I heard the tape of this exchange ... Ken sounded pissed (as in UK pissed i.e., had a few glasses of free alcohol) and the reporter just asked "how did it go?" (meaning the party)...

What followed was entirely an ungracious and needlessly aggressive response from Ken, that then just got worse with ratcheted up, and increasingly offensive, deliberately, provocative remarks to mild-mannered objections from the reporter. (Either that or the tape had been edited - and Ken hasn't denied the tape evidence of what he said).

Ken sounded like a stupid, ignorant, out-of-order prat - if he isn't, then a personal apology wouldn't come amiss to someone who was just doing a job .... would it be okay to abuse e.g. traffic wardens just because they are doing their jobs? Or e.g. doctors'receptionists because they are doing a job?
