brand i could never stand, think he is a load of over rated tosh, ross good for a while espicially on "they think its all over" but now he,s become very predictible with the same old stuff everyweek both on the telly and radio. what they have done is wrong and beyond acceptable, but without knowing the ins and outs of it all, i am coming to some sort of conclusion that brand was likely behind it all hence his decision to resign, not as the right thing to do, but more as a case of jumping before being pushed following the inquest which will no doubt follow. the suspension of them both again a case of the beeb having to be seen to do something in the face of the whole affair. when the whole thing dies down in the next few days, ross will be back on air hopefully chastened by his part in the affair and maybe in a position to reflect on his actions and perhaps give us shows in which he is able to use his wit and repartee not to outrage but to provide the type of entertaining program which no doubt the beeb were hoping he would provide for 6 mil a year.
