One thing I will say is that when I heard Maitlis's opening, I remarked on it to my wife as very unusual, and rewound it so that she could hear it. As it was that unusual, it doesn't surprise me that it broke guidelines. I'm sure with only a bit of editing it would have passed, but for me that fact that it stuck out, leads me to believe that the criticism is valid.
In other news, in the days when I used to stand in crowds at matches, I very often found myself alone while all my fellow supporters were screaming for what I thought were ludicrous penaltiy claims. Often I feel just as alone with political debate.
