Know what? I’m pretty disgusted by the way BBC News is treating Gregg Wallace. The guy may be, possibly is a bit of a creep, but creeps have their rights too and should be treated fairly.

To me that does not include hanging them out to dry on the basis of a series of unsubstantiated stories most of which are either gossip or second hand. For example, Rod Stewart claims he was rude to his wife and that is accepted as fact with no exploration or explanation.

BBC News trumpets its independence from the rest of the organisation, That’s bullshit, because everyone reports to the DG and the board. What it’s really doing is revelling in its own power. We all know where that leads.
