There needs to be a section on his extremist, hateful views
which proves again
that we should stop paying
for this hate
via the BBC & our consolidated fund What fund is being referred to? To whom is 'our' referring?
plus it eliminates his 'balance' to be in 'impartial' news in the first place.
He can have his hateful views, no problem, but we should not pay him to voice them via our national broadcaster. Don't give me that 'it was on his own time' crap either.
Kilroy wrote his views on his own time too, but he got shafted as he was not far left. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5956941/Senior-BBC-presenter-participated-anti-Trump-protests-proudly-posing-Home-sign.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.153.122 ( talk) 05:35, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
@ Shakehandsman: It is not appropriate to create an entire controversy section in a BLP based on a single opinion piece in a local paper. Besides being an example of WP:RECENTISM, it seems to be very much WP:UNDUE, given that from what I can tell, basically no one else has picked up this story other than the Daily Mail and this single piece in this local paper. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives.

Is Justin Rowlatt any relation to lawyer John Rowlatt? I know that John Rowlatt is Justin Rowlatt's great-grandfather ( Sidney Rowlatt)'s son. Does this make John Rowlatt Justin Rowlatt's grandfather or is he a great uncle? Is he worth mentioning in this article? Andysmith248 ( talk) 11:53, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
The article does not mention what subject Rowlatt studied at university. This is important in any case but particularly so because he writes substantially about scientific subjects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.39.133 ( talk) 04:21, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
