You’d have thought given the circumstances, someone might have thought this wasn’t the best choice of programming to replace the sport.
That the BBC is happy to have someone known for publicly expressing anti-semitic conspiracy theories appearing on air when they’ve just taken a presenter off air for expressing criticism of the Tory government, doesn’t help their case for impartiality, and plays right into the hands of their critics.
And before anyone says it, yes I know Coast was made years before Oliver started spouting his nonsense, and it’s not a live programme, and he’s not paid as much as Lineker. But still, it’s not a good look right at this moment in time.
