Strictly speaking he’s not an employee, he’s freelance.

But as you say, he’s got previous.

From watching the news just now being freelance changes nothing and he was still representing and working for the BBC and had been repeatedly told to stop and that he was subject to the rules.

You could be Micah Richards, I’ll be Roy Keane.

 

70/30 in my favour I’m afraid.

Are you saying I’ve got shit hair, retired before 30 due to injury, and laugh at all kinds of shite that isn’t actually funny?

While you’re the bitter, taciturn, hardened old bastard that hates a lot of what football has become?

 

Fair do’s I suppose.

 

I’ve just done some quick maths on the label I ripped off a bottle of red, and I can live with 70/30.

Not according to HMRC 

Nothing to do with HMRC, it’s to do with their rules on impartiality.

I reckon had he not brought the Nazis into it, there wouldn’t have been the furore.

 

Never a good idea to compare stuff to the Nazis, unless it’s genuinely comparable.

Wasn't exactly offensive what he said, just simply expressing an opinion which you're seemingly not allowed to have in England anymore. 

No establishment just hits you with fascism they slowly integrate it...

I guess that depends if you receive public money (which they have no choice if they pay it or not)

People trafficking is right up there with the vilest of crimes against humanity and it's quite correct that anyone so openly supportive of it should be taken off air.

 

Hopefully permanently.

He didn’t mention Nazis, he compared it to 1930’s Germany.

 

Six and two threes maybe, but not quite the same.

Did you think he was talking about Cabaret?
