      for the sake of STV, SNP, and the rest of us, let's hope they see sense and he feels able to stay.

      I think he'd be better at a news paper, if he wants to be polemic that's the place, broadcasting is not, there are rules

      rubbish. And he's not broadcasting either. He should be free to work wherever without being bullied by gov. This isn't China.

      but it's a broadcasting brand and quiet clearly blurs the lines. I'd be all for him writing in a news paper with his polemic stuff

      Stephen Daisley isn't pretending to write the news. He's writing his opinion.

      again I'm all for him voicing his opinion, even as much as I disagree with him

      you can't be "all for him" voicing his opinion when you're trying to dictate how and where he can do it.
