TUT TUT: Thatcher gets the boot over "golliwog" comment


(Image: Carol Thatcher: Daily Mail)

Honestly...what's it all about?
Carol Thatcher, daughter of Baroness Margret Thatcher, has been told that her services as a 'roving reporter' on the BBC's "The One Show," will no longer be needed. This is after she labelled a tennis player as "golliwog" - off air...TUT TUT.

Thatcher refused to apologise for the outburst, as she claims it was simply said in 'jest', and as a result, the BBC quite swiftly told her to pack her bags...

In this day and age, she should have known that words like that would not be seen as acceptable, especially if you're in the public eye...

SO AGAIN, TUT TUT!

Politics and Grime come together

I hear that Norman Lamb MP thinks he knows more than a thing or two about the Grime music scene...

Mr Lamb, the Lib Dems health spokesman is apparently somewhat involved in the rising career of Tinchy Stryder. The Grime artist is on Lamb's son record label- strange but true.

The kind MP has attended gigs and even invested £10,000 in the record company.

Lamb told the BBC: "It's [grime] been the central part of our lives for the last three years. We've lived grime."

Well, if that's the case, I dabble in a bit of grime, could I have £10,000 too.
