Carol Thatcher

In a much publicised move this week, the BBC have sacked Carol Thatcher from the One Show after she made some inappropriate remarks in the shows Green room.

Carol is reported to have compared a well known tennis player to a golliwog in front of presenter Adrian Chiles and comedienne Jo Brand as well as various other members of BBC staff. The BBC were quick to act and have since dropped Carol from the show.

Whilst many members of the public are behind the BBC's decision to let Carol go, there are some who find the move a tad hypocritical when comparing Carol's treatment to that of Jonathan Ross.

Daniel Hannan at The Guardian rightly point out:

"Why is Carol Thatcher sacked by the BBC for a remark which wasn't broadcast, and whose subject hasn't complained, whereas Jonathan Ross is retained despite an attack which was broadcast, and whose target plainly was upset?"
