We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to lift any suspension or penalty on Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand and make it clear that they hold the full support of the BBC license payers. The BBC received 1800 complaints about phone messages made by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross on their Radio 2 show. By signing this petition you join the ranks of the license payers who wish to convey to the two through Gordon Brown that they have a weighty number of supporters who think it was a jolly good giggle.

I am currently drafting a formal letter to the Prime Minister to ensure these signatures are formally presented to his office. My focus is securing a direct response regarding the disproportionate nature of the suspensions.

The scale of this response is now sufficient to warrant a formal briefing document for the Prime Minister. I am currently finalizing the presentation of these signatures to ensure they are delivered directly to the office of the Prime Minister this week.

The BBC is so boring now. Ross and Brand are the only reason I even turn the radio on anymore.

Seriously? Since when did everyone get so sensitive about a prank call. Keep them on air.
