Rule 2.1Generally Accepted Standards
Rule 2.3 Context and Information - Offensive Language, Discriminatory Language
This matter is bigger than any rule breach though hence the panic from GBN and Wootton; there is a massive risk they won't be left with any advertisers after last night's sh8t show.
Being considered by a majority as "too far on the right" is sufficient for some advertisers to not buy airtime but many don't care. Broadcasting something like that is a different kettle of fish. No one wants their brand to be associated with that.
