Formula One puts brakes on Bernie: F1 blasts Ecclestone over 'very stark contrast' to sport's values after billionaire ex-boss said he'd take a BULLET for Putin and backed Nelson Piquet in Lewis Hamilton N-word racism row n a bizarre interview on Good Morning Britain, former Formula 1 owner Bernie Ecclestone, 91, branded 69-year-old dictator Vladimir Putin a 'first class person' and 'sensible.' It comes after reports of Russian attacks on apartment buildings and shopping malls in Ukraine, the latter of which was branded a war crime by western leaders. Despite the tens of thousands of innocent civilians feared dead in the eastern European country, Ecclestone branded Putin a 'sensible person.' Speaking from a sunny rooftop in Ibiza, Ecclestone also took a shot at Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he was a comedian before the war and appeared to 'want to continue being one.' The billionaire then insisted the invasion 'could have ended differently' if Zelensky had 'talked with Putin'. When pressed by journalist Kate Garraway, who asked if he believed a change in Zelensky's actions, rather than Putin's, could have avoided war, Ecclestone replied: 'Absolutely.'

The Marmite that is Vanessa Feltz was interviewing Joan Rivers. And she kept referring to Joan as "77 years young". Ignoring the fact that Joan did not like the term. And said it once too often:-
"Here's Joan Rivers, and she's 77 years young."
"And here's Vanessa Feltz, and she's 350 pounds thin..."
I've just become a Joan Rivers fan.
Ms Feltz is one of those strange ones who has become famous despite having zero talent.
No idea Tony, but anyone who has had the misfortune to listen to her sickly saccharine coated radio show will know what I mean.
