his comments around aids were not comedy and were not a joke. People are treating things in isolation where the producers made it quite clear that it was a cumulative issue, where he had been warned numerous times and chose to ignore the warnings.

His comments on Aids were a theory.Very possibly a wrong theory but still a theory and he even included that it was a scientist who told him this.Should theories be banned if they are controversial?

if you consistently push bigoted views without there being appropriate balance, it cannot be allowed to persist on a public platform like TV. Surely that's obvious

Surely that balance comes from anyone in the house who disagrees with him in a conversation?If everyone agrees with him C5 only has to say that a housemate's views do not reflect the views on Channel 5.

with the greatest respect to Bear and his fellows, he is not blessed with the capacity to balance an argument. Nor should it be his responsibility. These folk know the score when they go on these type of shows. Biggins was trying his luck, there was nothing unintentional about it ... he tried it ... got warned ... continued to do it ... got warned ... continued to do it ... and got thrown out.

He had every opportunity to adjust his behaviour, but chose not to. There is no-one to blame but himself for his own stupidity.

Mary Whitehouse would be so proud of you trying to shut down,censor and block anything other than mainstream PC views.
