According to everyone this morning this great man of the people would defend his right of freedom of speech. He would never back down...


And here we are less than 24 hours later JC realises his principles are not worth his £2 million a year contract.

Was he right to apologise?

The BBC are sacking people on a regular basis at the moment for voicing their opinions, even those said in private, so maybe he thought he didn't have much choice.
