maybe she burst into tears

How will we ever know when BB keep it all schtum so that they can kick out biggins and keep the scum til the end!

[Cal.]

Least they've put some thought into it. Usually it would have been 'BB BIGGINS IN SHOCK SEX NAZI ROMP'
