This whole thing is getting completely ridiculous.

I'm sure he's a lovely bloke, but really?

Pressure for questions to be asked in Parliament?

Comparing himself with Savile and Ross/Brand, and suggesting that he should therefore keep the show because he's not been engaged in any illegal and repugnant activity?

(Assuming the Daily Mail hasn't completely misquoted him of course.
"Mr Harding, how do you feel about not getting your contract renewed whilst all this is coming out about Jimmy Savile?"
"Well I'm not very pleased to be honest."
"SACKED MIKE HARDING SLAMS SAVILE-PROTECTING BBC!!!!").

Long-serving radio presenter doesn't get contract renewed. Story over. Move on, nothing to see.
