Even Gordy Brown couldn’t swerve the most important issue to hit Britain since Kerry Katona slurred on This Morning, and End Of Show have been tireless in our efforts to squeeze opinions out of those almost directly linked with this breaking news.

Chris Hannon once played Luigi, the camp waiter from the Italian restaurant in Coronation Street. As a pretend waiter, like Andrew Sachs, we thought he was the perfect pundit to give his views on Manuelgate. He speaks : “In any other job they’d be sacked. Suspension is a tokenistic, empty gesture. But Brand is employed BECAUSE he courts controversy.. He’s ‘yoof’.

Chris can be seen in Blood Wedding at Liverpool Empire on 24.11.08 – 29.11.08

Pete Muldoon is the station manager of HCR 92.3 FM, an actual radio station : “We were as surprised as everybody else to learn that Russell Brand has had sex. We at HCR do not condone the act of ‘leaving messages’ though we believe that Andrew Sachs, his granddaughter and the BBC can all handle knockers….”

James Patterson once worked in Burger King, and knows what it’s like to be a sort-of-real waiter. His views : “There’s shit going down in the Congo, the murder trial in Liverpool and the whole world is in a state of economic chaos yet these two cunts are on all of the front pages. You couldn’t make it up. Personally I think Sachs has more talent in his little finger than these two wankers put together.
I also feel that those who say people are over reacting are missing the point – the fact that these two even perceived they would be able to get away with this incredibly disrespectful (and vulgar) prank points at a society that grows coarser by the hour and revells in bad taste and indecency.”

Clarry McDonald has been to Barcelona, where Manuel was from. “On one hand whereas the gag was of poor taste on Andrew “Manuel” Sachs, this suspension is the result of a typical over-reaction by Daily Mail reading Nazi-sympathisers.
The ironic thing is, these outraged citizens probably still think it is funny on their Spanish holidays to abuse waiting staff in time-honoured “Manuel” fashion. Because that’s the sort of ilk that subscribes to Daily Mail propoganda. On the other hand…it’s as interesting as an old gentleman’s wrinkled genitalia.”
