I complained as well about it. He tweeted from a PR event to mark the rags' commercial partnership with Tag Heuer, and the branding was very prominent. There was no news interest in him being there and someone in the PR world told me that, to get an invite, you would have to agree to promote the brand.

A day or two later, they announced their financial results, which was covered by the BBC Business correspondent. Attached too house report was one from Simple Simon, which again publicised these special edition watches and even reporting the price. It was blatant advertising and completely against the BBC Editorial code. Yet the BBC claimed there was legitimate public interest in this story.

They must have been fully aware of the conditions under which Stone had attended the PR event, as Ian Cheeseman told me her had to get permission to attend they launch of City's Xmas jumpers. He got permission but then he was hayled over the coals by his then bosses at the BBC for publicising it. Even though they knew what it was and had agreed to him attending.

Wow. I knew he was a gobshite but to be that blatant about it takes some brass neck. And, of course, a compliant management

They must have been fully aware of the conditions under which Stone had attended the PR event, as Ian Cheeseman told me he had to get permission to attend the launch of City's Xmas jumpers, as it was a commercial event. It was given but then he was hauled over the coals by his then bosses at the BBC for publicising it. Even though they knew what it was and had agreed to him attending.

I remember this did he give it back ??

"Cavani shouldn't be banned for sending a social media message using a racial slur because it's to a mate." Talkshite.

Wow, have they really said that?
As much as that has fucked me off it hasn't surprised me in the slightest.
I think sky sports have forgot about it.
