Except that Malcolm Tucker would have ensured that none of it hit the press. Ever.

But what is clear, is that it was handled badly by the FA.

They, and every other employers, have to understand that some employees cannot tell the difference between "poor attempts at jokes and banter" and real racism, sexism and any other type of 'ism. So when an allegation is made, it must be dealt with properly, no matter how trivial the offence appears to be. Because, as sure as eggs are eggs, there will be hell to pay if you don't.

Offers to pay for silence just makes things worse, and even £40,000 and £80,000 is not sufficient to silence a bitter employee who is determined to make a noise, even after a mere "poor joke". It would need to be far more than that.

Lessons to be learnt for everyone. Including, don't attempt a joke about almost anything, and certainly don't defend one. It isn't worth it, you'll end up on the tele giving evidence in front of some Parliamentary committee, and probably lose your job.

Some might call her bitter and twisted. Others might call her a hero for sticking up for what she believes is right.
