Re: David Walliams - today’s least surprising news
There are many people who seem to support and advocate for trans rights at the bbc without needing to resign over it. The difference is they manage to do that without being a..eholes about it to people online (or “pugnacious” in his words).
It’s not his support of trans rights that did for him. It’s his behaviour associated with that that did.
The BBC’s statements on this were clear that they didn’t recognise his version of events and also clarified that he isn’t bound by impartiality rules like news and current affairs contributors are. Their statement noted that all BBC staff and freelancers are required to respect civility in public discourse and not to bring the BBC into disrepute, while also making clear that as a freelancer, he was not subject to the same impartiality requirements as presenters of flagship news programmes.

Ah, it seems that it's what the gender critical wife of Brian Cox says. I wonder if his trans positive views triggered this claim

Potentially related and not so cryptic tweet here. Gervais had Ince as support for some of his shows years ago - and gave him a role in the The Office...Gfamily wrote: Wed Dec 31, 2025 10:54 amAh, it seems that it's what the gender critical wife of Brian Cox says.

He really is. And a terrible live performer.

She’s not wrong though. As I said, he’s a mix of communal narcissist and a..eh.le/bully. Her tweet isn’t far off how he actually behaves, which will have been part of his undoing.bob sterman wrote: Wed Dec 31, 2025 11:26 amPotentially related and not so cryptic tweet here.

I follow him on Bluesky and Instagram. It’s a bit of a caricature but isn’t far off.
