"Gardening leave"....dontcha love the innocuous sound of that one.

But at least the BBC is upfront in the intent of the investigation...to protect itself, no mention that I recall, of finding out the truth and punishing those responsible. Self-flagellation must not be a British thang.

Could this be moved to breaking news ......so other freepers logging on later can see it.

I like it much better than the 'personal reasons' or the 'to spend time with his family' boilerplate reasons. I'm going on tango leave. I'm going to go on leave and just hang out and drink some.

I wonder if that includes digging his own grave.
