Renewal of contract or sacking they amount to the same - He is scapegoated on the alter of some weird ideological nonsense . Under the guise of a “reset”
The BBC coverage of the Israel / Palestine issue has been unashamedly pro Israel. But they get to hide behind this charade
“ Dead cat” scenario
Well it’s not the same thing is it. I have some sympathy with the situation that Torode finds himself and I hope he tries to clear his name if he feels he’s done no wrong. Wallace on the other hand is just a moron who deserves everything that come his way.
BBC have a whole series of Masterchef recorded that'll now never see the light of day.....gotta feel a bit for the contestant who won it and would've changed their life on the back of it
That's bollocks. How we ever gonna know who won it????
I've never watched a single episode of Masterchef in my life so can't say any of this bothers me, but reading what Torode has effectively been fired for is incredible.
Something that allegedly happened 7 years ago which Torode denies and says he can't even remember*. How on earth can you get sacked for that?
If my boss came to me and said sorry we've got to let you go because XXX person says you said this back in 2018, i'd think he was on a wind up.
* the party claiming JT said something rotten even reveals that the expression wasn't aggressive or personal and he apologised there and then.
Any such faux pas is currently going to get the same outcome if it can be made out to be rooted in prejudice, irrespective of any real world context. It ain't "PC gone mad" or "creeping woke thought control" for us to deny any room for prejudiced attitudes and commentary. But we most of us understand that clumsy mistakes can be made. Sadly for Torode whenever this was publicised it would cost him his BBC (subcontracted) job. For Tim Davie to pull on that gravely sincere mask for this shabby affair is nauseating in the extreme. He really is a venal hypocrite.
The BBC has made a couple of ludicrous blunders in the last couple of weeks and as its operational head he absolutely has to walk. We can be pretty sure where his bias steers him on the abominations ongoing in the holy lands, so we can reasonably infer that he wasn't involved at all in not cutting off the Glastonbury gobshite or in the inadequate vetting of the Gaza documentary, but he is the boss, the buck stops with him, he has to be the first to go. The hands on miscreants can be dismissed after due process.

Whatever Torode is meant to have done I think it's really unsavoury the way it's been investigated. They could simply have replaced him with another presenter.
If you're going to investigate stuff it should be done in a timely manner.

Allegedly sang along to Kanye west's golddigger song as it played at a works do.
Hopefully they cut the bit where Greg gets his member out and sticks it in the mash.
That reminds me of the line (sample?) on The Beastie Boys album Ill Communication: "If this is gonna be that kind of party I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potato".
Only the amateur one. No decision been made on the celebrity or Christmas special. I’m glad they’re showing the amateur one, it’s not their fault what’s happened and the result could change their life. Bin the other two, absolute waste of time.

Then S Club 7 gave it a nod in their 1998 banger, S Club Party with the lyric - "Ain't no party like a dick-mash-party, hey ohh hey ohhhh"
Dunno about which chef would be good to replace the Aussie but I reckon Banijay could do worse than have rotating 'hosts' of the program a la HIGNFY. Grace Dent, Jay Rayner and William Sitwell are always great value as critics, it's clear they understand it is an entertainment show first.
Inevitably though there will be relentless bullshit spouted about how 'old, male and pale' the selection is or 'woke tokenism' from the other side of the fomented division gobshites.

Put it up on the web, you’d probably get blokes offering money to.

And then again chatting to a mate as an example.
7 years ago and he denies it.
Who has cheese on a full english?!?
No, if he stuck it in custard....
