Krakow is a beautiful city and the people are nice. Auschwitz is very eerie and unsettling. Our tour guide told us that no matter where we stood it was likely that someone had died in that spot.
![]() I don't know exactly what Biggins said, but I think he will learn something from this. It's almost impossible not to. |

I was being sarcastic. If you thought I was being sincere you read too much in to it.

There is nothing funny about cancer, and if I've read too much into what you say then so be it. I just happen to think there are boundaries.

I did too, how ridiculous, you shouldn't have to visit a concentration camp to have empathy for the victims of Hitler's regime but equally so I feel some perspective needs gaining here.
Of course people shouldn't have to visit a camp to understand the horror -you're completely right. |

I still waiting for the full and proper recognition of the FIVE MILLION non-Jews that were systematically killed. The original plans were to expel the Jews out of Germany, but kill most of the Slavs, keeping some for slave labour. It really does OFFEND me, when people go on about 6 million deaths, and not 11 million.

I agree. Millions of Christians were killed by the Nazis too and they don't ever get a mention. Millions of Christians have been murdered by ISIS ,Boko Haram etc in the last few years and right now under our noses and there's very little about them.
I think this whole thing is ridiculous |

You did and said nothing wrong. Someone getting offended on someone else's behalf again...that's their problem not yours. Still, your apology might keep out the cold for them this winter...that's the only use it could possibly have. |

Does he seriously expect anyone to believe this visit had been planned before he was chucked out of CBB?
Thoughts on what it could be called? bit to early in the day for me to offer a show title but I'll be back when I think of one

I totally agree with this. All the other groups seem to be forgotten. I remember being shocked when we were taught about the Holocaust at school and being told it wasn't just Jewish people who were sent to concentration camps. While it was a long time ago since I started secondary school, not that much has changed. Any death and internment was bad every death is a tragedy regardless of which 'group' they belonged to.
We were taught about mass murder of the handicapped aswell as anyone else like gay people too. However the fact remains that the ultimate aim was the total annihilation of the Jewish people. |

Bib. I don't believe that's true at all. Let's not forget that the aim of the Nazis was to wipe out the entire Jewish population so the fact is it was specifically the Jews that were targeted and the gypsies too.

What a truly pathetic man, now resorting to a distasteful publicity stunt. I've never fallen for the jolly, loveable persona and my instincts were right, he has certainly shown his true colours.

If we are now expected to know what the offending remark was, ie regarding showers, then why can't we shown the whole thing. I can't help but get the feeling that something else was said before, perhaps by Biggins himself, that prompted the associated remark. If somebody says the word "apple", they that would bring up all sorts of connected thoughts and ideas etc, There are all sorts of possibilities.
Yet again BB has made an announcement, and tried to withhold info, which has led to all sorts of speculation. It is only right and proper that BB makes full disclosure, so that the HM involved doesn't suffer from the false speculation that otherwise ensues, |
