Bit of a sad indictment of the American education system that people like these can have anything to do with schools. I can't imagine anybody in Britain associated with a school ever saying anything like that. Publically.

What a c**t. He's the kind of person that gives self-righteous, ignorant American homophobes a bad name.

And I bet he won't even get sacked from the school board.
He resigned a few days ago.
Quote: zooo @ November 1 2010, 9:34 AM BSTAnyway, hope he comes back! Throwing what comes across as a bit of a hissy fit isn't going to help. Silly old Stephen.

Get well soon, Mr Baker! One of the most entertaining men ever to have hosted a radio show. If you've never been part of his audience (or community, as I like to think of them) over the years, you have really missed out. Some of the most genuinely laugh-out-loud moments I've ever experienced have been listening to Danny on the radio.
BBC News is reporting that a Met firearms officer is under investigation after it emerged he deliberately inserted song titles into his testimony during the inquest into that barrister who got shot.

What a dick.
I suppose this would basically be contempt of court. He's probably still giving a true account but thought he was being clever.
I heard about a football manager who does a similar thing in interviews but that's quite harmless.

It sounds like a Steve Sunshine game that's gone too far. What is his day job?

He has the tash for it. The "fuzz", I believe it's called.
Yeah so there's been a brutal murder literally around the corner from my office. Can see the murder site from the office. Bit weird, because Newcastle City Centre is usally very safe.
