I was blocked by the OP who is keen to claim that Davie went because of a RW conspiracy.

Spot on
Davie and Tirness should have been sacked for using Hamas operatives to make a documentary and being vehemently anti women. Trump has nothing to do with it, pathetic excuse. They know what they’ve done wrong. It’s got naff all to do with the far right and you’re very stupid if you think it is.

Spot on
BBC bosses needed to go for allowing our respected national broadcaster to become a mouthpiece for Hamas and its clear bias against women. Trump is a footnote.

Ahh, I see it's not enough for somebody to be a terrible person, as James Watson mostly was, but that also has to mean his scientific achievements should be rubbished. But they shouldn't, he made important contributions, often in the public good.
