It was rejected. As its a commercial activity, just as Gary Lineker wouldn't be found in breach for talking about Crisps, despite childhood obesity
It's not the same thing.
The BBC can't trust a live presenter who's openly choosing which rules to follow. No responsible broadcaster can.
LOL so there’s a loophole. All Garry needs to do is edit a magazine. Then he can say whatever he wants because it’s a ‘’commercial venture’?’. How was Andrew Neil allowed to be editor of Spectator magazine at all, and regularly whip up controversy around it on twitter, while he was working as a journalist for the impartial BBC? As many others have said either the rule applies to everyone or it’s pointless.
It's widely accepted that Journalists write and work for other news organisations of similar standing - so and independently regulated news magazine wouldn't raise any issues, same working for another Ofcom regulated broadcaster
