It's not even the old guy that's the problem. It's his whore of a granddaughter. She complains that he could have ruined her career- she doesn't have, she's an ugly whore of a stripper who needs all the publicity she can get.

I feel utterly deflated that he's resigned, when I listened to the podcast (which was released at least a week before the whole "scandal" of it was created and got a grand total of 2 complaints) anyone could hear how worried Russell and Jonathan were after leaving those messages, they weren't done maliciously, it was just thinking-on-your-feet gone overboard. AND it was a pre-recorded show, the Beeb didn't have to air it, so the band waggon of blaming Brand and Ross should be evacuated immediately. The owner of the answering machine in question didn't actually seem too bothered when interviewed by BBC journos, proving that this whole saga was nothing but a distraction from the money crisis we're facing. "Ol' Russ" became part the thing he tried to make his listeners more aware of - propaganda, trying to make it look like this story was far more important than the credit crunch, "therefore it must be getting better". He's hillerious and will continue to make people laugh untill the bitter end. R.E.B. we sallute you! xxx

It's really no different than what has happened in the US with people like Howard Stern and Don Imus.

It was resign or be fired. Nothing noble about it. That's how it works in the big leagues. Brand is a loose cannon and the BBC has too much on the line to let the guy remain on the air. Fortunately for Brand, he'll get offers from America and probably be paid better in the States than in Britain.

Re: MelissLA84 – TOTALLY AGREE! Cannot believe that they talked about this which really is a nothing in comparison to the state of the country.. ffs. Yeah they were a little out of order but the girl is in a burlesque thing called satanic sluts she's hardly a sweetie and best of all Sachs really doesn't mind and is satisfied with the apology and is not baying for blood. Thanks to all the tabloids, broadsheets and politicians who felt this was the most important thing in the country this week you fucking shit for brain cockheads!

Yaaaay blown out of proportion. This also happened last week, and the press actually reported then that they hadn't had a complaint from Sachs and only a few from listeners. Now that press have got hold of it, its gone crazy and people, who would never listen to Russell anyway are being disgusted. It was silly, but people who listen would know, that actually all the other phonecalls were actually them trying to say sorry, and stressing out about what had been said. Russell is a very funny man, Matt is lovely, and Ross is a legend.
