    Primarily they tend to be Labour activists with a misguided sense of equality
    Just to be clear, they try to control how the public fits into their narrative
    …and no, in case you try to regurgitate a standard response I will politely decline to name or quote any specific examples of who these people are.
    Let’s just say they are People I am acquainted with who have that type of outlook and are first to impress what I should think and do

    Only the people who have an issue with Keegan's comments are probably " the easily offended brigade " , the majority of whom live in a fantasy world .

    And in your opinion, if a TV company decide to end the contract of one of their employees who has said something to incur the wrath of the wokerati, who do you think makes that decision and, ultimately, what is likely to be the reason for their decision at root? Just interested in the thinking behind people who have this opinion.
    Flour explained it perfectly.
    I will add though the TV company’s are more interested in tick box exercises than what they actually think they should do. No I have no evidence of this but I would think anyone with common sense could see this.

    So, a tv company, a commercial enterprise that depends on creating profits for shareholders from viewers and advertisers, is going against it's own commercial interests by sacking their values presenters because some left wing extremists who cannot be named it highlighted for some reason, but very much exists, are throwing a hissy fit?

    Are you sure? Maybe I don't live in the real world but the one I live in would see executives of companies tell a few sandal wearing nut jobs to go **** emselves if it meant their profits would be affected.

    However, I think it is fair to say that if there is a wider public backlash against a presenter, and it negatively affected their public profile, and enough people complained to the extent that advertisers started withdrawing, then I think they would most certainly act and sack/cancel said presenter. I know I would. I would want to make money. Probably a bit more boring than your interpretation but for what it's worth I don't think what Keegan said is enough to provoke such outrage.

    100%. These control freaks represent a very small fraction of the population but get a global platform to implement their wokism.We should all be very aware of what is happening.
