Sad that this is how it ended for him, but you got to face the music sometimes (and he had numerous lucky escapes).

Whether he is anti-Semitic or not, I agree his statements were tasteless and insensitive at the very least, and do reflect very badly on his character.

I agree also that Channel 5 did the right thing. Those behind the scenes- camera men, producers, etc- had to hear them, even if viewers didn't.

Far too many excuses have been made for Lewis this series on far too many occasions, and it is time he realised he cannot continue to behave as he chooses to do, with no consideration for others, without consequences occurring. It is time he took responsibility for his actions and accepted those consequences.

It is an irony that everything Lewis professes to dislike in others are character traits he possesses himself.
