My take on it is this. If it was banter down the pub then yeah fine - it's banter.

The difference being messrs Gray and Keys were in the workplace. Regardless of whether they were 'broadcasting' or not it doesn't matter. They were in the workplace and that sort of talk is not productive in a professional environemnt.

I know damn well if I said some of the things they said in my workplace I would be up in front of the HR department getting severe warnings. Maybe not sacked but the difference between me and them is the pay gulf. They are in a privileged position and they know it. They need to be extra careful of what they say and where.

No sympathy for either of them.
