The BBC have suspended one of their pundits who described an incident as "handbags" !

The BBC at their virtue signalling best

(Waits for the usual suspects , Freez , Morecambe-Geek etc etc to jump to their defence)

I've always thought the term as used as odd and inappropriate. Much prefer 'kerfuffle'. Maybe that would be kerfuffling by a kerfuffler?

The article does say; "The BBC said: “After listeners raised concerns, Steve acknowledged some of his comments on air didn’t meet the standards we expect." Concerns & comments makes me wonder if it was other things said and 'handbags' was just chucked in with 'other stuff'?

Keith is right, there's far more to this than The Sun commented on. The Mail gives more detail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sport ... dbags.html

He was warned for language in 2018. He referred to the referee's wife, called a player a drama queen and said they'd have been better to wear a skirt.

The BBC also said he hasn't been suspended, and will be used as a commentator again in 2021... so one month away.

Far more important issues than this to get upset about. We really are getting to a situation where everything that is said can upset some.....unbelievable....

Don’t read trash like that, no surprise that some do though
