that MP is such a twat, surely he should be more concerned with running his constituency than this minor incident that the media have used to get a story. That grandaughter which brand slep with is a member of a burlesque dancing group called the satanic sluts, so she's hardly a sweet inncent girl that has been taken advantage of, the media is worse they splash kiss and tell stories of celebrities all over the newspapers yet brand mentiones it on radio and they start witch-hunt..

oh,my,god! get,a,life! its called entertainment. tim shaw is right with his comments saying that all this is a waste of time. as far as i am concerned there is an off button on your radio. either turn it off or turn it over to some old fogies bland sounding radio station. the way things are going you wont be able to have a laugh on air without it causing an enquiry. there will be just robots chanting out song titles and no personality at all

@IanGorton continued . . . The real issue here though is because the network on which the radio broadcast was made, the BBC, is funded through a license that everyone in the UK who owns a TV set has to pay (1 license per household, not 1 per TV set), straight from the TV owner to the BBC, it doesn't go to the government, which is why Nigel is wrong when taxpayers money is being "wasted" on this. It's not a tax because it doesn't go to the government, and you only pay it if you own a TV set.

@IanGorton Seeing as no-one else has explained it, a British comedian (Russell Brand) slept with the daughter of Andrew Sachs, one of the stars of a famous 1970s sitcom (Fawlty Towers). Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross, another famous UK TV personality, then made lewd phone calls to Andrew Sachs, left on his answerphone, on Jonathon's radio show. They are both very highly paid UK celebs and the radio show in questionn was recorded so could have been (though thankfully wasn't) edited. Continued .
