The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

I think not.

Why not? I don't want to fund a sterile, sanitized, over-filtered politically/racially/culturally correct-to-the-pont-of-nonsense broadcasting company, which is where we seem to be heading. I want the BBC to provide a service for people with enough sense and understanding to recognise a joke, to laugh at themselves occasionally, and not to take offence simply because the Daily Mail says they should. I don't want a free for all on obscenity and genuinely offensive broadcasting, I just want the BBC to apply a bit of common sense and reason to the corporation's policies. I really can't see why this is so difficult.

I agree, obviously most of us (except for a few wierdos) don't want full on sex & the word c****t said over & over again on the BBC but at the same time I don't want a "wrapped in cotton wool" BBC.

Anyway if anything, at worst, what Moyles "supposedly" said about the Polish isn't racist, at worst it's stereoptypical. This is the problem, the word "racist" is used too many times nowadays, the word people should be using is stereotypical.

However it was neither of these things it was just a little joke.
