I can see why you're upset Tim.

Ultimately Dyke was the man responsible for The Office.

RIP.

No Gerbills was the twat responsible for the office, and no i'm not upset about dyke he is responsible for the dumbing down of the BBC. He was after all responsible for Roland Rat, he gets all he deserves. But the BBC is being attacked by sleezy politicians too hide their own guilt, now that I don't like.

'breaking news' on the sites, wires, etc

'bbc denying dyke was sacked' more soon....

I would expect it to come back that GD resigned after a vote of no confidence by the board.

Its a was he pushed or did he jump case, often a bit of both.

Marvin, you are basically repeating word for word what ITV reported. Feel free to form your own opinion.

As I have not heard the report that would be hard , I prefer BBC news.

One of the BBC's smallest radio stations went off the air on Thursday as staff decided to make their own protest at the resignation of Greg Dyke.
It was agreed that Somerset Sound's Adam Thomas Afternoon Show would finish a minute early and end on silence as a protest at both Mr Dyke's departure and Lord Ryder's unreserved apology.

Many listeners emailed in their support of the action.

Assistant Editor Simon Clifford said: "Staff said they felt flat, deflated, shellshocked and wanted to make their point.

"We may be a small station and it may have been a small protest but it was heartfelt."

The station is one of the smallest of the local BBC radio outlets with just nine staff.

"We took a carefully thought-out protest designed to make a point while having minimal impact on the licence-fee payer," Mr Clifford said.

"Staff were upset and saw this as a way to make a protest. We immediately received messages of support from the public."

You're just a bitter twisted old man.

Roland Rat was genius.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah rat fans!

You're just a bitter twisted old man.

Can't argue with that.

Greg Dyke offered his resignation, hoping the governors would reject it. The governors voted on whether they should reject it. They decided to accept it, so he left.

That's what happened.

Fact.

Rumours based upon an internal BBC email to staff (which I've seen) which states he didn't want to leave. Thats what ITV picked up on. Just because he didn't want to go (of course he didn't) doesn't mean he was sacked.

Interesting poll during Question Time - 86% thought he was wrong to go.

Good, Dyke had the last word on whether liar Gilligans report could go out, Dyke had full editorial control and whether or not he is a nice bloke he deserved to go. The BBC have acted disgracefully over the whole WMD issue.

Blair is no angel, but the shit he got from some of the media was way over the top, even for the UK press.
