Thread Name: BS: Jonathon Woss off air!
Subject: RE: BS: Jonathon Woss off air!
I notice two contributors to this thread who, I seem to recall, have in their time been banned from the BBC Radio 2 folk and acoustic listeners' forum. (I forget its exact title, but it's something like that).
Intriguing, isn't it, that the BBC manages to employ people to vet the contents of that forum, and delete posts and ban offensive letter-writers? Whose sins, incidentally, were mainly excessive adulation, or excessive dislike, of young Mr Lakeman. Yet the head of the channel, a 45-year old highly paid professional, was unable to assess Jonathan Ross' "he ****ed your granddaughter" comment as unsuitable for broadcasting...until it was pointed out forcibly to her by 35,0000 Disgusted from Tunbridge Wells.
