Victoria thanked all the viewers for their messages for Justin at the end of the programme tonight and said they would all be passed on. Poor girl was visibly upset by the situation.

I noticed she has set her twitter profile to private though.
Wow just watched her closing of tonight’s programme. I haven’t seen a close like that since Annabel Tiffin closing on NWT on the day they announced Dianne’s death. Such a shame the powers that be thought it was a good idea to rip regional news families apart.

They're going to be as dull as BBC London's bulletin at this rate.

Good grief. Talk about self-indulgence at a time when many of their viewers are finding themselves out of work with probably nothing like the pay-off.

I think she’d had a few nasty messages from some viewers who thought she didn’t care that Justin was leaving and asking why she hadn’t recorded a message for him (she was away on holiday last week).

No ill feelings at all, but many folk are in dire trouble now, with no Final Salary style pension schemes to fall back on. For many the 'wrong side of 50' they'd give a limb to be someone being gently encouraged to leave a public sector employer. Media types do have a tendancy to exist within a bubble at times

You can't stop natural emotions though (and the tears looked very natural) - you make a good point, but no matter your situation you're likely to find it sad when a colleague is essentially forced to leave.
So sad to see such an icon of bbc spotlight southwest has been cut. I met him for the first time today and wow what a lovely man he is. I wished him Good luck for the future. My sons girlfriend is just starting out in media and hopefully her career (ideally Station Manager) will be as long and wonderful as Justin’s had been.
