Exactly. Whatever the wrongs are in this the only question is "what does his contract state". And none of us on the forum appear to know for sure. Having said that, this quote tells me he is not contractually obliged else there'd have been legal action started already. And the BBC was accountable for the content of that contract.

UK Chancellor Plans Multi-Billion Welfare Cuts to Balance Budget
Watawattana replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yeah it should be. Along with (for example): Stopping all DEI spending immediately and insisting that if a public organisation wants it then they pay for it without a single penny of taxer payer funding. Zero aid to any country with a space programme. Zero aid to any overseas DEI or arts programme. Chop 50% of management posts in the NHS and spend a lot of that money on proper care. Telling every state funded aid programme to reduce their overhead costs by at least 80%. Collecting every penny that was corruptly spent during the pandemic from those responsible (Boris et al). Collecting all relevant corporation taxes from 'offshore' companies who are profiting from the operations in the UK. Collecting back-taxes from everyone claiming for domicile who wasn't, e.g. Sunak's wife. Cutting all winter fuel allowances from MPs. Give Diego Garcia to the Americans and pull out totally. No reparations to any country for an act or acts that happened before the 1980. An independent public procurement organisation that is funded by the suppliers (say, 1% levy on each tender response that is only paid by the winner) where the high-level tender responses are open to the public (see this for an example - https://www.gebiz.gov.sg/ptn/opportunity/BOListing.xhtml?origin=menu, look at some of the 'awarded' contracts, e.g. https://www.gebiz.gov.sg/ptn/opportunity/directlink.xhtml?docCode=SSC000ETQ25000009). All fines increased ten-fold, plus any profits of crime seized. Have a multi-tiered approach to VAT, cheap goods low or zero, luxury goods 50%. Scrap the BBC licence fee and make it a commercial service with zero public funding. Levy fines on any media outlet that publishes inaccurate news. Includes X, Facebook and any foreign-based or owned media. Oh, and of course, kick out the illegal immigrants back to France or wherever they came from, and slim the asylum process down to a maximum of 4 weeks including any appeals. -

Koh Pha Ngan Police Criticised for Ignoring Foreign Cannabis Thieves

Can't be too much hassle for the cops to start a local Facebook page for their station and to post appeals thereon? Even in crazy Britain the cops are allowed to do that! -

Thai Hospital Staff Accused in Massive Drug Fraud Network

100% agree. Shambles in the UK too; one of the (very many) reasons why NHS spending is so crazy. -
Lambeth Council Faces Backlash Over Driveway Parking Crackdown
Watawattana replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Maybe if they investigated and corrected any spending that's happening on anything that isn't core council spending then their excessive fees could be reduced? Personally, tough 💩 to those who illegally drive over a pavement/sidewalk to get to their driveway, they should not be allowed to break the law. They should have known it was illegal; the guy in the OP admitted that he knows it's illegal. And using the fact that someone has hybrid and/or electric vehicles as they are 'green' to potentially avoid this is a joke; they are not as green as the sales people would try to make you believe. -
US Economy Races Ahead While UK Struggles to Keep Pace

I'm sure the Labour Party could twist the figures to make it look like they're doing a great job. Or, alternatively, blame the Tories for their 14 years of failure. -
Is Trump a Russian Asset, Controlled by Putin
Watawattana replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
It's not for me to support either the Reps or the Dems, so no agreement or disagreement from me. But I did do a search to see if I could buy a cardboard box that could get put up in the election. I found these in the process... 😆🙈 -
Is Trump a Russian Asset, Controlled by Putin
Watawattana replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
I must admit to not have bothered to read all the bickering so I may have missed something in this thread, but might this be virtually nothing to do with politics (rightist, leftist, racist or communist) and more to do with a business deal? Lots of minerals in Ukraine apparently, and Trump & Putin are carving up the spoils? No evidence, just my guess.
