Ian, I was not comparing Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's remarks with Jeremy Clarkson and James May on Top Gear at all. I was comparing them with his LATEST remarks about shooting protesters, and mocking people who commit suicide under trains (remarks which at least the BBC saw fit to expunge) If vicious and repulsive remarks are 'funny to someone' (and I don't need the 'see?' thank you very much) I assume you feel it is perfectly acceptable to air them. I don't.
