Of course Arnull couldn’t just quietly leave if he didn’t like what he heard.
Would someone who supports him like to explain to me why these comments (presumably made at an evening for adults where the beers were flowing) are so offensive he ALSO needed to jeopardise someone’s career & make veiled threats against Derngate & Auntie.
It couldn’t possibly be political posturing could it? 🤔
Actually there were children present and the beers were not flowing. I don't support Arnull. I think I do support freedom of speech, which was also a theme of Bernie's act.
I hope that Cllr Arnull's comment "West Northamptonshire Council provides significant financial support to Royal & Derngate" doesn't indicate that he's looking for an excuse to defund the venue.
I enjoyed Bernie Keith's monologue but it was too long and too self-centred when he talked about his impending visit to Italy. He explained at the very start that his script had not been vetted. Councillor Arnull should have stayed for the awards IMHO.
I wasn't there, so can't comment on what was said, but I know Bernie Keith and I respect him as a broadcaster. Let's remember that offence is taken, not given, so Cllr Arnull was free to leave if he didn't like what he heard; but that doesn't negate Bernie's right to speak. Leave him alone.
Cllr Arnull appears to say "Freedom of Speech" apply to him but no-one else. As a Councillor he must have encountered opposition to his view. These opinions would not always be expressed in the mildest manner. Also, a quality required for a Councillor is to be "Tolerant" of others people view. Evidently, in my opinion he is lacking considerably. Maybe he should consider a different career.

Cllr Arnull seems to be very thin skin. It would appeared that it is "Freedom of speech" for Reform, but not for anybody else. Also, I would have thought that being a Councillor would require "Tolerance" something that being British is part of your DNA. I have to conclude from all what I have read that he is lacking considerably the "British sence of humour" which is well known internationally.

I don't remember which year it was but at a past awards ceremony they had their sports presenter Graham McKechnie host the ceremony with Annabel Amos instead of Bernie Keith as some people very high up in the BBC were attending and Bernie Keith couldn't be trusted to behave and not say anything inappropriate so he does have form for this.

Yes, something to watch.
The interesting line is his comment about the public calling to defund the BBC of course…

A friend who was in attendance suggested that Mr A "flounced" rather dramatically.

What is wrong with the duplication of my messages?
