He was accused of racism for making remarks about the African-Caribbean community and for the content of his posts to an online forum.

|---|---|
| 1 | [The "Silver Ring Thing" is] deeply counterproductive to preventing teen pregnancies and preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. |
| 2 | [on BBC coverage of the death of Nelson Mandela] For Christ's sake BBC, give it a bloody break for five minutes, will you? It's as if the poor bugger now has to bear your entire self-flagellating white post-colonial bien pensant guilt; look! Famous nice black man dies! Let's re-run the entire history of South Africa. That's better than watching the country we're in being flattened by a storm. |
| 3 | I would take Hitler, Harriet Harman, George Monbiot and Robert Mugabe doing a barbershop quartet version of Mull of Kintyre over Sting's greatest hits. |
| 4 | Gary Glitter, from what little I know of him, strikes me as a thick and unpleasant monkey. But they shouldn't cut his songs on grounds of his later behaviour. Even if they are truly fucking awful. |
| 5 | When King (Jonathan King) was sentenced to seven years in prison for sex crimes I wrote to him sympathising with the harshness of the tariff and the unfairness of the court case, but added that I thought he deserved at least seven years for 'Una Paloma Blanca'. I got a remarkably cheerful letter back from his cell which vaguely agreed on the last point. |
| 6 | There are plenty of very stupid women at the BBC. |
