Ben Jacobs hits back:
BBC freelance sports broadcaster Ben Jacobs, the alleged prime suspect in a high-level BBC inquiry into the sabotaged early Saturday morning precording for a 5 Live sports news bulletin that contained inserted obscene material from the Beeb’s bloopers file, will take legal action if necessary to clear his name.
Jacobs says in an email to BBC colleagues: ‘I now face being barred from potentially all BBC outlets for something I fervently, vociferously can swear I did not do, nor could ever conceive of doing.
‘I will take the matter to a law-court if I have to, because I have worked hard and honestly for the past five years and some idiot has ruined my reputation and career overnight.’
(Listen to the sabotaged broadcast.)
‘…some idiot has ruined my reputation..’
These days, that would probably be the guy who gave him a job working for the BBC.
Must be amazing to be pissed on by the same cronyistic twats that got him the job in the first place.
