    He's been sacked by the BBC 3 times and subsequently re-employed due to his appeal.

    He'll be back in a job shortly once the snowflake society moves onto its next kill...

    He put a picture up online referring to the circus which surrounds the royals..
    I can tell you, every lads WhatsApp group has much much worse going around about them..

    That's the thing about opinion, I believe it wasn't the most intelligent tweet to put up in the current environment. It was his opinion of a joke, not a sackable offence.. But then they're touchy about the royals I suppose

    It’s indefensible, and nothing to do with lads and their private WhatsApp groups. He posted this to society...very odd thing to do. And he knew exactly how society would see and interpret it...

    It has nothing to do with the royals. It has to do with racism...

    Vast majority of comments I am reading think he was bang out of order...
