made him look like a little kid didn't he.
He didn't know what to say and ended up sounding childish.
Sums up the man.
"We're sorry to hear of your objection to Kelvin MacKenzie's role as a presenter for this programme. While we fully recognise the strength of feeling that some people have against Kelvin, he has a great deal of experience in broadcasting and a keen eye for stories, which makes him well qualified to give his views on the news stories of the year.
Kelvin MacKenzie will always arouse strong feelings from our audience - that's in his nature as a broadcaster and as a person - and clearly not everyone wants to hear what he has to say, but equally there are many others who appreciate hearing his opinions even when they don't agree with them.
Many people have highlighted to us Kelvin's recent statement in which he said he wasn't sorry about the Sun newspaper's handling of the tragedy at Hillsborough, but such private comments are entirely his own and they are in no way endorsed by the BBC. We believe he is an appropriate choice as presenter for this particular programme, but your comments have been registered and will be taken into consideration."

- Everyone on benefits is a sponger.
- All homosexuals are perverts and predators.
- Anyone of Arabic or South Asian appearance must be a terrorist.
- All Scousers are scallies and the city of Liverpool is probably satanic.
- The most important thing in the world is the value of his house increasing.
- White van men have the solution for sophisticated political and social issues.
- "Facts" don't necessarily have to be facts.
- Live TV was groundbreaking and ahead of it's time.
- Anyone who isn't white, straight, a homeowner and from London isn't technically human.
