I would personally sack them and put them to work.

It's as simple as that.
Why couldn't they have issued a statement saying the management disagrees with Mr Binns? (maybe because they wouldn't be able to explain why they disagree - it's v hard to come up with a good argument for the monarchy). Dismissing him sets a very dangerous precedent. In a democracy you have to be able to criticise. Shame on BRMB.

It would seem that Binns has committed nothing more than 'indirect verbal treason.' To sack someone based on this is appauling and it undermines our progress as a collective free-thinking society.

Binns had the freedom to say what he did, the listeners had the freedom to choose whether to listen to him.
