I agree with the Observer article last weekend. She can be criticised and dropped if her piruettes are not up to par but she is not employed for her political skills, so I don't think it reasonable to sack her for them; in fact in the ordinary course of events she has no opportunity at all to express any views publically as a representative of ENB. It doesn't seem any different to me to demanding a footballer is sacked because he has a personal opinion about something, or indeed a musician or sculptor.

I understand that there is a complicating factor, which is that there have been hints the ENB, as a recipient of public funding, might find its income curtailed if she is not sacked. That would be unjust but not, I'm afraid, that far out of the ordinary.
