Tweeted a new proposed immigration bill as Nazi-esque. Typical liberal hyperbolic crap. BBC suspended him.


I finally got around to seeing what the hoopla was about.

Man frick liberals. So now not letting asylum seekers jump the English Channel is like nazi germany?


Yes Gary, you were out of order. This isn’t having legit discussion or dialogue throwing out that everyone is a Nazi.

Which would be fine except they only enforce this when they don’t like the opinion being expressed.


Calling people Nazis is not the way. It’s a bitch move. Act like a bitch, get treated like one.

I saw this channel in Thailand and thought it was really good. I just want news without spin and that doesn’t exist here it seems.

I think you need to separate his tweet from the issue at hand. The issue is that BBC selectively disciplines the political social media posts of its employees. That's what this is really about, not so much the content of what he said.

It's probably relative to how ridiculous the comment is. The tired old "I don't like it, so they're Nazis" is the laziest, lamest, most hyperbolic comment only a true dunderhead would utter. The type of garbage you expect to see from blue hair hipster on Twitter, not someone representing a supposed respected news institution.

Athletes and actors are legit stupid. Listening to any of them on any political issue is dumb.

That's certainly true. I'm sure that played a part in it.
