There are a lot of words that have lost their meaning or bite in the last few years... "1930's germans" is one of them because of people doing stupid stuff like this.

He's stepped down from presenting duties until they can come to terms on how he conducts himself on social media.

Which proves Gary should've stick to sports.

Again the same mistake here. Not the actions. The words. And I completely agree, the WORDS being used by the Government are very persecutory, making scapegoats out of people to deflect other current issues such as cost of living crisis, tax dodging, train fares and corruption. Let alone the fact the head of the BBC is a Tory donor.

They've since all had a meeting and have sorted everything out.
