The memo says: “We have just been made aware of several recent instances of homophobic remarks being made on the studio floor.
“We are sure the vast majority of people working on Coronation Street find such behaviour unacceptable.
“But we’d like to make it absolutely clear that this is completely unacceptable. ITV has a bullying and harassment policy which clearly states that such behaviour may lead to disciplinary proceedings.”
I really can't see why this is front-page news.

Yes, that is bad.
Is there a company in Britain that doesn't put up such warnings about bigoted and aggressive behaviour?
Good for them.
