dvp82 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Having watched various interviews he had done on the news, this guy does come across as been totally clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howden Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Got to agree with you. From the BBC... "He has commissioned a report from BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie into what happened with the Newsnight investigation, and expects to see it on Sunday." He should be doing this himself, not asking others to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howden Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 He has resigned, not a suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 As title really. He was kicked from pillar to post by John Humphries this morning on the Today programme. He claimed that he didn't know that the Lord McAlpine story was going to be run by Newsnight, which must have made him the only person in the country. Quite unbelievable stuff.

Happ Hazzard Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 How does a man like this become DG of the BBC in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 How does a man like this become DG of the BBC in the first place? Like everyone does nowadays, you apply for the post and have an interview. That has to be the shortest stretch a DG has served. I feel for the man, but he's done well to get out now, no point in him serving as a dartboard for the scumbag media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I might apply for the job! Doesn't seem that hard to do, just make sure they only show good programmes and get rid of all the rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Will he be entitled to a pay-off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 He will most likely have negotiated one prior to his resignation. I hope he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
