If it is allowed then that is a good thing. The one view point only which seems to be adopted in the mainstream channels regarding subjects is very sterile at times.
Alternative view: it very publicly reinforces the impression there’s a tug-of-war going on between the regional reporters who signed up for GBN believing they were going to be given full-throated support to tell stories from their communities, and the London presenters who have a clear agenda to push.
It also just looks highly unprofessional - and while you might think the tweets of BBC or Sky journalists are anodyne, at least they don’t undermine the reputation of their respective employers by going at it like rats in a sack.
No it just accepts that people have opinions and to pretend a whole company all think alike isn't healthy. If the major players were serious about this (a broadcasting having one view and all obeying it), they would stop a certain well known presenter who presents sports and others like them. They haven't.
Said individual doesn’t work in news, so isn’t bound by the same impartiality requirements as the BBC’s journalists. The BBC has gone on the record about this more than once, and undoubtedly you already know this - but you’re entitled to your view, and I mine.
