Wow, anyone would think Jonathan Agnew posts on Nicks:
"Oh, stop it Aggers. The news that Jonathan Agnew MBE, the BBC’s voice of cricket, has been reprimanded by the corporation for repeatedly calling a journalist at the Independent “a %$^%$$%” might come as a bit of shock to those who follow Agnew’s sunny broadcast presence..."

You may be on to something, WPT. I'm trying to see which of his insults I have not been called on Nick's.
No one on Nick's has demanded of me: “Apologise now.”
And no one on Nick's has asked me: “Who the f*** are you?” |

"Agnew, who earns between £180,000 and £189,999 as the BBC's cricket correspondent, has missed England's first two one-day games against Pakistan owing to a planned holiday.
...
In December 2018 Agnew told his colleague Gary Lineker to keep his political views to himself, adding: 'I'd be sacked if I followed your example.'
He has also previously complained about being sent 'vitriol' on Twitter, adding: 'What is the point of coming on and making a rude, inflammatory introduction? The answer is, there isn't, unless you really want to cause trouble.' "

Gary Lineker:

"Jonathan, I’m the face of my own Twitter account. I’ll continue to tweet what I like and if folk disagree with me then so be it. Thank you so much for your concern, which, I imagine, wouldn’t be a concern at all if you agreed with me. 👍🏻 "
[Given what has happened since, I'd say the "wouldn't be a concern at all if you agreed with me" is right.] |
