Complaint
A former footballer who was a guest on the programme was asked his opinion about Brexit.Β Identifying himself as a Remain supporter, he said βI donβt know what it was built on, leaving the EU. I think it was built on the same bigot (sic) uneducated kind of view we have on what we talked about earlier when we talked about racismβ.Β A listener complained that this breached the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔβs standards of due impartiality.
Outcome
There being no balancing view, the programme did not observe due impartiality.
Upheld
Further action
The Head of Digital & Radio Sport has reminded those involved of the need for ensuring a balancing view is put forward in such circumstances.
