Sorry, that was posted by accident before I had the chance to check it out and comment on bits of it. I got it from the BBC news website. I suppose the main thing in the extract is the rather beige response from Labour. Oh well.

I note that the following bigwigs have all come out in support of Gary: Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel, Tim Farron, Nicola Sturgeon and ( wait for it...) Jeremy Clarkson.

What a bloody mess. Oh, by the way, Tim Davie, the BBC Director General, is a true-blue Tory who makes no mystery of his right-wing predilections. That's on top of the chairman, a donor to the Tory Party and the facilitator of a massive loan to Boris Johnson. Well who'd have thought it. No wonder they don't like Gary. As for me, I won't be watching the farce that will masquerade as Match Of The Day. Unless, of course, Gary is at the helm. I've seen it more than suggested...
