I hope that surly Kay Burley now fully understands that people are fallible and will cut them a bit of slack in future interviews.
What goes round, generally comes round.

Didn't see that - what happened?

She broke coronavirus lockdown rules after her 60th birthday bash. Oh dear!!!!

Oh - nothing serious then

The remedy is simple - sack her, no ifs or buts but straight out, do not pass go, do not collect whatever is outstanding on your contract.

We need to get tough with anyone and everyone who breaks the rules/laws - only by doing that will we ever stand a chance of getting over this.

[Onelife]

I’m sick to the back teeth with people such as her flaunting the rules…sack the bitch witch

P.s Sorry David I didn't see your post before posting mine.

Considering what the sanctimonious little ***** said about Cummings at every available opportunity she should be offering her resignation. If you live by the sword you die by the sword. And the bonus is Beth Rigby was reportedly there as well!!!

Whooped, I do hope Boris or JVT get to ask her about that at the next downing street briefing.

Oh my God.

Cummings broke the rules (before you all start, yes he did). He was instrumental in making the rules, he never apologised and Johnson lost any moral authority he had by backing him.

For the last 8 months you’ve all been desperately trying to brush this off as nothing, yet, when some news presenter breaks the rules you are like a pack of hounds baying for her to be sacked.

Unbelievable....... but not unexpected

[screwy]

Your response is not unexpected either.

[Manoverboard]

Cummings made a mistake, let us all agree, but after him anybody else that follows suit should be sacked .... it's standard rules

[david63]

I thought Cummings had been sacked albeit later than he should have been

[Mervyn and Trish]

The government made the rules. Not Cummings. The media were baying for his blood. The police investigated and concluded his journey to Durham didn't break the rules and that his ill advised trip to Barnard Castle was a minor breach that would have not have incurred a fine but would have resulted in him being advised to go home. The media, including Sky continued to bay for his blood. Now one of their number breaks the law. Will her colleagues now bay for her blood?

[oldbluefox]

Can't believe anybody would jump to the defence of these first class hypocrites. Not surprised though.

Well they said Cummings escapade would result in everyone breaking the rules. I managed to resist. But I'm having a bl**dy party now! If it's good enough for her and Rita Ora.

She's probably more embarrassed that everyone now knows she's 60!

Ah but Rita Ora is allegedly donating her six figure fee to charity - so that makes it alright.

I wouldn't like to see her or anyone else sacked.
People make mistakes.

But, I do hope that she reflects on her behaviour and is a bit more sympathetic when others transgress.

Her aggressive interviewing style and snide comments leaves a lot to be desired.

One thing is for sure, she will never have the moral high ground on this issue again.

Well if it's the sanctimonious duo of Burley and Rigby we'll all be having a party. They always know better than Boris and think they have all the answers so I'm with them.

OL might but I wouldn't bet on it.
There are people who are never wrong and are brazen enough to find an excuse from somewhere for anything. It puts Sky's reporting on very dodgy ground when they try to take the high moral ground.
Not that I'm biased against the self obsessed little &£?*$s.

If that's directed to me, I haven't jumped to anybody's defence.

My comments were about the reaction of people on this forum.

Why would she be embarrassed. She looks very good for her age.

[Gill W]

As a general comment -if Burley had done what Cummings did..... people on this forum would have spontaneously combusted

[Gill W]

Your response is not unexpected either.

I'm glad you realise that I will call out hypocrisy when I see it

Do you really think so OBF Kay Burley is a smart lady and is now one of the top media journalists. She did not have the silver spoon entry the profession demands these days, coming from an ordinary family and attending state school. Sky are far from fools and she would not have gained such prominence if she was not so competent. This will soon be yesterdays news, and Ms Burley, continue asking the questions we would wish to ask

[screwy]

So you will call out Burley and Rigby.?

[Gill W]

So you will call out Burley and Rigby.?

If that's addressed to me - they broke the rules. They shouldn't break the rules.

All people who break the rules should get fined including Burley and Rigby.

The problem is that people who break the rules don't get fined often enough, but unfortunately there isn't enough manpower to do this.
