BBC have sacked people before for miss-use of social media, it’s likely it will happen again. Eee, you're not covering yourself in glory this morning. As I say even as a bit of a wind up, you can be better than this. Of course it matters, just think about it why.it does. And as for the guidelines, he hasn't 'broken' anything, which is why this has blown up in the Beebs face, as LW says best to read your links before you post them.

Also, his tweet didn't mention the Labour party as far as I'm aware. I believe you can critise this government and not be a Labour supporter. I've got Conservative friends who are despairing of this government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not equating the two, for what it's worth. I just think it was pretty clear he wasn't being got rid of simply because they wanted a refresh. No mainstream broadcaster is going to tolerate his kind of conspiracy theories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said numerous times on here he’s broken them in the past, he knew what he was doing. He’s got his publicity and will probably start a better paid job in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in breach of his contract, the guidelines are open for interpretation based on the job you hold in the company (hence the old all views are my own line for many on twitter) he's not brought the BBC into disrepute. It's all rather easy. There is pressure within the beeb regarding open criticism of the government, that's why no one is stepping in to replace him today. If it was as simple as you think, they'd have no trouble at all finding a replacement for tonight's show. And now they don't have a presenter for football focus 😆 They've right royally fucked this up. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, you're just not interested in the debate, or the wider issues, as ever you want to boil it down to anover simplistic point. That's your perogative, but I believe it to be wrong and ultimately boring because it (as it always does) ignore any context. You're wrong about the guidelines, you have little idea about how these are managed and you happily sidestep the problems of those making the decisions on what constitutes impartiality, which is why this had become a huge problem. And because of all that, I'm happy to let you go round and round trying to work out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin 😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
