Those Brits sure love their Thatcher

FFS, Clarkson/Snow/etc., stop apologising/repenting. Anne Boleyn was guillotined, deal with it.

Sorry, what am I doing? I appear to have got involved in a debate on the internet about which racist is worse than the other.

Lord Foulkes "It is an absolute outrage of the worst kind. Disabled people will be up in arms about it, Scottish people will be angry – and it should concern all of us that the prime minister has been accused of lying."

ah see i was with him until that final bit (hey dude remember that little bit of trouble in Iraq a few years back?)

Didn't Clarkson have a go at someone who accused him of cottaging or something? Can dish it it out, can't...etc. Also the man is an outrageous liar.

Proved by science.

I think the One Show should replace Adrain Chiles with Hardeep Singh Kohli, coz he's a much nicer bloke.

nah he's annoying

racist

twice in one day?? what are the chances

I used to like HSK in that sitcom based in Glasgow(?) but when he was on celebrity apprentice (i think it was) he was tremendously annoying.

xp
Obviously this apology is completely meaningless. He meant precisely what he said. His fans will know that he apologised with a twinkle in his eye, and probably agree with him anyway, he gets a shitload of publicity for his crappy tv programme and the bbc ratings go up. Everyone wins.

Also a bit of Rachman...

The Hardeep geezer is, indeed, annoying. He is not totally without wit, but his superior tone is bad.

apparently The One Show had it's second best ever ratings yesterday

I like that programme where he patronises kids. That's about his level.

Singh that is not Chiles.

Adrian Chiles is just awful, I hate his miserabilist everyman act.

According to insiders, Thatcher – who won ITV1 reality series I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! in 2005 – was chatting with The One Show host Adrian Chiles and guest Jo Brand about the Australian Open when she described an unnamed player as a "golliwog".

It is thought she was referring to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, who went out of the competition in the quarter finals.

Apparently it has not been mentioned here, but it is now (in many quarters) believed she was actually talking about Gael Monfils of France, who went out of the competition in the 8th finals. No less a stupid & offensive thing to say obv, if this is the case, but a bit more ahem "understandable" in the "but Ronaldinho HAS large teeth" vein.

Um, those dolls at Sandringham looked like..

...?

..right?

Adrian Chiles is one of the few TV presenters I would happily leave my children with for the day. If I had children, that is.

myleene Klass? Although she seems quite busy...

i'd leave my kids with her alright.

What does that even mean?

NotEnough knowledge of vulgar slang, morelike

Awp. Should probably not have said anything but.... what first took me aback with CT's original remark (APART FROM THE OBV)

oops tab enter

Awp. Should probably not have said anything but.... what first took me aback with CT's original remark (APART FROM THE OBV) was that apart from CT not yet having entered the post-colonial age apparently -- -- -- Tsonga? Wtf. It seems way unlikely. Dude is a BLOCK of a man, not at all ragdolly! Gael Force at least has spiky comicbook hair. Hence I found that story more credible.

Sprinter Dwain Chambers is to make a formal complaint to the BBC after he was the victim of an abusive prank call by the comedian Iain Lee during a phone-in on Radio 5 Live. Lee, who appears regularly on BBC1's One Show, rang a phone-in hosted by Victoria Derbyshire on Monday and, posing as a member of the public called 'Tony', accused Chambers, who served a two-year ban for taking performance-enhancing drugs, of being "whacked up to the eyeballs on goof balls".

Encouraged by Derbyshire to air his strident views, 'Tony' then subjected the sprinter to a vitriolic rant, referring to the "goof balls and whack balls" he put into his bloodstream and finishing with the statement: "I'm going to buy your book and I'm going to burn your book without reading it."

I do wonder on whose side the Daily Mail crew will be on that last one. Will they be able to pass up another chance to have a go at the Beeb's lax standards, or will they want to go for the throat of a notorious drug cheat who possesses the wrong colour of skin for their tastes?

That's what you'd call a real ethical dilemma for them. It would almost be entertaining to watch them wrestle with it.

fucking hell iain lee is a massive prick and really needs to bury himself alive out of shame.
why this prickhole is on the one show i dont know.

GHOSTBUSTERS 2 LOL

yeah, iain lee is a dude who doesn't really need to exist

Never mind that the tactics they used to destroy The One Show’s reporter Carol Thatcher were reminiscent of the old East German Stasi, under whose rule people who refused to do and say what they were told were destroyed.

Brilliance, just absolute brilliance.

marcello has a column in a tabloid now?

An administrative blunder under the Thatcher government that has only just come to light has opened the door for retailers to sell unauthorised DVDs and video games, including banned films and pornography, to anyone, including under-age children without legal threat.

The Crown Prosecution Service has been told to drop cases relating to offences under the Video Recordings Act, which imposes statutory requirements for videos, DVDs and some video games to be classified and age-rated by the British Board of Film Classification.

The Conservative government’s apparent failure to notify the European Union of the existence of the VRA in 1984 means that the legislation is no longer enforceable in the UK.

UK now officially better than US

shit I'd better get a shopping list together for you guys

it's there already, it just has big fuck-off circles covering everything, or so i'm led to believe.

We already have a perfectly workable system in place whereby 7 year-olds just tell their parents to buy GTA for them in Gamestation.

and wait ouside, smoking a fag

Oh dear:

"This must be a massive embarrassment to the Tories, especially as David Cameron was the special adviser to the home secretary in 1993 when the law was amended."

Wow, can't wait to hit Dixons or Woolworths and stock up on some banned VHS tapes now.

"This must be a massive embarrassment to the Tories, especially as David Cameron was the special adviser to the home secretary in 1993 when the law was amended."

Yeah right. Because Cameron has shown real signs of being electorally hindered by everything the Tories did in the 80s and 90s.

Still not dead?
