If the BBC were an organization with any respect for decency, Jonathan Ross would have been sacked on the spot, and Russell Brand blacklisted for life. Once upon a time, a man caught doing anything half as dishonourable would have been quietly approached by colleagues and left alone in a room with a tot of brandy and a loaded pistol.

They've both been sacked/"resigned".

I'm guessing that Russell Brand is even now writing jokes about it for his show on Sunday night in Los Angeles, though. The professional offense-giver. He's going to be appearing in a Disney Christmas film, apparently. Lovely.

And since apparently Brand really did sleep with Ms. Baillie, I hope this will warn other women what kind of man he is and kind of risk they're taking if they choose to sleep with him.

The girl herself is a stripper by profession, she is out in public, and is therefore fair game. But she was merely an excuse for a vicious public beating of her grandfather, who was elderly, uninvolved in her antics, and a beloved figure who had had a major role in the greatest English sitcom ever made (he was Manuel the helpless waiter in Fawlty Towers). The general feeling is a cross between their kicking a helpless dog in the street, and insulting a national monument.

PS, if Ms.Baillie ever needed any instruction in "what kind of man" this public scumbag-by-trade really is, she must be a lot more unworldly than the average stripper ought to be. I would rather say that, since she is supposed of being very fond of her grandfather, she might now reflect on the effect her lifestyle has had on him.

Mind you, some parents and grandparents deserve what they get. The daughter of one of the worst Islamic hate preachers in Britain left her father's house to become a pole dancer in Catford (down the road from where I live and not a very respectable quarter) and live without marriage with a succession of mostly non-Muslim men. My only reaction was: it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
