Quote Neil HFC="Neil HFC"He spoke his mind?, I was under the impression it was a joke. Or did it just get classified as a joke after the fuss kicked off.
For someone who claims to be so anti PC and "says what everyone else is thinking" etc etc you'd think he'd have the courage to stick to his convictions rather than back down at the 1st sign of people disagreeing with him. Ah well, all mouth and no trousers, unsuprising really.'"
He hasn't backed down either.
Quote Neil HFCHe explained to The Sun: "I was just making a joke about the BBC's need to be impartial. If you listen to the whole interview, you'll see there isn't a case to answer.
"I started by saying I supported the strikers. Obviously, because it's the BBC, I have to be impartial. So then I said they should be shot.
"Most people who are complaining haven't seen the full interview. It's a knee-jerk reaction.
"I would urge Unison to watch the whole interview and see if they're still offended afterwards."'"
