NOT surprisingly, I'll be mostly talking about Kilroy this week. Now, how can I word this so no-one asks for my head or calls for my daytime programme to be taken off the air (which by the way is called 'Dungar number one' and airs on Punjab TV)?

The strangest thing throughout this on-going affair has been the kind of arguments being written, saying that Mr Kilroy shouldn't have been sacked and need not apologise. Everyone from Richard Madeley to Jonathan Aitken have jumped to the presenter's defence.

It's censorship pure and simple. A curtailing of our freedom of speech and political correctness gone mad, that's what it is.

But if you come out with stuff like that you are, in fact, asking for it. Just because he's a nice guy counts for nothing. I'm a nice guy for most of the time but if I decided to write some stereo-typical mumbo-jumbo about people of another race and religion I would be in trouble. There are no hard and fast rules to writing but Mr Kilroy's comments would be better suited to a far-right rag.

The worst excuse was 'I wrote it last year'. So it was Arab bashing time last year then, was it? And things have changed so much since.

Okay, everyone should be allowed to say what they want and where they want. But is that really the case in life. I feel if what is happening in Israel was happening anywhere else in the world we would be the first to invade the country. I think some people drink too much beer and then keep me awake on the way home from the pub. I think road-bumps and speed cameras are part of a council conspiracy to keep all the brothers in check. But you won't catch me saying it. Not in public - in front of everyone. I'd be inundated with letters.

Maybe then I could get interviewed by Trevor McDonald on a Monday evening.

Icould also get everyone to feel sorry for me and become a martyr for those who want to 'say it as it is'. Because that, I'm afraid, is what has happened.

The BBC is getting all the flak for doing what most public employers in the same situation would be expected to do and Trevor Phillips and everyone at the Commission of Racial Equality is being seen as a bunch of meddling bureaucrats.

One thing is worth remembering though. If Kilroy managed to get away with a simple slap on the wrist there would be another outcry. So either way Mr Kilroy-Silk loses. And that, readers, is just the way it is.
