I’m not going to rehash the details of the story, but if you don’t already know it, find it here.
Obscenity, humour and taste are all rather tangential issues to this. What is at the heart of the matter is that the behaviour of Brand and Ross was bullying.
Brand has past form on this, he has hoax called police hotlines and insulted the daughter of Rod Stewart. It is now evident that this childish excuse for an entertainer is incapable of telling what is appropriate behaviour.
The BBC should also be having a long hard look at itself for broadcasting the episode despite Mr. Sachs’ plea for them not to do so.
Putting them in the stocks, which would be the equivalent of what they subjected the Sachs family to, would of course be unfair and a waste of fruit. Nonetheless they deserve to be punished. I will reserve judgement on Jonathan Ross, but Brand is a repeat offender. He must be fired.
