Mart	There is so much human irony here. Ok 30,000 complained, had this been a record, 30,000 would have bought it.
JK2006	But Walter, only 2 Radio Two listeners complained after broadcast. We must consider acts in the correct context. Late night bad taste gags to a select audience are acceptable if tasteless. Publishing them to millions is not. Take something out of context and publish it elsewhere and it may well offend. If 30,000 listeners had complained after broadcast I would concur. Since they only complained when it was published by the tabloids, I believe the fault was the tabloids in publishing offensive material and upsetting their readers.

Mr Sachs has stated that he is not that bothered himself, I don`t think this is a simple matter of blaming the Mail as many are for blowing this up, if we peel under the unseen onion like layers, I think we would find a set up waiting to befall certain people. Couldn't agree more Mart - if this was a parody it would considered a very stupid parody
walter Sobchak	JK I understand your position on Associated Newspapers, but 30,000 people felt the need sit at their keyboards and vent their feelings. They weren't urged by the papers you mention, they did because they they wanted to have their say and speak out strongly on the topic. You cannot argue against that weight of public opinion. Radio 2 listeners are conservative with a small c and such unpleasntness clogging the airways offends them.
