I understand why he was sacked but seems to be a bit of a joke that they can sack him for that when the got Galloway saying who he supports what he wants doing etc every week.
You can state your political views on TV and radio as much as you like, although on TV the broadcaster is compelled to show some balance in its broadcasting overall. However, there are specific rules governing what you can say in the period immediately before an election, when you CANNOT advise people who to vote for. All broadcasters are aware of these rules and he deliberately broke it. So he got sacked.
And he's a gobby, unfunny, reactionary, beardy twat....
