        Or the editor in charge of the situation is a complete twat and should be forced to resign themselves over his treatment...

          Sorry for the link to the wail but here you go:
          BBC sacks DJ for playing 'The Sun Has Got His Hat On'... because he didn't know the original features the 'N' word - even though Clarkson wasn't fired for actually saying it | Mail Online

            And for the "offending" song itself, at 0:59




            BTW Admin I just noticed my thread count has exceeded yours, at 2871 vs 2846. Is this a cause for celebration? Have I "arrived"

              My old man is going to be gutted - he religiously tuned in to David Lowe on Radio Devon every Saturday night for a trip down memory lane.

              Sure there'll be countless other old timers feeling the same way.

              Nice one BBC.

                They offered him his job back but he said he won't accept. Sounds like middle management screwed up and they tried to fix it. Also, I wonder if he's not accepting his job back because he wants to sue for unfair dismissal and, possibly, damages relating to his health.

                  But tulip hip hop music that uses it a dozen times is fine. WTFF.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    BBC's handling of the situation has stressed him out.

                    After 30 odd years in broadcasting a big payoff would be nice.
