...and then the comment boards get cracking. What are they even for? If you're in no position to complain, stop complaining. Just shut up. Try and keep quiet. Remain silent. Try it. Go on.

Hmmm... as a Radio Two listener I happily listen to Brian Matthews' Sounds of the Sixgties on a Saturday morning. After what happened last autumn, I then either turn off or switch channel when the Ross programme comes on, as many other Radio Two listeners do, in silent protest that this bloke is still employed by the BBC and porks so much of our licence money. I don't watch his TV show either, for the same reason.
So I didn't hear the Hannah Montana joke and I'm in no position to complain about it.
But I'm not surprised either.
Nor am I surprised the the BBC and Ofcom fobbed off the complaints, as there were only sixty of them.
A lot of us complained about Ross and that prize idiot Brand even before Sachsgate, so the BBC must have known they were employing trouble. But bvecause the complaints were tricking in in small numbers, they thought it was safe to ignore them. Even though people were complaining about Brand or pointing out his erratic behaviour virtually every week he was on. Just check out the archives of the BBC radio talkboards.
Funnily enough the BBC recently deleted its Points of View: Radio talkboard, thus depriving radio listenens of the platform on which many of us complained about Ross and the puerile Brand .
There is no no place on the BBC's talkboards to raise publicly complaints about BBC radio. I do wonder why...

I listen to Jonathan on Saturday mornings; only wish his show started earlier, so that I didn't have to sit through all that tosh from the Sixties (and I'm a child of the Sixties).
