Stating the BBC 'MUST' strike a balance when enforcing the rules.
From that the only assumption I would make is the BBC have acted way too heavy handedly on this matter.
The BBC are no longer in my view, adept at striking much in the way of balance, never mind the right balance at all now. |
The impression I get though is that they've had talks with him explaining this, and said he can't continue making political comments like this and stay in the job, and he has then made the decision to leave rather than have his opinion reigned in. Which is fair enough, and entirely his choice.
