Jerome Ousted?

[A Quinn Martin Production]

I have to say I am pleased to see this pompous idiot got what he deserved from this tribunal, this man is so full of his own importance & he got what he deserved for biting the hand that was feeding him.

Nail on head ... the hubris of a man who chose to represent himself (I assume any barristers he approached told him the case was unwinnable) against the BBC, which probably has its own stable of top legal brains paid for by the licence fee, is shocking

According to the judgement from 6th May he was represented by P Moore of PM Associates.  Anyone know who this is??

[AZOffaly]

PM Associates? Is that Personal Messages from the Board?

Juding from the outcome of the case, probably...

He organised a campaign against his employers from his work computer ffs. How thick is that?

About the same as a soccer fan purporting to be a GAA supporter.

This old chestnut. Because I have a slightly different opinion to the mob, I can't be a real Gael?

Grow up.

I'm annoyed by the fact that the Tribunal thought it was acceptable for Jerome to be slapped on the wrist for referring to "the north" and not Northern Ireland when a hell of a lot of nationalists do the same.

'Disingenuous'

The tribunal said: "We assessed the claimant to have been disingenuous at various points in his evidence."

Mr Quinn was not available for comment on Tuesday.

What does Disingenuous mean??

It is a word for those who cant use Google.

Muppet, a question please kind and knowledgble one from one who can't use Google. 
If you have consulted with Mr Google please tell us what does Disingenuous mean??

PS: Some advice; Google is for muppets, don't ask google ask me instead .  Muppet is a super handle.

Yes, but not people who support the NI soccer team. That would be akin to someone referring to Londonderry in relation to the Derry GAA team, just because 'a hell of a lot of unionists do the same'. Would you not be annoyed by that?

For the poster who asked what disingenuous meant, I'd assume they were referring to the likes of this:
We regard it as incredible for the claimant to assert before us that he had no idea that the use of the phrase "the North" to refer to the Northern Ireland soccer team, had the potential to cause offence to one section of the community in Northern Ireland and the claimant's persistence on this point tainted his credibility for us.  We simply do not accept that the claimant was unaware of the sensitive, political connotations of that term in that context.

No it wouldn't bother me - unionists call derry londonderry and we have to accept that.
The only way we're going to be able to get on with things in the north is to accept the differences between the two communities not try to bully someone in to your way of thinking.

Jerome bad mouthed the BBC on the internet from a BBC computer while working for the BBC.

Jerome got fired, then Jerome complained it wasn't fair he got fired because he was a Taig doing GAA stuff

Jerome lost
