This is a disgrace.

that's kind of the point isn't it, people make all sorts of controversial/disgusting comments on social media, but get all huffy when someone who is not their fave says something controversial, the whole thing is ludicrous beyond belief, everyone is so busy being offended by everything

I don't think Biggins did either, it's in the tasteless joke category no more Arista

[Munchkins]

Nope it's better to let these views be aired in their full nature, so people can see how deplorable it is

You don't have freedom of speech. The UK is not the US.

i was about to say the same thing i dont come on here often but i do believe Mr
Biggins was treated fairly

have you ever been in the big brother house i would not last 2 days he hasn't said anything that most people haven't herd before he is old school it was his opinion i dont have to agree or disagree its very easy to say out here but in that environment you will always be saying something that offend someone else and you wont even know because it was not said to offend........i think he got a bum deal i have herd a lot of worst things on celebrity big brother and they never got a warning jmo

[hot2go]

Biggins saying that he doesn't like Bisexuals is an opinion.
Biggins saying that AIDS was a Bisexual disease and they are responsible for contaminating the world is Slander.
Huge difference.

[smudgie]

It's a shame there was nobody in the house interested in having a proper debate about the issue.
One sided throwaway comments don't really tell you much.
Back in the day it was considered to be a gay man issue, then women started getting it.......I remember watching a tv drama where the wife was stricken with it after her husband slept with another man. Lovely way to find out your husband liked men as well.
This was at the time of the big AIDS campaign poster messages, the public had no clue what was going on really, but only gay men or people that shared needles got it was the general message given, that and the fact it was a death sentence.

I thought the whole idea behind BB was that if we don't like a housemate for whatever reason be it their views or personality or whatever then we get to vote them out?
People should not be forcefully ejected imo because of their opinions.The world would be very boring if we all like robots thought exactly the same way.
BB ejecting people and hiding their conversations is straight up censorship.Should this apply to all genres of television and media?
If not then don't censor BB in this way.
They are treating the viewers like special snowflakes who need to be in safe spaces and can't handle an opposing opinion.

I'll never watch BB again because of it. Not that I ever watched it in the first place.

Now, if a news channel was heavily restricting / cutting out people's comments I'd be far more concerned.

I guess think of it this way: If you're out in a public space, like a park for example, and you hear someone saying something that you don't like. That's tough ****. You can challenge them on it / try to debate with them but you can't order them to leave the park. That's the right to free speech. If a guest in YOUR house starts saying something you don't like or don't want to hear, you can kick him out on his arse. You can use reasonable physical force to remove that person, even, or call the authorities. That person can't whine about his right to free speech in YOUR HOME - he has NO such right.

The BB house belongs to the production company. It is their property. It is their show. Full stop, end of discussion, it is not a free speech issue.

i understand what you are saying but not everyone thinks the way you do i have had people in my home home saying out loud things that i did not like but i have never kicked them out i like to know why a person thinks that way and discuss the issue only once did someone not like the fact that i called them out on a comment he got soooooo angry he left on his own accord came back 2 days later and apologized i still confronted him........we are the best of friends now and its because he knows he be honest to the bone with me and i wont lose the plot and thats the type of people that are my true friend it also works both ways what you have to understand is we all have said thing not meaning to offend but we do its how you deal with it that makes the difference.....
i watch Big Brother as a social experiment so my views my be different in the way i see things but Mr Biggins did nothing wrong yes it is a show and things will be said but to remove him from the house was wrong he didnt even get a chance to speck for himself people will always remember this about him and i think that is unfair considering i think that Aurbury should have been thrown out of the house for spitting in Bears food and drink without him knowing that to me was the worst thing i have ever seen on all the Big Brother shows EVER

It seems Big Brother producers are gay humourless jews that dictate their opinions on the British public. I feel sorry for you people on the island.

I remember when Bill Hicks was admired, adored and appreciated. Now the political correctness police of the humourless gay jews would probably throw him in jail.

Personally, after Tila Tequila got banned I was annoyed, now I just say goodbye to BB for good.
