GREGG Wallace had pledged in his damning statement there would be “more casualties”; from the BBC’s hapless handling of the investigation into him.
If the BBC has its way then
Which beggars the question, where the hell does this all end?
In its desperate efforts to save its mighty cash cow, , from cancellation, the
behaviour, by his own admission, was unacceptable.
But poor John is now being hauled down with him.
His mistake? Telling a story, that he cannot remember telling, in a bar seven or eight years ago, and using an offensive term.
As soon as he was informed the term was racist,
No complaint was made.
Nobody actually knows when it happened. Or if it happened.
Certainly John doesn’t believe it happened.
Now, so desperate to clean up its house, or indeed kitchen, is Auntie, that she is asking John to jump before he is pushed.
Incredibly, they suggested he , and walk.
How, in this day and age, was this allowed to happen?
Quite rightly, John refused.
Putting matters of ethics to one side, the BBC’s witch-hunt against its talent is becoming ever more extreme.
To be clear, Gregg should have gone — but if this isolated incident is his only offence, John does not deserve to go down too.
At this rate, there will be no-one left to present its shows.
