What were the comments
Burke admitted "We don't like Morrissey anymore...because he's a racist wanker". (Dolly) Alderton shared Burke's disappointment with Morrissey's views with Burke adding "We idolise these people...but then people are three-dimensional and you get to know what they really think about life and it's just always a disappointment"

Re: The Kathy Burke podcast series:
"Where There's A Will, There's A Wake"

Still available here:


But...
I believe the comments were part of an extra subscriber segment where she and Dolly discuss emails - which is also still available to subscribers. Anyone confirm the offending comments are still available?

With deference to speech laws being different in the UK, would Burke have been likely to lose a libel case for these comments if Morrissey had sued? (Assuming that is what "legal proceedings" referred to).

If he could successfully argue he's not a racist wanker. Would be the trial of the century.

These accusations are news to me, never heard that he wanked racists. I guess the burden of proof is on Kathy.
