Signs new 5-year deal with the BBC.

Well done to the BBC for standing up to the sandal wearing political correctness brigade and keeping this white, middle aged man in work.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

With a 23% pay cut!

But I’m more interested in his ability to trigger people on Twitter (and here) to be honest.

But no doubt, as you say, Wrongo and co will be delighted a white, middle class male has secured a top job for another five years.

I wasn't a fan of his, but warmed to him and admit he's good at his job. He's good at what he does at the end of the day.

He should ditch BT Sport though.

Oh no. This is bad news. I wanted the BBC to give him a 25% pay increase. It would have been fun watching the permanently angry brigade boil over.

Gary presents a dilemma to the BBC as on one hand he’s a middle aged heterosexual white male and he’s Jewish ( yikes) and king of “ super injunctions” but on the other he’s a bleeding heart remainer narcissist liberal asylum seeker landlord whose v good at his job . Verdict -keep him but dock his pay a little and everyone’s happy
