He said what we've all been thinking....

Well done Marcus - about time someone had the guts to challenge the fact that political correctness is totally warped these days.

You`re not seeing what Marcus`s point. Freddie`s accent is mocked and nothing is done.
Sree mocks Marcus`s accent and nothing is done.
Why is is Marcus pulled up and not the rest?

That`s his point and he`s absolutely correct!

Well done, Marcus!

Absolutely 100% agree Like I said, he spoke for many there!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Marcus

My winner

No i'm not missng the point I don't think. I don't think he's racist but since he's been goadin the little fella from day 1 he isn't looking too good mimicing his accent. It was refresheing to see someone not be repentant but he is a nobber that marcus.

ABSOLUTELY! Why is it 'dodgy ground' to mock someones accent if they are Indian? Peoples accents are mocked all the time, but when it's a non-white, it's 'not acceptable.' Why?

as is sree.

With respect, jono, the point Marcus was trying to make was that BB were only making an issue of his comments to Sree. Team Dead-From-The-Neck-Up have been doing the same thing to Freddie since the get-go and nothing has been said to them.

I agree that no-one should have the piss taken out of their accent, it's just the hypocrisy of BB's actions (or lack thereof) that Marcus was railing against

They've been goading Freddie worse and they've taken the piss out of his accent though.

Totally agree.....

ooooh what is going on? Marcus is in again.

Marcus, How dare they try to twist this. And remember we have little live feed, they are creating this themselves. Making it up as they goes along.

people mock my accent with 'throw another shrimp on the barbeeeeeeeeeeee'. Drives me insane. We don't put shrimps on the bloody BBQ

I pointed this out in my earlier comment. BB didn't like Marcus showing them up.

Exactly! Marcus is still arguing his case right now with BB. That patronising BB voice is getting right up my nose.

They`re so wrong but they won`t admit it.

Marcus has won the argument with the public without a doubt!

He's up there with Freddie and the vashman now

Wow he's very asture, I'm in awe of the Marcus and I never thought I'd say that in a million yers

Marcus is now my God

My brother reckons that half the staff at BB are probably Indian and this is why they are being so harsh on Marcus. It's all so pathetic and really unfair.

i think BB forget that EVERYONE has a culture...not just people with a darker skin tone

i agree with marcus on this one, having a similar thing happen to me (noisy abusive jamaican neighbour used the race card when i complained about her noise....and the council threatened me )
