Hmm. I wonder if that title could be considered slanderous!

Also, why do people always go for Moyles' weight! there's always a "fat" jibe, isn't there.

It may be considered slanderous over the racist remark, as I'm sure this is a false statement - I don't think it was supposed to come over as being racist. Then again, it can be argued it's not slanderous as it doesn't appear to have ruined/damaged his reputation.

The journalist shouldn't have used "fat" though, as by using an adjective she/he is putting their own thoughts on him, which you're not supposed to do when writing an article. Then again, he isn't the skinniest being..;)

Moyles might well comment on this article in his show (probably for comedic effect), but he'd never take legal action. This is because despite the fact that he can be a bit of an annoying twerp on occasion, he's not a hypocrite. Whilst he doles out the insults to others, he is certainly old and ugly (;)) enough to cope with taking them in return.

He may also realise that he has loyal fans, and eight million listeners. Moyles can cause more damage by slagging off The Daily Mail than attempting to sue.

Yeah, but a joke to some is funny. Others, however, can take offence. It's just a matter of beliefs and opinions.

well, yes but every joke in the work will offend someone so does that mean that all jokes should be banned ?

if you listen to Moyles then you expect him to be funny & make jokes, even if he inadvertently makes a joke that offends you (its not actually you he is making the joke about) you cannot laugh at Moyles jokes when they are aimed at someone else & then moan when a joke is made about something that inadvertently offends you.

how does Moyles saying "sorry" make it better ?

he said "sorry" because he was told to & for no other reason !

i think Moyles should sue, oh wait a minute !

what about a fat person reading the Mail are they not offended by the word FAT ?

a better way to get at the Mail is to mention the war & that they were on the losing side !

Give me strength...

I know it might be a bad move for Moyles, in himself, But I think it's time that the presenters, the comedians, started fighting back, a Lawsuit or three, get the media and all that off of there highhorse and get this idiotic Beeb bashing shot down.

Also, I expected more from the Mirror to be honest...

Maybe so but it's my friend who got upset and unless you have a polish friend who wasn't offended by the item, you can't really comment can you. As for me making myself appear stupid, you can't really talk. Still, an idiots born every minute so your not alone.

I said you were making yourself look stupid with the argument you were presenting. You have now proceeded to make a personal remark to someone you have A. Never met and B. Have as far as I'm aware never made my self look stupid in anyway on this website. How pathetic.

I will admit to not knowing a Polish person but I do know a person from the west country who doesn't find Chris offensive when he mocks them and a gay person who doesn't find Chris offensive when he takes the mick out of Aled. I also live in Loughborough; a place Chris mocked none stop for a week two years ago when he came to do the Rallyoke.

May I suggest your Polish friend becomes accustomed British humour, and that of Chris Moyles, lightens up and stops taking all our jobs. (Yes the latter was a joke, am I making an apology, am I heck.)

Its quite a strange thing really. Moyles makes so many potentially dangerous remarks everyday, regularly focussing on the same thing, over and over again, and few if not no one makes a fuss. Nicking your examples, I know people from down south who not only sound like Carries Cousin, but make fun of themselves! When it comes to aled and making a joke out of his Gayness, I know alot of gay folk who aren't offeded by it, I'm gay and not offended by it!

these regular things which some would say far out weigh the recent remarks go just about unnoticed, buit Single, one off comments, usually said in passing, get so many complaints, media attention, blown out of all proportion etc. It's stupid! I'm getting to be quite sick of this country and all of its mardy idiots now.

Thank you spokesman for the BNP, you have just proved my point. Your last comment is out of order completely. Sort your head out, views such as that have no place in todays society.

What the hell are you talking about? Think you should lay off the alcopops for a little while.

I think it's time to get the thread a rest. It's clearly getting a bit heated and not something that is the norm for Unofficial Mills. We'll agree to disagree with Chops' friend.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
