Please, I can explain. First of all, I too dislike his hectoring manner. I too have switched him off mid-rant on Question Time. His nakedly controversialist comments on Newsnight following the London riots betrayed his ignorance; I don't know whether he's racist in his heart but his comments certainly came over that way. His provocations of Scots and Welsh, are just tedious. He roused the mild-mannered Michael Buerk to levels of headmasterly anger never heard before during Radio4's The Moral Maze, earning himself the label "rudest man in Britain".
