I was absolutely disgusted and appalled over all this and I even for the first time sent a complaint to the BBC and sent an email to the Today programme on Radio 4 – 99% of the media coverage was a witch –hunt against Brand, Ross and the BBC.
It was so fucking obvious all the complainers and pundits hadn’t actually heard the show in its entirety – the offending bits were taken completely out of context.
It wasn’t a “prank” or “hoax” call as even the BBC are calling it – they rang him up cos he was meant to be on the show but he wasn’t in and they got his answerphone. Yeah, they rang him back but it was to apologise and it sort of got a bit lairy again. Jonathon Ross shouldn’t have said what he did but it was, dare I say it, funny! Anyone’d think they were mass murderers or something. It wasn’t that outrageous.
What everyone fails to mention is that the hysteria was whipped up by the Mail, the same paper that Russell Brand constantly takes the piss out of and it was either in that show (or could have been the week after) that he went into one about their odious ant-immigration editorials and the Mail’s support for Mosely and Hitler before the war. Surprise, surprise – they try to ruin his career.
Make them apologise they cried! If the cunts had of listened to the show they would have heard them apologise more than once on the show and afterwards in the vidiecast.
The whole affair is being used as a big stick to wack the BBC by those people that have a vested interest in seeing it broken. Tory twats with their friends and shares in commercial broadcasting were the first to condemn. And that shit Kelvin McKenzie was on both breakfast Time and the Today programme calling them louts and demanding punishments. You were fuckin editor of the Sun you cunt! – “pot and kettle?”
“The BBC should stop making programmes for the metropolitan elite” they spat. What??? You fuckin idiots…..the BBC make programmes for a wide range of different people - that’s what broadcasting is about you patronising cunt. The Russell Brand show is not meant for you just as the Strictly Come Dancing or Noddy is not meant for me.
Cut their pay! They’re paid too much!!! Maybe they are, but if the BBC didn’t pay them then the Commercial channels would. I think Ross and Brand are worth every penny and I’d happily double my licence fee to have good programmes and good radio.
Thank you Daily Mail and tabloid press and the same cunts that complained against Jerry Springer the Opera – I now have nothing to listen to on a Saturday.
