Context is key | Sacking of BBC presenter who called colleagues 'C-words' puts spotlight on swearing policies

A BBC radio presenter was sacked after using swear words to describe two colleagues, a tribunal has heard.

BBC Radio Suffolk presenter James Hazell was judged to have breached his contract by using the C-word to refer to two female co-workers with whom he had "increasingly strained relationships", according to editor Peter Cook, who gave evidence to an employment tribunal.
