Alternate facts….how, with a change of perspective, to turn a drama into a crisis….
BBC sports reporter, Jacqui Oatley, is being investigated after allegedly assaulting a BBC cameraman whilst reporting on a woman’s football match. The incident is being looked into by the BBC as well as the Football Association to whom Oatley has provided her own observations about the alleged attack.
Oatley has expressed her regret at the incident which occurred after the England women’s team scored a goal at the Rio Olympics and she says she became overwhelmed by emotion but that, unknown to her, the camera was still rolling and filming her as she celebrated in an excited and passionate manner. Oatley objected strongly to this, she went absolutely ‘nuts’ and proceeded to bearhug the cameraman in an attempt to stop him filming and, when that failed, she punched him hard in the ribs shouting ‘Take that ya ginger bastard’ and as he lay defenceless in agony on the ground is reported to have jumped ‘up and down, up and down’ upon his helpless body.
David Moyes, Sunderland manager at the time, and a BBC pundit in the same studio as Oatley, is believed to be able to confirm that Oatley did indeed batter the cameraman and scream abuse at him but cannot say whether that was in any way sexist in nature as there was no reference to gender in the exchange.
A spokesperson for the BBC said: “This incident took place last year and we’re looking into what actions were taken at the time.”
The precedent has already been set for BBC presenters who punch employees, she should have gone already.
“but cannot say whether that was in any way sexist in nature as there was no reference to gender in the exchange.”
It may not have been sexist but I’m sure the use of the term “ginger bastard” makes it a hate crime. It doesn’t matter what the BBC and the FA think, Plod needs to become involved immediately.
The memory of Jo Cox demands nothing less.
The exception to the use of the above term, of course, is Chris Evans.
As I understand the law in regard to ‘Hate Crime’ even if one is not involved in the incident it is completely within ones power to perceive the above-related incident as such a crime. Even if one was not there.
Although I am not ‘a ginger’ nor, my mother assures me, a bastard, I feel threatened just by reading this and I would be grateful if anyone could put me in touch with an ambulance-chaser so I can get some compo.
I will drop all charges if the Beebbeebceeb (been listening to the Goons lately) Clarksonise the ‘lady’.
Edit: I think ‘Clarksonate’ would have been better. And I can think of a few Beeboids who should be clarksonated.

Does this ..ation include the MGM with a rusty corned beef tin suggested below? (OK I added the rusty – poetic licence)
I see a problem, the Beebess in question has no testicles.
Do we know anyone with experience of female accoutrement adjustment?
Silly me, of course we do, we know zillions of the bastards.
The Ginger gene is thought to have originated from the Neanderthal race. So in the BBC bubble, the racism would be far more serious than the assault. Unless the BBC regard Neanderthals as a superior race, because they are thought to have had larger brains than the average BBC employee.
She needs to be banged up good and proper, as David Moyes might say.
Who the feck wants to watch a load of wemen play football, they hate the sport themselves:
As with gay marriage, it’s not that they want it, they just want us not to have it.
Pounce,
In my experience , women enjoy men’s football and rugby and cricket. The BBC insult and patronise women. They have no respect for women.
But they do love Pat Mustard:
What really annoyed them is that more people were watching the punch up than were watching the ladies football.
She can punch him, jump on his broken ribs, garrote him & cut off his balls with an empty corned beef can and that’s OK, however utter anything deemed* as sexist then we all have to hide behind the sofa in fear of this hate witch.
*Decided by a BBC panel of petticoats hiding under a safety blanket.
‘Ginger bastard’ can be an insult but in the case of Chris Evans it is an accurate description. So I guess it is a subjective term.
Rio Olympics! Months ago.
AlBeeb have been sitting on this for months hoping they can avoid any bad publicity.
If you [#1] have a second cousin [#2], who knew someone [#3] who was in a pub, and this someone[#3] was told by another pub user [#4], that he [#4] heard in another pub, about someone [#5] in a football crowd [#s6 . . #’000s] who performed some non U act, you [#1] will be defamed by AlBeeb in a nanosecond.
Because the racist Albeeb cannot wait to give maximum exposure to anybody disputing their core beliefs.
Shameless hypocrisy – it’s what they do best, all the practise.
But why do BBC reporters/commentators get so excited? Every goal produces a shrieking response as if it has been scored to win the cup, scored by the reporters favourite player, playing for his favourite team.
As a saddo I fall asleep with the radio playing, the soft conversation or music and my dozing is then violently disturbed by a clip of one of those loons
“This took place last year”?
Odd, when Moyes makes a joke about slapping a bbc reporter he is castigated on every bbc program possible, Radio 5 live burning up time with him. Even Sky’s ludicrous The Pledge discuss how dreadful Moyes is, and how he should be denied any sympathy.
Yet there hasn’t been a dickie bird on the various morally superior, lecturing BBC programs about this.
