Having read the so called complaints, all I can say is the world is fucked.

If you are upset by his comments, you haven't worked anywhere other than Social Services.

The worst comment seems to be 'I'm not wearing any boxers under my trousers'.
The problem isn't so much what he said, it's the unequal balance of power.

If it's banter among peers, I agree there's nothing in there really that most people would be offended by in a normal working environment.

The issue in this case and cases like it, is that you've got a highly paid senior celebrity presenter making sexist jokes often to young freelancers who are scared of losing their jobs if they don't "play along".

If it was a bloke making a sexist comment to an equally senior female member of staff in an office or factory or wherever she'd just tell him to fuck off if she didn't find it funny. Junior freelance staff don't have the power to do that. It's a power trip more than anything, which can be extremely damaging and manipulative. It's the same psychological patterns found in domestic abusers.
 
"These Kangaroo bollocks are slightly under done, but the koala bears arsehole is done to perfection, just like my arsehole darlin, hah hah hah. Now, how do you lick ya Mrs out?"
Don't think he could go that long without seeing his kid, they seem particularly close.
 
Stayed clear of this one.

He’s obviously a bit of a prat and made some upset with his behaviour , is the pile on too much ? Should his life be completely destroyed over misogynistic ‘jokes’ and behaviour in the past? Has he done anything illegal?
I don’t know. Either way it’s a lesson for others to learn.

If benny hill was still alive now he'd be in big trouble.
