I also think that Ross is a terrific broadcaster, but fire Brand, is an insult to the tradition of the BBC and its listeners, with no redeeming features at all.

I think that it might be an offence in law. The possibility that one knows the perpetrator is not a mitigating factor. From what I have heard Mr Ross knows he did wrong and has some sense of right and wrong. Lots of people have apologised in court only to be found guilty of an offence carrying imprisonment as the penalty. Insincere apologies are not an apology. BBC is correct in following its own employment disciplinery procedure, as everything must be done properly to avoid providing a case for employment tribunal proceedings if the ultimate sanction is taken.
