Ralphie, you are wearing blinkers. ANY national newspaper these days (except the FT and the Morning Star) would run the story if it heard that a household-name actor had failed to get a response to a complaint about behaviour such as that of Ross and Brand - especially where such behaviour had actually been broadcast. And why not?

The BBC justified its failure to respond with the argument that "no-one picked up the email." LOL. Blame this failure, and not the Daily Mail, for bringing on the storm. The Beeb is about as responsive as the central nervous system of a dinosaur, and for an organisation whose business is communication, this is farcical.
