The Brand 'Affair'
I'm a subscriber the Brand podcast. It's a very funny, but rather 'on edge' programme. However...

1. It was Ross' idea to keep phoning up. Why isn't he getting grief?
2. Yes, it is an offence to make prank phonecalls - so why did the Beeb broadcast them?
3. 10,000 people phoned in about the calls. How many of them actually listened to the podcast?
4. Whilst the Prime Minister sees the finanicial markets collapse around his ears, he decides to comment instead on a rather trivial comedy programme.
5. Sachs actually gave his permission to play the recordings before the broadcast when contacted by the show's producer.

Am I the only one seeing the hypocrisy and parallels with the BrassEye furore??? Am I the only one who thinks that it's been a little bit blown out of proportion?

Edit:- Sorry, didn't read down. But my points are still valid. Moving on...

Brand is an annoying twat
Any excuse to get him off the air is a good one.
