Anyone heard of Disability Pride Month?

Anyone realise it is this month?

Me neither

The beeb is in a total mess.

Fired for something that was allegedly said in private where no time or date can be put on the offence

Seems the beeb is full of fvcktards and apologists at every level.

Perhaps a leadership failing?

I would say more that attitudes towards what is defined as harassment versus ‘banter’ has shifted considerably and in most cases rightly so. However, I do think where nothing illegal has occurred, historic behaviours should perhaps be best judged within context of their time? Maybe?

I wonder how many on here are glad that all of our comments from 20/30/40 years ago are not put under the microscope and judged on todays standards? I know I would probably not come out without some mud sticking despite having always tried to be aware that I was never overstepping boundaries…

Its the more recent examples for which it is impossible to offer any mitigation given that these standards have been around for some time now…

Reading a lot of articles and having met some celebs, many are obnoxious pricks the beeb is tangling itself up though historical abuses vs current attitudes.

Greg & now John were much easier targets than many no doubt…
And yeah. Good choices all round to “avoid” celebrity for all of us

Surely he’s been sacked by the production company that sell the programme to the BBC? The BBC just pay Banijay for the right to screen it, so are unlikely to have directly sacked Torode as he wouldn’t have had a contract with them. They are free to choose which programmes to buy or not.
Personally, i’ll be pleased if the programme is never shown again - turgid bollocks and a load of old shit.

Yeah.
But.

He should be burnt at the stake

BBC sacked John Torode after he ‘used N-word twice while singing along to Kanye West song’

Say’s the Karaoke king

That stuff was well banned

Awkward

Just seen a picture of Starmer and Trump walking down a flight of steps together. I’m not ashamed to say, Lady Slowlane and I immediately voiced an identical wish.

This amuses me

I would imagine this applies to 100% of corporates, everywhere.

Solves your tax shortage if you just fine everyone…

I sold insurance to most of the motley crew who built this. I’m only surprised it hasn’t happened more often.
