I just don't get it FFS.

RB and JR were out of order, bang out of order - showed themselves up to be a pair of utter cunts. I always knew that about JR anyway, but he IS funny, mostly because he is so subversive - i don't remember him always being so close to the mark though.

BUT omg - is this really such a big deal. Ms Sachs is probably reveling in the publicity and making a fortune out of it to boot. Yes i imagine Andrew Sachs was INCANDESCENT with rage about it. Bet he wished it would all just go away though - but the baying public just wont let it go will they - consequently more embarrasment for the Sachs family. Had there not been outrage i wouldn't have even known it happened.

As for politicians becoming involved - THAT is worrying, it makes me wonder exactly what it is that is going on that they have jumped on this bandwagon for a smokescreen.

I actually think it was down to the producers that this got so out of hand, they should have pulled the recording, issued apologies by the bucket load and jumped through whatever hoops Mr Sachs saw fit for them to jump through, but oh no, they rather liked the idea of the outrage and publicity.

I can't help but be very cynical about this, on the face of it this was a very childish and laddish prank, by a couple of fuckwits - but like it or not, neither JR or RB are stupid, quite the opposite, i think they are both highly intelligent - so WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?????
