But the Sunday Express has reacted furiously to the BBC's decision. It accused the BBC of "grossly over-reacting" and called on the corporation to reinstate the presenter immediately.
"The article was not a racist article and it was a rewrite of a previous article that appeared in April without complaint. The Sunday Express rewrote it during the Christmas period, but there was not one complaint before," said a spokesman.
"It was legalled by lawyers and there is absolutely no case to offer. The Sunday Express believes that the BBC is gagging free speech and is absolutely appalled."
why the hell are they re-writing old articles, is this because RKS is too tired and emotional/barking mad/insert other reason here to write new ones himself?

Once again an individual who states his opinion is jumped upon by the Politically correct brigade. We are now only allowed to express opinions in this country if it is the opinion of the view rather than the many. When will the BBC and the government finally sit up and listen to the average man and woman in this country, otherwise their will be segregation and a lack of education. Let's put some common sense thinking back in the UK. Well done Kilroy for expressing your views.Neil Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
"otherwise their will be segregation and a lack of education." sums it all up.

Remember angus deayton? he was sacked for what goes on in his private life. At the end of the day a TV company has to do what they think would keep the most viewers. and it's not always going to seem "fair".

This is the man discussing politics with his 18-year-old daughter, not sure if she is a character, or even just a set of adjectives, imagine reading a saucy taboo novel and getting this in the first chapter.

Ah the reviews
I have just finished reading this book by Robert Kilroy-Silk who was one of my most favourite presenters whilst on TV. I haven't heard much about him over the past few years and was excited and curious to know what type of novel he could have possibly written.It looks like this has been his first book on the Kindle and I only hope that he can give us some more from where this has come from. I loved it. A very awkward subject to tackle, Kilroy has written a blinder and according to the cover, is based on a true story, which makes it even more compelling.I knew he wouldn't let me down.

There’s beef!
IN October 1985, The Oxford Mail reported on a pair of seemingly innocuous backbench Labour MPs having a 'scuffle' in Parliament.'Astonished' colleagues watched on as one grabbed the other 'by the lapel' in a face-to-face row.The whole incident was probably overblown - one, Robert Kilroy-Silk, merely became a chat show host and the other is, well, favourite to be Britain's next prime minister.The row broke out when Mr Kilroy-Silk challenged Mr Corbyn 'over remarks he made during a weekend television programme', according to the now Labour leader."MPs looked on as the two appeared to be near to blows - although none was struck," the Mail added.Mr Corbyn said the pair came face-to-face while voting against a contentious transport bill.He explained: "Mr Kilroy-Silk came up to me and said he wanted a word. He grabbed me by the lapel. I thought he was overwrought and overexcited."Mr Kilroy-Silk did not comment.

"overwrought and overexcited" = "tired and emotional"
― The Man Who Was Thirsty (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 13 November 2019 20:18 (six years ago)
the contentious transport legislation was the deregulation and privatisation of buses i think

#TheMostImportantGraph, to which I have added an annotation. How bus use in major cities outside of London went from double the level of London to half the level of London. It's important.

having a little peruse of kilroy's work as a times columnist in the late 80s and he was already fully formed back then. hates ted heath and the eu, compares the emerging eu to the crumbling soviet block, literally has a column with the headline "Dark days, when white cannot be beautiful", and has this to say about Lady Osamor (who was rejected by the NEC from the shortlist of the vauxhall clp candidacy despite being nominated by numerous branches and affiliates, the place later going to kate fucking hoey):
If proof were needed of her ``unsuitability'', or that she is out of touch with most Labour voters, it was provided the Saturday before last when I interviewed her for Radio 4's Behind the Headlines. Martha did not know that the Cup Final was to be played that very day, still less who was playing.That was strange, to say the least, given the media attention it had received after the Hillsborough tragedy. More to the point, it is extraordinary that someone who aspires to be a Labour MP, to represent working people, should demonstrate such an ignorance of their national game. Whatever else she may be, she cannot claim to be a woman of ``the people''. Not of those who live in Liverpool, Birmingham, Preston, Huddersfield or Leeds, she can't.
