The US economy is now on the edge of recession, as well as the UK's. The housing market is rapidly going down the pan. There has been a whole slew of deaths in Afghanistan, and now it turns out the soldiers have more to worry about, health-wise.

Surely, surely, any of this is more newsworthy than Jonathan Ross being suspended. Anything. Yet any

I totally agree with you. It's just gotten ridiculous. A matter like this should not be making headline news. It just defies belief. I'm seriously pissed off with seeing it all over the place.

I completely agree with you - except that, to Russell fans, (but to Russell fans only) it will make a lot of difference even in the long run if he doesn't have a new radio show, because it was by far the best thing he's ever ever done and probably will ever do.

I feel like Britain has finally lost it. Has Gorden Brown literally got nothing better to do? It's like this whole thing is one big distraction - the BBC are using the frontmen as scapgoats from the fact that they chose to broadcast potentially offensive material (although it really wasn't bad) and the government seem to be using it as a distraction from the rest of the country's problems. Everyone's just jumped on the bandwagon, only two of the thousands of complaints were made by people who actually chose to listen to the show. Why does anyone else even care? By paying the liscence fee you aren't being forced to watch/listen to all of their programming. It's utterly, utterly ridiculous.
