We know what happened last time when the complaints increased? That was people who hadn't even listened to the show.

OK, stand by all those who didn't hear the show, never listen to the show, don't really know who Moyles is, but have some axe to grind about what they think they know about him. Time to get your complaining gear on! Rolling Eyes

Seems to me he made a list of two 'stereotypes':

- Poles good at ironing
- prostitutes good at fixing cars

Neither are true stereotypes, in fact I'd suggest it is likely the other way round

- Poles good at fixing cars
- prostitutes good at ironing

and Moyles messed up the joke Laughing

1) ...after the DJ referred to women as ‘dirty whores’.

2) .....he told a phone-in contestant her children were ‘****ing brats

3) Now this? Three strikes and you're out!


The bloke's obviously a yob. and no, I don't listen to him.

Leaving aside the question of whether the Daily Mail has it in for the BBC or not. It seems to be becoming standard practice for the BBC to try and defend the indefensible. Then again they seem to have had plenty of practise recently. Who next, George Lamb? He seems very good at upsetting people by putting his foot in it!

The Mail must have hired a few reporters just to listen to the BBC stations to see how much dirt they can add to their grubby paper. Laughing

BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen Nolan had to apologise the other day after he wondered whether sex slaves enjoyed their work.

The BBC seem to specialise in insulting people these days.

Some of the main broadcasters think they are above Ofcom's law.
