Re-instate Nick Girdler at BBC Radio Solent

Re-instate Nick Girdler at BBC Radio Solent

The Issue

We, the undersigned, petition the Executive Editor at BBC Radio Solent to re-instate Nick Girdler following his enforced dismissal by the BBC.  Nick was given just 10 days notice before his final programme was broadcast on Sunday 24th February  2019. This is a grossly unfair and unjust way to treat a much loved and uniquely talented presenter on Radio Solent who has demonstrated such professionalism, yet humility, to generations of  listeners.  Nick has given over 45 years of loyal service to Radio Solent.   He has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages - his listeners, guests on the programme and the many callers he has on air.  Nick has a sharp wit and a brilliantly wicked and endearing sense of humour.   He has a very loyal following of listeners for whom his Sunday morning programme is a highlight of their week.  A treasure like Nick can never be replaced!  

When signing the petition, be sure to authenticate the e-mail Change.org will straightaway send you (may go to junk mail box) or your name won’t be included – and we don’t want to lose anyone! If you receive an e-mail acknowledgement thanking you for signing the Nick Girdler petition (with picture of Nick as above) – then you’re there! Nothing more to be done – except of course to invite others to sign!
