yes well OFCOM itself is about to be dismissed so nothing new there.

Their reasons are pretty tawdry but the whole idea of the Ch4 program (which I haven't seen or intend to) sounds absolutely disgusting.

People are entitled to think anything they want about GG but the manner in which he has become a whipping boy for the media including now as an execution fantasy reflects what a ghastly society we have become.

But we've just watched an old fogey demonstrate what a dill he is and thus demonstrate what cowards we are led by-with whose help the West managed to murder tens of thousands of Iraqis, Afghanis and Pakistanis.

It's been an amazing month when you think about it...a monolithic enterprise holding the nation to ransom on the strength of 'pedo' claims and similar about all stratas of society is brought down by it's own ghastly intrusion into a murdered school girl's death.

Last night we witnessed the beginning of the end of the Murdoch empire.Plenty more scalps to come.

By the end of all of this GG is going to look like Mother Theresa.

I confused OFCOM with PCC but they'll all get done over after this.

I would like to see GG come out with a new album or something similar to what JK did with Vile Pervert. He was something to say and he has the talent to say it. He needs to stick it to the man, you know, that's what rock stars are suppose to do.

that's a good idea Ted and I reckon GG should demonstrate that he refuses to be the whipping boy of the phoney child 'protection' racket who have been exposed as amoral creeps getting into bed with tabloids that hack murdered children's phones.

One great thing with the internet-artists can by-pass all the usual routes of distribution and deal direct with fans.

He should have fronted the press in 2000 instead of running away, but as I have said before I believe he was threatened by his previous 'backers' at News International that they were out to crucify him.
A comeback is out-of-the-question as he is far too reviled and was, post-75, always reliant on press coverage anyway.

I imagine that if he did release another album, he would be lucky to reach triple figures. Even if he hadn't had the convictions, he would generally be regarded as a fat old oven-ready ready turkey who could provide a bit of camp entertainment at Christmas for upper middle-aged ladies to re-live their youth. Don't get me wrong, I could enjoy listening to "Rock and Roll part 2" or "Leader of the gang" etc, but am I interested in any new material from Mr Gadd, I don't think so!!

"he would generally be regarded as a fat old oven-ready ready turkey"

He was regard as fat and old back in 1972. But the music was great.
