I've been thinking about this this afternoon..
Russell Brand slept with his grandaughter. And then told him. On a pre-recorded radio show.
When you consider how basic the story actually is, its hard to see why its a scandel. Two concenting adults having sex, and then telling the family. Thats not a crime, and its not "indecent" (Though, perhaps tasteless). Its the fact its on the radio which is the issue.
I'm glad the Radio 2 controller has resigned. The buck lies with her.
EDIT TO ADD:
Just read this. Got to agree with Noel Gallagher on this one:
"Personally, I'm outraged that, yet again, the joyless *******ers who write the columns in the Daily Mail, The Telegraph or The Observer have dictated the tone and are telling people how to behave.
"I've seen the Daily Mail, they said that Russell should be arrested and charged. Arrested for what? For taking the p**s? It's so typical of the English in general. 10,000 people get outraged, but only days after it has happened."
