Orrr because they thought it was kinda sucky that people were dredging his Twitter....?

That will be a victory for about a day, yet the ramifications will last for Stu and for the wider ability to have a different view and debate will last for much longer. How sucky is that? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said there was no malice in the person telling Jordan to set his Twitter private - you've conflated some points there. I don't believe they were attempting to set him up to lose his job. I also think if speaking your own views would lose you your job maybe your views aren't that nice. I am absolutely all for debate, but I don't feel any was had. Stu told people his opinion as fact. Debate involves asking questions and presenting opinions. I don't know whether he should lose his job, truth be told. But I don't think he was stitched up here.

He was the presenter, not a contributor. He consistently showed a lack of empathy to the anti-racist callers, scoffs at them, interrupts, challenges every point they make, but does not challenge the good old boys that call up later. He was biased and had he gone un-chastised it would have meant that Manx Radio is not a place where racism can be discussed unless it is to dismiss it. That is your take. Lovely Lucy was just an onslaught as I posted above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's outrageous ringing a phone-in show and being articulate and prepared, poor Stu didn't stand a chance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will lose his job. This has been so well orchestrated there is no other outcome likely. They even successfully pulled the shows sponsors in overnight. He was most definitely stitched up. Purely because they knew that he’s a bit of a tit who was going to put his foot in it based on past performance and then they could leverage it for all that it was worth. The social media content that appeared the following morning was just too well done to be anything other than largely pre prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've disagreed on this before and I doubt we'll agree on it, but as someone who is on the internet most of ever day (it's my job, I'm not just a child) there was nothing particularly suspect about the speed or content of the response.
