The fact he tried to say that he didn’t fully understand the term when he was happy to use it is a cop out
>He added: „It is no excuse, but I did not fully understand the derogatory term I used and its meaning.
Absolute crock of shit, he knew and didn’t care.

Particularly disappointing considering he’s worked closely with the girl who plays Janet Mitchell in EastEnders for most of her life.
Can’t be bothered to look into it any further.. does the article actually state what he said ?
When did we hit a point in time where news articles didnt include the piece of news they’re talking about?
Even if they put the first letter *** end letter, otherwise its just man said naughty word in a private conversation.
They’re words, you give them more power by not being upfront about it.
I.e – X has said Y.
BBC doesn’t say what word he used and the Sun article linked censors it. Can the slur not be used even in the context of reporting the news?
Say what he said and then put the origin and implications of the slur along with it. The cynic in me thinks they do it to get people discussing it in the comments leading to people justifying and defending the language
I’m not condoning this but I can certainly understand that not everyone is going to know the meaning of slurs.
For example, I got told off by someone a while back for using the term „nitty gritty“ because they said it has racist origins, but doing a little bit more digging I found that it’s likely a a myth that it’s a racist term. At the very best it is highly contested that it is a racist term.
Seems a tad harsh, Joe Deacon suffered far more courtesy of the BBC.
Leslie Grantham murdered a guy and went to prison for 10 years before he got the job as Dirty Den. Standards have definitely changed.

Should be sacked. He’s shit and it’s a great opportunity to get rid of him. Useless and boring!

Being Blackpool born and bred – I’ve been called worse.
What did he even say, something that starts with M is all i got.
The way the BBC described this I was expecting something a bit stronger than ‚Mongoloid‘. Imagine being in an organisation where using the word for idiot in common parlance is ruthlessly policed by people who are a decade away from being outed as nonces.
These comments are funny as shit lol, it’s like it’s a sport to see who can get more offended on behalf of someone else.
