Just thought I'd beat the papers to the headline!

[Mr Darn]

he wont be sacked!

from what i heard, the BBC contacted the person concerned before broadcast, and he said he wasnt upset by the messages...

...it was broadcasting it that upset him lol

they'll sort it out, ban brand from the BBC and call it a day with some better publicity.

Thought I'd try Woss Branded Sachs Maniac, but decided I couldn't get it past the Bedlington.co.uk Editorial Standards Comittee.

It's the Daily Mail readers who are po-faced mofos.......

27000 complaints.....quite a number of stupid people

[kasyx]

seems to be an example of media hype.

[Hamburger Pimp]

The names of Ross and Brand are to be added to the Sachs Offenders Register.

Just when you thought the grand-daughter's standards couldn't get any lower.

[Symptoms]

Shame on the weak kneed, yellow-bellied craven bosses at the Beeb who are clearly running scared of the hysteria whipped-up by that vile Nazi supporting rag, The Mail; the same paper, whose Ward Price supported Hitler in the 30's and thought the idea of the Concentration Camps had some merit. The Mail, in it's recent Editorial, even accused Brand of making a joke about the Holocaust, when what he had done was to remind us of that paper's Nazi tradition. So we can describe recent events as the Mail's Revenge, stirring-up the ‘beige brigades’ who normally lust after the chair lifts advertised it’s Classified Section, to complain in their thousands to the Beeb. This blitzkrieg, driven by the Mail’s fake outrage should be seen for what it is!

The two naughty boys apologised, Andrew Sachs accepted these with grace, the Beeb should have then drawn a line under the episode then. Instead, we have the gifted Radio 2 Controller sacrificed, one talent permanently exiled and the other 'flogged around the fleet' for 3 months. All we now have to look forward to is a diet of anaemic, safe tosh dished-up as cutting edge by scared comics; they'll always be 'looking over their shoulders'. Watch out Franky Boyle ... you'll be next for that old Queen's !*!@# skit. Leave the comics alone! - otherwise prepare for wall-to-wall Wogan.

Now Max Clifford representing the Granddaughter ... it all smells like a publicity stunt to me. You can just image Brand, whilst busy 'diddling' (his expression, not mine!) with The Granddaughter hatching a plan for her future career. Just watch ... glamour shots in the tabs, invitation to join one of those awful reality shows, celebrity stardom. You couldn't make it up.

Quite. Ross is a talentless, overpaid, and arrogant. £6 million a year out licence payers money, whos idea was that?
Apparently Gary Glitter has left a message on Jonathon Ross's answer machine saying that he has shagged his daughter.
Whos laughing now?

Lol, i just got that not too long ago via text message....

[Cympil]

Well i think it`s been a load of media hype, let`s look at the facts

A.. Russell Brand actually did go out with Andrew Sachs grandaughter

B.. Jonothan Ross has just released a book

C.. Andrew Sachs hasn`t been heard of since Fawlty Towers

D.. Andys grandaughter needs publicity

Now then, does that look like a `lady` easily offended? I don`t think so

[Cympil]

I forgot to add..Max Clifford is now representing her

What a load of !*!@#...there`s some gullible people in this world like

He may have appeared in all them shows but i only know him as Manuel

Jorga wrote "can`t agree here, we are paying licence money to Ross he is an idiot who thinks he can do and say what he wants lets have some decency please, as for the idea of the Mail being a Nazi paper, my grandad always said their were plenty of Nazis in Bedlington, " gifted Radio Controller" who are you trying to kid."

I'm quite happy that Jorga, as a licence fee payer, doesn't agree with me, another licence payer, about the worth of Ross to The Beeb. However, what can't be denied is the popularity* of the bloke, and what a 'shot in the arm' he gave to that moribund getto that was Radio 2; it wasn't long ago that all you got there was Jimmy Young, Wogan and a load more stiffs (the same has-beens wheeled out this week to put their spiteful boots in). Yeh, maybe Ross "is an idiot who thinks he can do and say what he wants ", but loads of us like that stuff. I do, however accept that abusing Manuel was a step too far and 'consequences' should have followed - measured consequences! But please, not the un-holy sight of Littlejohn and his ilk behaving like latterday Witchfinder Generals hunting down comics for burning at the stake of fake public indignation.

I'm sure the Mail reflected a large degree of popular appeal here in the 30's, the decade of Mosley's Blackshirts and rampant Anti-Semitism (including the popular move to keep those fleeing Nazi persecution out). Interesting how an organ of the Boss Class was avidly devoured by those being kept in their places (usually the Dole Queue) and how they usually absorbed the poison that suggested it was all the immigrants' (read Jews') fault.

Lesley Douglas was a "gifted Radio Controller" if one of those can be described as (and I do) having rescued Radio 2 from a diet of 1950's drivel and disappearing audience figures*. It is now the most popular* radio station in the land.

I think what really is driving this hysteria is Ross's wages packet 'cos just about every adverse comment/article/blog/posting usually ends up mentioning it ... well maybe fair comment (it is an outrageous amount of dosh), but he was offered £15 million from a rival broadcaster at the time but stuck with Auntie. I reckon this demonstrated the 'worth' of the job at the time.

Finally, why is it we don't see the Mail and the Sun waging a relentless vendetta against the Bankers, vile footballers, and other unworthies? Why don't they doorstep the boss of Barclays or those tw#ts Terry & Ferdinand with the same enthusiasm? Orders from above maybe ... "just following orders" - now where have I heard that before?
