I'm only repeating what the press were reporting when it first blew up and where did I say it was Fact
![]() If what he said was nowhere near as bad as the papers are making it out to be , Then Biggins would be as well to just come out and say exactly what he said ,and put it to bed once and for all ..then no supposition would have to go on by me or anyone else ....The Longer he stays quiet on the whole thing ,the worse it's making him look ,as if he has something to hide ... |

How do you know ,and no wishful thinking from me at all ,I'm a firm believer that BB Should show everything H/MS say and do warts and all ,and leave it up to us as viewers to decide whether something is Offensive or not not be Mollycoddled and told something was said ,but it's far to offensive for our little sensitive ears to hear so we'll just have to believe them when they tell us it's for our own good that they don't air it |

What with talks and discussions with lawyers and Endemol no wonder it took a long time to eject Biggins. Luckily, the aids conversation gave them an excuse.

oh dear
I recall Katie's family being similarly upset over X Factor too, when they claimed that Katie was getting death threats because she was 'Jewish' |

Biggins lost my support after blaming Katie for being overly emotional. Doing an interview with Dan Wootton is not helping.

Err...no, he isn't. Katie Wassail's mum 'called for a police probe' following an "antisemitic rant". Firstly, there was no such rant - he made a comment (whether ill-judged or otherwise) in jest, not a rant. Furthermore, there has been absolutely no offence committed - most certainly not one under Sections 4, 4A and 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, which is the common grounds for prosecution for racially and religiously aggravated offences. Of course, a "joke" can be considered grounds for one of these offences (as per Paul Gascoigne, although I am 99% confident the protection against him will be dismissed), however, aside from mitigation of intent, likelihood to cause distress or alarm, level of threat and the environment, the footage wasn't broadcast and as far as I am aware no one has reported being "alarmed" or “distressed" who heard the remarks – a report of what was said is not sfficent grounds for consideration of an offence being committed let alone prosecution. Outwth legal concerns, moral consideration is a different issue, one for the show’s production company (and ultimately Channel 5) to consider, arguably, a decision which is their’s alone to make subject to criminal law, contratual obligations, and compliance with the terms of Channel 5’s broadcasting licence. As regards the remark to Katie Wassail. Personally, I woudn’t consider this a joke at all as it wasn’t remotely funny and I think, regardless of what I am sure was benign intent, it was a serious error of judgement to make such a remark at all, let alone to a Jewish person. As regards the so-called “bi-phobic” remarks relating to AIDS, this was merely an opinion, one he is fully entitled to have and to express, indeed, there is some limited research to partially support his views: http://www.hivplusmag.com/prevention...-hiv-diagnoses. I find it somewhat odd that people condemn him as being ignorant or misinformed without unequivocally being able to disprove what he believes - perhaps he has read this research case study and/or similiar ones and reached his own conclusions, which again, is his right; if indeed he is wrong surely this is a matter for education not condemnation, especially when as I said, there is some limited research to support his view. Simialrly, accusations of being a bigot without realising the irony of the accusers’ own position in denying someone the right to have a contrary view to their own… |

It's likely that Katie's mum does not know what was said yet.
