Brucie came off worse, all this defending him lark then someone from up high has word in his ear then its "I totally condemn..."

Not with you?

You initially just had a full stop. Then you added "Everyone raise their arms in horror!" I wondered what you meant by "Everyone raise their arms in horror!" What was the message?

Of course they should. People around them should say they are being out of order. But does it need to be front page news?

Ok - so apparently there is more to this than the news reported. He's generally a twat and makes racist comments a lot. In which case the people in his industry will know and he will lose out on work as generally it's a diverse industry.

I still remain fairly underwhelmed by it all.

He's scheduled to be on BBC1 for almost 3 hours on Saturday night, with the accompanying audience that will still attract, is the reason.

For consistency's sake, with C Thatch (although she refused to apologise) or Jonathon Ross (who did apologise) you might have thought some action would have been taken, except in this instance the direct victim has decided to gloss over it. That he's made at least 2 comments like that, would make you wonder if he is fit for tv.

Ah, I see. It felt akin to directing a crowd scene in Life of Brian.

That's not really an answer, though, is it? Unless, that is, you don't actually put any thought into your posts, and there's therefore nothing at all we should understand from them.
