Letter: We're all entitled to opinions

Letter: You do sometimes have to wonder if we in the UK have lost our grip on reality and our ability to put things into perspective.

The Andy Gray fiasco is just a little a storm in a tea cup blown out of all proportion resulting in two guys being sacked from their job for daring to have an opinion on a female assistant.

This opinion was being expressed by two men off air, an opinion they are entitled to have and entitled to express between whoever they see fit.

I would imagine that this lady hears far worse while performing her job every week.

The most worrying part is these comments were made in private, they were then made public. Our media did the usual hatchet job, asked the opinion of the odd de-ranged feminist or PC idiot and two guys get the sack.

Where will this all end? What would we hear if we decided to bug our police officers' canteen, school staff rooms, the royal house hold etc and then made the private conversations public? More than likely we would hear the odd sexist, racist and a lot more unpleasant remarks, much of it done in banter because all people, no matter what they do or who they are, will have opinions we may not agree with.
