Adebayor's started so well for Man City
The Fat Controller has left the building
Five Live's controller has left: Bob Shennan has "defected" to Channel 4 Radio (no-one ever just gets a new job in showbiz - they always defect or are poached by a rival). BIt taken aback when a colleague rang me with the news - I swear her voice was trembling when she said "I've got some news".
It crossed my mind for a split second that she either she was pregnant or that she was going to be the first to tell me I'd been sacked. It's the Catholic guilt in me. I thought: 'I know this morning's show wasn't award-winning but I didn't think it was that bad.'
Anyway Radio 1's Andy Parfitt is overseeing us for a bit. Never met him but I know he's got blonde hair. Could be fun for a few months and then we'll have to get all serious again.
There is a story on the BBc web site that you maybe should look into.
'They pick on vulnerable girls' this is the ´óÏó´«Ã½ (pc) version of a very serious story about gangs of Muslim paedophiles operating in Blackburn, Keithley and Bradford/Leeds.
The Times ran a fuller article on the issue and a specific case in Jack Straws constituency
and
This has echo's of the case in Keithley in 2004
where grooming was going on, but the channel 4 documentary was halted by the "police"
(they were being criticised for doing nothing, but that wasn't the reason .... ).
Obviously this issue is still being ignored by the police and local authorities because of the "Racism" card being played by the muslim asian community leaders.
sadly Victoria i dont think you have ever been serious in your broadcasting life. your show is all thats wrong with this station poor research poor topics to discuss and a bored sounding presenter unless you are talking about soaps footie or gossip
lets hope the new controller brings some new blood into the station starting with a new presenter for the 9am weekday slot
