It was debated,
around 10:58AM on This Morning ITV1HD.


Funny having Dermot

Closed for cleaning, deleting some posts in here, lets not turn this into another trans row thread when it doesn't have anything to do with the thread topic

Seems like it's ok to absolutely hammer Mickey for being old on TIBB.




Why we all bother I will never know

Incorrect. It’s because he’s homophobic

Tbf it's still too early to say how everyone else is going to be in terms of contribution to the series.

We're only going to watch the fourth highlight show tonight.

There are 4 OAPs in the House but only 1 who's broken BB's rules.

…Mickey’s reaction to the official warning in itself in that moment in the diary room was quite telling in that he understood immediately why he was being given the warning and even said it was understandable…there was no surprise at how something was interpreted or questioning of it at all…boy did wrong and he knew he did and accepted it…

It’s nothing to do with his age. It’s to do with his offensive remarks.

Then why are people continuously mentioning it to insult him?

Not people - person.

Most are not referring to his age.

I could've understood the "you won't be straight when you leave" line could have been meant as a weird, flirty (again inappropriate given the age difference) joke but to then go on about how he wants to evict her, tie her up, and then make the 'fag' quip was really just doubling down on the means to offend.

This sums up my entire opinion on the situation, until the incident, I liked Mickey as a housemate, but it was ridiculously uncomfortable to watch.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Jojo's partner Kate Ebbs has been abusive about the incident on social media
and has started DOXING Mickey!!

In a rant on insta she posted "no offence Mickey you look like a ********** foot so
you don't stand a chance with anyone anyway because your a ********** loser.

'He's a pig and he is a dangerous person. I wouldn't want to be alone in a
room with him and I wouldn't want ********** anyone to be alone in a room
with him.'



She sounds a little agressive

Nothing they said is wrong and they’re just defending their partner.

In the Daily Mail article about Mickey and his misconstrued comments the best rated comment is:

"I LOVE Mickey. He is hilarious, and honestly the best CBB participant I've ever watched.
The minute he leaves, is the minute most of the viewers will leave, because we have more
exciting things to do than watch boring, woke cry-babies."

So looks like the great British Public are liking what they see, sadly they don't tend to vote as much

The great British public don’t read the Daily Mail. But nice try saying they do.

The fact you think that the right wing Karen's on the Daily Mail comments are representative of the British public Bless you, so naive. That echo chamber must be loud.

No one great reads the daily fail

[user104658]

This being defended is peak TiBB lol. What he said was repulsive, his age and quirks are certainly no excuse, and the gaslighting playing it down - "he only called her a lesbian" and "he meant a cigarette" just daft.

The only vague excuse I can think of that comes close to explaining it is that his brain has been rattled one too many times.

That is entirely feasible .. he even touched on that very point the other night

[user104658]

It's also beyond question that a civvy BB house mate's feet wouldn't have touched the ground on the way out the back door.

Yeah, I was just saying that to someone yesterday, if it was civilian they would have been out the back door before the news of the homophbia/threats/bullying hit the papers.

The usual suspects out in force to defend blatant homophobia and attack the victim of said homophobia for how she dealt with it, shock horror

I naively for a split second thought when I saw it, "no one will be able to fully defend this" but I realised that such a thought was ridiculous and of course they'd be defending it before I even logged in .

I doubt anyone thinks it was actually fine and no one would ever dream of (openly) saying what he said themselves, but of course they'll pretend to think it was fine and everyone over-reacted. Just typical culture war nonsense.
