Oliver presented his last series for the BBC - if Google has served me well - for BBC Scotland in 2018. It wasn't until three years later until he joined GB News and started sharing his political opinions.
Normal people sitting at home watching the telly aren't delving into every detail of things, actively trying to unearth hidden links and inconsistencies like people are on here.
The conversation will have gone like this:
"I see there's no sport on BBC Two today."
"Ah. What's on instead?"
"That one where they travel around and look at the coastline."
"Ah. I like that." [or] "Ah, let's see what's on the other side."
Bet most of the people watching BBC Two this afternoon don't even know Neil Oliver is on GB News at all. (Aren't we constantly told that nobody takes GB News seriously, and that nobody watches it?)
It's really not a big deal.
