What permanently? She said on her Twitter feed she asked for the night off that’s all

And ironically that’s what many on the right want you to do. They see the licence fee as some kind of “Byzantine tax” Cameron started this purge in the bbc by introducing Tory shills to the BBC management board. And with Munchetty incident and now Maitlis you are witnessing the fruits of this change.

I voted for Sheena Shah actually. As I explained on the other thread.
Isn't this exactly what Evil was complaining about? You've kind of stepped on his point.

BBC said Maitlis "did not meet the required standards of due impartiality " before they decided to go with her asking for a night off.
Whenever have the BBC been impartial- they are worried that they may have stirred Boris Johnson into decriminalising the offence of not paying the licence fee and thus virtually forcing the BBC to go it alone.

Btw having finally opened this post I was amazed (after Googling) to discover who Emily Maitlis was - I'm terrible with celeb names!

BBC said that Newsnight did not meet their standards of due impartiality, not Maitlis. People are allowed time off work too, it's not slavery.

Did you actually see it? The BBC is supposed to be an impartial broadcaster?

Yes. What was wrong with what she said?
The only lack of impartiality was the BBC jumping to Cummings tune and condemning their employee for speaking the truth.

It was a very fast review and conclusion for the BBC.
This kind a f thing would normally take at least many weeks before coming to a conclusion.
Suppose it’s a double edged sword - they have their act together or are quite worried about government policy to reduce their income.
