BBC Bacteria Ripe for Disinfection

BBC Bacteria Ripe for Disinfection

The BBC has apologised to actor Andrew Sachs for the "unacceptable and offensive" content of calls made to him by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross during a radio show. As well they might. But why is this apology not also accompanied by immediate sackings, starting with Messrs. Brand and Ross?

If the calls made to 78 year old Mr. Sachs were even half as unpleasant as reportedly they were, they would mark a new nadir in what the BBC pompously calls 'public servcie broadcasting'. If, as the BBC now admits, the calls, which were not made on a live show but which were subject to editorial scrutiny pre-broadcast, were 'unacceptable', does that not imply that the making of them and the passing of them as suitable to be aired were acts which cannot be countenanced by the BBC and which should be met with terminations of contracts all round?

Quite why the public should pay for these pieces of sewer bacteria to disport their singular nastiness is beyond me and, I suspect, beyond the ken of most decent people who have to pay a broadcasting Tax (a.ka. 'The licence fee') to sustain their expensive lifestyles. 

But then the BBC, which now accepts it is institutionally biased against the opinions of a large section of the public but feels disinclined to do very much about it is hardly likely to administer much more than a slap on the wrist to these two unpleasant cretins lest they offend whichever audience they think they appeal to. 

If this is what is supposed to be the best public service broadcaster in the world has to offer, then the title is seriously misapplied. Not just Brand and Ross but the editors, directors and producers of this egregious piece of sewage ought to be given their marching orders.

They won't be, of course. Such is the contempt the BBC feels for the Taxpayer who is forced on pain of prosecution to fund this trash that nothing meaningful will be done. And if nothing is done, the next lot of sewer rats will feel a sense of impunity as they pour filth into a pensioner's ear.

And why, one might ask, did the BBC have to wait for Mr. Sachs' agent's letter of complaint before acting?
