A slap on the wrist, again, is hardly taking action against a serial offender of their alleged impartiality rules

I do not spend any of my time watching BBC or Sky News, focussing my attentions on GB News on a regular basis.
I am delighted to hear that Lee Anderson is to host a show on this news channel.
Farage, Rees-Mogg, Wootton, Anderson - It gets better and better !

I don't recall the cake case being mentioned for a while. Recently for me is the last few days, not the last few years, but hey ho, whatever!

I know what the judgement was and, whilst I accept it, I profoundly disagree with it. It seems to have succeeded on a point of law, rather than on that which is justifiable. I hope, and expect that at some time a government will pass new legislation clarifying the issue and making sure it doesn't reoccur.

The lady had previous. She was inviting arrest, was warned to stop or move away. Her actions were deemed to constitute a protest within the meaning of the prohibition order. If others were feeling intimidated then their rights were impinged. Maybe you don't care about them, but I do. They couldn't find another clinic in the surrounding area, but the lady could easily find somewhere else to pray, or protest. Therefore, her rights were less impacted than the others.

I have no idea which child you mean.

No-one commits thought crime. They commit offences when protesting in designated areas.

If he does it in his own time, and not on a BBC platform, I suspect they would run into legal jeopardy if they went any further.

We'll see as he has said he won't stop.

Many here would argue he has a perfect right to express himself that way. Or maybe not, because it isn't what they want to hear.

Not sure about that. I worked for a large corporation as a paid employee and a contractor it was in our contract that reputational damage would lead to dismissal e.g. get in a fight in a pub off duty or appear in the media without prior approval etc.

GL may not be a full time BBC employee but he is contracted to them and must adhere to their internal rules if his contract doesn't say that then shame on the BBC for basic failings in HR.

One more point

I know if must be difficult to remember one comment amongst the mountain of your parrot droppings.

Very magnanimous of you to accept a Supreme Court ruling. It didn’t succeed on a point of law, the accused were simply not guilty of the offences they were charged with.

Standing silently in a public street in which she was allowed to be in is deemed to be sufficient reason to arrest her – at least Stalin used to use trumped-up charges.

Of course you know which child I mean, the one involved in the scuffed Koran incident.

If the offence is standing silently in a public street from which you have not been prohibited, there is little else that you can be guilty of other than thought crime.
