Does Biggings Get Paid Now That He Has Been Booted Out By Big Brother ?

[wendilla]

there was another 2 much more aggressive and swearing than him . I don't think it was the swearing it was due to how AIDS got to this country .and because there was Americans in here in case he was hitting at them .

Thanks for your reply .

Didn't he get thrown out for telling a Nazi/Jew joke?

[ummmm]

Apparently and Katie started to cry. If The Sun is to be believed (unlikely) her parents want him arrested for a hate crime!

There seems to be some disagreement as to whether it was a Nazi/Jew 'joke' or his references to Bisexuals/AIDS which saw him ejected from the house.

He will have forfeited his appearance money whatever the reason for his leaving. He seems to have managed to hole his career below the waterline...

[wendilla]

Thank you for your replies . It's a shame as he always came across as a decent person . I am sure this is not the end of it .

Aggression and swearing are perfectly acceptable. What isn't acceptable is if you express a negative opinion regarding certain divisions of culture and society. The media pretty much sets the standard on this using a sliding scale of 'offensiveness'

This sliding scale is dependent on who you are; eg Nazi slurs are pretty much 'up there' and will definitely get you in a lot of bother. All other races, cultures, religions, sexualites fit into this scale. If you're White, Male , Heterosexual you're pretty much down the bottom; you're fair game.

inversely proportionate to power, then, Booldawg. White male heterosexuals are likeliest to be in government and therefore in most need of insulting. Sounds fair enough to me.

[Booldawg]

I do believe that is how it works jno!

[anneasquith]

We know who he is, but what has he actually done? The mail call him a " national treasure "" really ?

[Islay]

Having met him on several occasions at social occasions - I did not recognise this side of him - shame really he is really very nice.

[Old_Geezer]

Didn't watch it. What did he actually do ? Call them all a bunch of Nazis for slinging him out ?

[Old_Geezer]

Would be interesting to learn on what pretext they'd refuse to pay someone for doing the agreed job.

[netibiza]

Ch 5 say the nazi/jew joke didn't happen and was false!

[mikey4444]

I am constantly amazed why anyone would want to get onto prime TV and make complete wassocks of themselves, £150,00 appearance fee or not.

If I thought all day and all night, I'm not sure if I could possibly get aerated by Christopher Biggins and this daft TV program.

[Old_Geezer]

Wish I'd not investigated now. Folk spitting in food, others smashing bottles and doors ? Why is this encouraged and on our screens ?

[jambutty]

I think that's why they give you plenty of warnings at the beginning over the actions about to take place !

[hc4361]

According to reports he was in a queue for the bathroom and said to a female Jew - "You had better be careful or they will put you in a shower or take you to a room!"

He has apologised for it.

[Old_Geezer]

I like black humour but that sounds very unwise.
But there seems to be some dispute as to exactly what caused the eviction. The "joke" being just one suggestion.
