Virtue signalling. Well I’m proud to be sacked for any opposition I may express to racism and hate
New BBC social media guidelines published, inc:
- Ban on 'virtue signalling... no matter how apparently worthy the cause'
- Journalists must use all personal accounts as if they are BBC output
- No more breaking stories on personal accounts
- No criticising colleagues

The newspaper industry is in massive trouble. Ad spend has plummeted and many journalists are being ‘furloughed’ or just fired. Reporting is vital in our society - arguably now more than ever. If you’re passing a shop on your walk today, please #buyapaper

The bank scammers are incredibly smart. They nearly took thousands off one of my friends earlier today, so do read this account she wrote, and pass it on.

So we will continue #tomorrowspaperstoday as the poll reveals it’s much valued. But people need to understand that we don’t get paid, don’t have legal insurance and we do this for fun and giggles. When that ceases so shall we.

I'd like to apologise for earlier tweets (now deleted) responding to Gary Lineker. I should have shown more consideration to a BBC colleague - as per the BBC’s social media guidelines.
