The real BBC scandal is that John Prescott
has been allowed to talk about class

Obviously, the senior powers at the BBC should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. What a cock-up. What a failure of leadership. What a grubby betrayal of Reithian values. Is our licence fee really well spent on this gibbering nonsense? What were they thinking of? Why did they commission a two-part documentary on class from John Prescott?

Russell Brand on class; that could have been interesting.
