The girls aren't allowed to suck their fingers anymore?

Surely most of the staff are on causal contracts so "sacked" is a meaningless term. The channel just doesnt employ them on satellite TV for a month or so. The real test would be if they were employed anywhere in the media empire in any capacity - making R18 films in Ibiza, directing private cams, running a sex shop - or if the media empire ever bought content they made off book - or if they were back on the payroll 6 months later or working for a related company. If I sack someone they stay sacked. Is it the same here?

And do you suppose Ofcom check?
