No, I would never use word Language to mean something else. BB had to issue many warning, and many to me means more than a couple. Why wait after many, when 1st one should have told them something was amiss. I heard him say something and thought him offensive. Did BB show us in the DR re it, no they didn't, and maybe they thought it was ok
I don't know where "many" comes from. I thought BB listed the offences when they told Biggins in the DR that he was being removed. And what would the waiting be, if they warned him each time? If you mean why didn't BB throw him out the 1st time, then the answer must be that BB didn't think that what he said then was so bad that he had to be thrown out then rather than given a warning. |

Did anyone else see or remember Bear telling Heavy he was 'very disappointed' in him for voting for him for eternal damnation? I'm not sure I understand his disappointment. It's not like they've got along in the last few days.
I'm a bit confused as he seemed to totally understand why Aubrey did. He said he'd vote for her continuously after she spat in his food and drink but let her spit in his mouth. He's got a bee in his bonnet about Aubrey 'poisoning' the minds of others against him. Not sure what that's about either. To be fair, I'm just confused. ![]() ![]() |

I understand that but personally I think they should just let these people commit career suicide. Without a doubt, they should receive adequate warnings or punishments but considering the behaviour they DO allow, they need to be consistent. Biggins' opinions were offensive but they were talking about a conspiracy theory - it isn't a news broadcast where everything said is seen as fact. His comments weren't directly abusive towards a particular housemate and the ignorance of his opinion would have damaged his reputation - and rightly so. In any case, that theory about AIDS has been doing the rounds for years...I remember it being talked about at school and that was a good 20 years ago!
He's just an old-fashioned luvvie who still needs to learn a thing or two. I have to correct my dad every now and then because some phrases he uses (that were the actual terminology used to discuss things in his youth) are now no longer allowed. He doesn't mean any offence, he just doesn't realise how some things have changed. It's just a generational thing. And they do learn when it's pointed out! ![]() Re being consistent, I agree of course that they should be; but I also think that people are often wrong when they think BB is being inconsistent. |

From what was edited tonight I think it was ludicrous if that was the reason Biggins was removed.
Channel 5 is pathetic. You cannot remove people for having opinions. Other Celebs are never going to do this show because if they say one thing you're booted out. |

I'm finding it hard to work out what you think is a problem.

That's exactly what I'm saying...1st warning would have been enough, but it wasn't, as BB listed another issue, so that makes it 2, and it seems he got many more..so what were they? Will listen again to the clip tomorrow, ok
![]() Its without live feed the producers can manipulate the HL show. Biggins did make a Nazi joke apparently on Monday. Which should have aired. |

![]() Anyway, it is possible to have quite a few rule-breaks before being thrown out, as happened with Kitten in bb5. |

I don't understand why you think it matters that it's a conspiracy theory. That doesn't stop it from being offensive.
. Opinions spoken as fact (or used to attack someone) are worse - not only are they damaging but they also aren't conducive to human interaction, education or progression. For example: (Scenario 1) Bloke in pub: "I think George Bush was behind 9/11" (Scenario 2) News Headline: "George Bush Behind 9/11" A source says... The difference is that one is stated as theory, and the other a fact. And the chances are the 'source' in question is that same bloke in the pub...but nobody is taking HIM seriously when he's just wittering about it over his third pint. It doesn't mean it isn't worth discussing who was behind 9/11 though, does it? People should always ask questions and have healthy debate...it's how we learn and progress. |

Freedom of thought is available to everyone. It's then a choice whether to debate or allow ignorance and misinformation to flourish.
It was Biggins freedom of thought which got him booted, and rightly so in this case. If BB showed the clip of him and his joke, it would cause even more offence. People aren't so ignorant as not to know what happened during WW2! |

In any case, he has a right to his opinion on the origination of AIDS and his thoughts on sexuality and we all have a right to debate them - it's just a shame there wasn't an intellectual equal there to offer a counter-argument. Shutting down discussion just feeds ignorance and causes division. |
