ExclusiveThe British Broadcasting Corporation won the first round of a legal battle with an absolute radio presenter, but it did not succeed in efforts to stop publishing an internal review separating homosexual phobia in one of the regional sites of the broadcaster.
BBC Cornwall Jack Moreley has taken a legal action against the employer to dismiss an illegal dismissal last year. In the first part of his recruitment court, Morley argued that the BBC had distinguished against him because he was anomalous and representative of the National Federation of Journalists (NUJ).
The BBC has argued that Murley has broke the rules of social media with tweets that failed to be neutral about local radio drainage cuts that are less than the standards of taste and fitness. The BBC also argued that Murley has violated the editing rules by discussing job cuts on the air and making sexual jokes during a clip on Sunday afternoon, entitled “More Owings”.
The recruitment judge was not persuaded by Murley's arguments and the first round of his case was rejected. The second part of the court, scheduled for October, will deal with the events surrounding it.
In his rule, Judge SMAIL concluded that the BBC “did not seek to prevent” Morley from participating in trade union activities and agreed that the presenter broke the rules of social media through his campaign against local radio job discounts. Judge SMAIL also concluded that the disciplinary measures that the BBC against Morley was “not associated with his sex.”
In a statement, BBC said: “We do not comment on individuals. We welcome the court ruling and we will not comment more.”
Morley told the deadline: “With the court ruling clarifying, the second part of my demand against BBC later this year will be considered. As such, it will not be right to comment more at this stage. I would like to thank Nuj and my legal team for their continuous support and hard work, and the audience on their kind words and the best wishes.
Gay
As part of the legal procedures, the British Broadcasting Corporation has failed in its efforts to stop spreading an internal investigation into the allegations of homosexuality on the BBC Cornwal Radio. Morley presented a report on the violations accusing colleagues of abuse of gay and claiming that the administration has failed to protect it. The July 2024 report was revealed, although the BBC argued that it was not related.
The investigation was partially supported by a claim that “failures at the administrative and institutional level on the BBC Cornewall Radio created an environment in which they were tolerated with homosexuality implicit or explicitly.” In his final submission to the court, the BBC admitted that the report had detailed the “unfortunate treatment” of Morley, but he argued that he was not evidence that managers had dealt with him “less positive” because of his sexual life.
Judge SMAIL's ruling contained more details about the report, which consists of 12 allegations made by Morley. The BBC investigators concluded that there is an “case of answer” on eight of Moreli's 12 claims.
One of the claims with a case to respond to the detail of how a Cornwall radio employee was installed on the wall kitchen wall A. Scenery An article was gay gay by managers and removed later. The title “Control of Fall” in the right -wing magazine topped the title: “Does the Soviet self -censorship come to Britain?”
It was written by one of the Estonians moved to the United Kingdom after living during the fall of the Soviet rule, and claimed that the laws of LGBTQ+ law may restrict freedom of expression in the same way that the Soviet Union suffocated human freedoms. It has ended with the calligraphy: “So I find myself facing a dilemma: if I pack all our property and move, and perhaps return to Eastern Europe – to the free east, where I do not have to sing to red Rainbow flags. Or correct my speech to avoid discovering it KGB Allies across. “
Among the other allegations that the BBC investigators considered, Moreli's claims included that a introduction submitted a “homosexual phobia” in the office and made the camera player “gay” statements about LGBT and blood donation.
During the publication of these details, Judge SMAIL eventually decided that the report was only “the interest of the background” and was not related to the first part of the Employment Court. The BBC's pluscinemaz.comasked a series of questions about the violations report, including whether the mistakes accused had confronted disciplinary action. A spokesman for the comment refused.

The disclosure of the report comes at a time when the BBC conducts a review of the workplace culture and the employees are interrogated about their experiences in committing violations or violations of the authority. The work is driven by Associats Change Consultance Consultance and is expected to conclude this year.
