I voted no. Not because I didn't find what he said incredibly stupid and the man's an idiot, but because I don't think people would be kicked out for anything they say. Let the public decide.

He said a disease was the fault of a community, he'd been warned several times before, if he'd said it about the gay, Jewish, Islamic community the outrage would of be higher. Big Brother is being consistent and not cherry picking which communities can be insulted and which don't warrant a reaction.

How can anyone say no when the Nazi stuff was covered up
That's what he was evicted for and why it's been covered up |

I don't think he is campaigning against us exactly but he has got a point..... AIDS did spread in one way by having sex with multiple partners and it was scientifically proved that when it was more prolific in the gay community initially and then started to move into the heterosexual community the spread was attributed to men who were gay but still have heterosexual sex. This was mid to late 80s when being gay was not as accepted so men were still in marriages to "cover up " .

Pointless poll because he wasn't removed just for that comment

No, people are too sensitive.
It's not like it's an elected member of parliament saying it, it's some old panto creep. Who gives a damn. |

It sounded like he believed in a conspiracy theory but so did Rennee. I know a few intelligent people who believe in daft conspiracies.
![]() If someone had said to Biggins that gay people were to blame for the spread of HIV/AIDS, he would have been furious. They were right to remove him, they should have done it sooner. NB There are others that I think should be removed as well, but that just shows how low BB/CBB has sunk these days, that many housemates shouldn't have been allowed in the house in the first place.

No but I still think it was awful what he said. He clearly has a disturbing hatred for bi-sexual people. It would be nice to get some more clarification on what he said to Katie aswell.
In an ideal world personal views or theories expressed would be challenged by other HMs but of course people don't listen to other HMs and clearly nobody in there found his theory unpalatable enough to challenge. It seems pretty extraordinary to me that people who physically frighten fellow HMs should remain but Biggins has to leave. |

a) It wasn't a straight guy who said it...it was gay guy who was having a conversation and speaking from his own personal perspective as a gay man who married a woman when he was in his twenties because he felt pressured to do so ....he may be wrong in his views but surely he has the right to express his own personal opinion based on his own personal experience?....
b) not enough people watch this shite anymore to form a crowd ...let alone the plural of the word The gay community suffered terribly because of HIV/AIDS. Both because of the physical impact and the prejudice. Instead of trying to fight that prejudice, Biggins is simply trying to shift the hate to another group. It wasn't ok to blame the gay community and it isn't ok to blame bisexuals either. |

I find someone spitting in someone else's food and then BB allowing that food to be consumed far mor offensive than anything CB said. Why didn't they just show the clip and let the public speak through the vote as to what they think of opinions expressed, controversial or otherwise!

I wonder if something was said that was really unacceptable and Biggin's management have got their lawyers onto it and 'shut it down'.
Saying that though the other HM's seems totally bemused and confused. Surely if it was the Aids convo, Renee said much the same as Biggins (if not more). Of course I can't comment on what may or may not have been said regarding Katie and 'that' subject. It's no good speculating either. As far as I'm concerned if they can accept Bear's behaviour and let him stay, then Biggins shouldn't have been removed for opinions that others may not like.
