ITV News presenter Alastair Stewart is stepping down from his role following what ITN called "errors of judgment in Alastair's use of social media" (basically something he said on Twitter)

I can't understand why anyone in the public eye bothers with social media. One slip of the tongue, moment of anger or an "Edgy" post after a few sherbets and you're toast.

IIRC he was a newsreader and, while employed in that capacity, was convicted for DD - on a reading well over limit. His role in Road Wars was intended to be a sort of mea culpa outlet. But then he got caught again.
There may have been a sherbert addiction issue....

I got caught once, Once is enough for most sensible peeps; And as for being stupid a third time? (albeit in a different way but similar context)

>> Was he caught three times? That is indeed dumb.

>> Twice 20 years apart just seems ordinary, run of the mill, stupid.
No I mean, a third PR mistake, two DD and once silly Social media gaff. It shows a distinct lack of awareness of your public position. Specially when all you have is a public position.

Police, Camera, Action was the series he presented. He did come across as a sanctimonious prat with his "And the naughty boy got his just deserts from the boys in blue" attitude. It caused great merriment when he got his DD convictions.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Stewart, in fact I think he's even dumber than I first thought. Given his accusers previous tweets it was only going to go one way.

We may have to disagree over existence of white (or for that matter male) privilege. Neither can I equate the cheesecake analogy with racism. In fact as a description certain mono-cultural and moneyed outfits I rather like it.
