If that’s insanity we really are in the last days of Rome.
To add we had the previous incident where studio staff were on the source monitor in Washington I think, behind a presenter in the newsroom. On that occasion I don’t think anything should have happened apart from a reminder to not do it, as I said at the time. But as the presenter on this occasion crossed a line even inadvertently, to maintain a standard there must be a response in my mind so that it’s clear there is a standard being maintained.
