“Some of your hat-tippers may have already picked this up, but last Friday’s edition of The Now Show featured a comedian called Paul Sinha. Amusingly, and to much audience laughter, he said that in order to meet the BBC’s commitment to editorial balance a comedian from the Far Left was always balanced by one from the Centre Left. He added that ‘he was always grateful for the work’.”
Is Brian “Limmy” Limond worthy of a BBC license payer funded pay cheque?
“Scottish comedian Brian ‘Limmy’ Limond has apologised for controversial Twitter messages about Prince William and the Conservative Party, after calls were made to sack him from the BBC, which also came to the attention of Conservative MP Louise Mensch this morning. Last night, Limmy, turned his attention to Prince William’s involvement in the FIFA Poppy ban on the England team’s shirts, which drew the eire of members of the Conservatives, who called for him to be sacked from the BBC. The BBC subsequently released a statement stating that he did not work for the organisation and that his comments were his own. This morning, Limmy continued to provoke the Conservatives, members of which, it is understood had contacted the BBC to complain about the comments, by adding an avatar of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with the words ‘Die Now’ written in red over it.”
Thoughts? I see he has wiped out the offending tweets although if you read some of the subsequent ones, I struggle to understand why the BBC, or anyone, bothers with his clown.
