Smart-arse BBC ‘Watchdog’ presenter Julia Bradbury seems to have been caught out in a £20,000 air miles ‘racket’, according to the Independent. Funny how these things always happen to people we knew we didn’t quite trust for some reason, but couldn’t put our finger on why. Ms Bradbury always comes across to us as a bit too smug and self-important, considering all she does is read an autocue machine in front of a camera, along with that other smug b***ard, Nicky Campbell. She has denied everything, of course, but in the meantime has withdrawn from the BBC’s consumer programme until the fuss dies down… pretty much like the dodgy fraudsters her programme fearlessly ‘investigates’. In the meantime, we miss the likes of Nick Ross, the late Jill Dando and all of the genuine people in whom we used to have complete faith. Who actually employs the Bradburys and Campbells of this world with licence payer money? We’ll be watching this case with great curiosity.

After uttering the dreaded ‘golliwog’ word in front of politically-correct BBC colleagues, she has quite rightly been sacked from her job as ‘roving reporter’ (should that be ‘barking’? – ed.) on The One Show. We suggest it was more to do with the fact that she’s lousy at the job and only got the role BECAUSE she was well-connected as the offspring of equally dotty parents. Thatcher was removed from her post after she refused to issue an unconditional apology for her remark, in conversation about a tennis tournament. A BBC spokesman said: “The notion that this matter is in any way linked to her family is just silly.” Miss Thatcher is now demanding an apology from the corporation over her treatment. Good luck with that, then, Carol….
We feel sorry for Russell Brand and the Radio 2 Controller who have now become fall guys for that overpaid waste-of-space, Jonathan Ross.
A lot of people tried to defend the incident by saying “only 2 people complained when they heard it”, or “there are worse things to worry about”. Sure, most people in the UK didn’t hear the show live, but it’s no less of a crime for that - either morally or legally, as an abusive phone call. If something offends us, we’re all entitled to complain about it, especially when the perpetrators receive public money. On top of that, it wasn’t funny – unless you happen to be 15 years old or brainless. In trying to appear edgy and hip, Ross lives by the sword. He should therefore be dealt with by getting the chop. He’s had a good innings but should now go for good. The British Citizen has no respect for Ross and will boycott any work he might get in future. The BBC has fudged this by merely suspending him for 12 weeks, but the people won’t let this drop. So, Wossy, don’t expect a warm welcome when - or if - you try to re-surface on our screens next year. Egotistical, self-obsessed motormouths have a limited shelf-life and yours is well past its ‘laugh by’ date. |
