Apparently work-shy facist Farage is taking a break now too (London Economic).

Like rats fleeing a sinking ship...

Is he looking to set up a Ministry of Funny Wokes?

Steve, my man. I have tea on my screen.

Has he got ANOTHER divorce to finance!?

Meanwhile, here's Stewart Lee:

'Angry with the BBC’s imaginary woke bias and feeling undervalued in his small hours niche, the Steel Wool Sinéad O’Connor flounced off to be the figurehead of the avowedly anti-woke new channel GB News. Neil’s theatrical exit has turned out to be the equivalent of a man storming indignantly out of a dinner party through a door into a broom cupboard. Right now, having been absent for two months, while his station is remoulded around the eminently less qualified but infinitely more commercial Nigel Farage and a gaggle of clickbait-harvesting lockdown sceptics and Fox News-style fantasists, Neil is waiting in the broom cupboard amid the mops and Domestos bottles. The Accordion Potato hopes that when the dinner party ends and the other guests go home, he can creep out unnoticed to minimise his humiliation, dusting himself down nonchalantly with the air of a man who had intended to spend two months in a broom cupboard all along, actually, so there.'

Neil is 72. He has a reported Net Worth of about £100m. A Swedish wife 22 years younger than himself, who is also an engineer.
I doubt he cares too much.

Oh, I think he probably does. People in his position have a very high opinion of themselves. To have it pointed out that not everybody shares that view will smart.

 

[Tony L]

Indeed. He’ll want to go down as a respected broadcaster and broadsheet editor, but now he’ll be recorded as a contemporary of the far-right’s Nigel Farage and InfoWars Alex Jones. Quite the fall from the Sunday Times and BBC. It’s hard to think of a greater career decline aside from Morrissey.

Heaven hopes they’re both miserable now

[Jim Audiomisc]

I wonder if what has happened has brought a smile to a few faces inside the BBC.

Patrick Chrisys is on To the Point this morning. The biggest concern in his inbox is immigration.

Switch over to LBC Radio and James O'Brian is reckoning the problem we have here is not enough people.

Gaw' blimey. The country's gorn mad!

Oh yes. Humiliation and wounded ego is what such people find hardest to bear.

Who he?
