Oh well career over.(Guilty of being crass or not)
Uk MasterChef was the last one where it gave the impression that the people could at least cook and it wasn't all about the sad sob story of learning to cook from their dead Nona or deadbeat dad.
USA and Australia are crap in comparison.

"It tastes the same but it costs less"
His son was diagnosed but as far as I’m aware, he’s never been diagnosed or if he has, announced it?
He didn’t step down either, they dropped him.

The thing is, if I made such crude and crass remarks in the office to other colleagues, I could guarantee that I would (rightly) face some form of disciplinary as a result of it. I don't see the controversy in that?

He made a few off-colour jokes. People need to get a ******* grip. If these perpetually offended idiots heard some of the stuff at my place they'd have a bloody coronary.
Right and if management had called you in and rebuked you over your conduct and told you it was unacceptable and you continued doing it, what do you think would happen?
Yup.
We had a lady at work who’d deliberately stand near the workshop/parts entrance and listen to 12+ blokes having bloke banter, then report us to the management for what she’d heard.
After we’d all got sick to the back teeth of being questioned about it, we said we’d quit if it didn’t stop.
They binned her off sharpish.
Some people just live to feel some sort of faux offence.
And that’s fine. Why has been allowed to continue in the job season after season after season…
That's not the same thing at all, is it? She went out of her way to listen in on you.
With Gregg, he had direct conversations with women and made them feel uncomfortable. Would you be happy if men at work did that to your wife and daughters, telling them "I'm not wearing underwear and I want a massage?"
I think this proves our point tbh, not yours.
So nothing happened to the guys, and the person making the complaint was removed as they were being a trouble maker.
So not even a 'men are victimised and women believed all the time' trope.
There's also different dynamics when there's a power imbalance between a boss and underling and I'm sure the banter you guys have you don't say to the customers?
Because it's low grade stuff, but that low grade has built up over time (he's had multiple rebuked by the sounds of it) and it's finally got to the straw that broke the camels back.
To hand wave it away is only focusing on the straw and not the big bale.

We all had verbal warnings initially, but it got so out of hand with her causing trouble throughout every part of the dealership, she was then removed iirc she was on probation.
Then genuinely it sounds like the system worked perfectly in this case.
Yes, quite.
That’s the story everyone should be focusing on here not some presenter making bad jokes. Again, trying to reserve too much judgement until something more concrete comes out.
Also, how many times do rags need to start the story with ‘after the BBC covered up allegations about Saville’, whole other thing.
