3 times over the limit isn’t even close to being borderline though is it and she wouldn’t of had her kids in a car, in this particular case I personally believe it’s far worse.

I don't know mate, I'm not aware of the finer details of the KG thing. I do think JC has had his image damaged much more than KG did.

The order of severity of "crimes" has little to do with what we on here think I'm afraid.
Rightly or wrongly, many people get caught drink driving and don't lose their jobs - that's undeniable.
Probably because, although you're risking not only your life and limb but others too, if you don't crash and are just caught then the only damage you're doing is to yourself.
Using racist or sexist language, assault and the like directly involves other people.
In the eyes of many that makes it a worse offence.
Which is why KG still has her job and JC probably won't have his for long..

She was 3 times over the limit at 11:00 when breathalysed, she was on her way to collect her kids, they were not with her when she was pulled.

Agree his image is possibly damaged for good, if Sky sack him it should be because they have decided that, not the media.

People are demanding Sky sack him, like someone posted before, they need to be watertight before they do, the Gallagher case was worse for me, she was 3 times over the limit, she’s one of their high profile presenters as she not only does the news and there was no were near the fuss.

Also believe not enough questions are being asked about the driver and his motives and parenting skills.

Agree with your post.

Why was Gallagher worse? There's a greater potential for serious harm but did she actually assault anyone? But if whilst distracted he crashed into another vehicle, who has the most potential for a serious accident? Is spitting on someone more serious than DD?

What crime has the other driver committed? Second guessing on motives is making assumptions that can be a distance away from the truth... maybe it was just childish banter?

I don't agree with sacking but lets not get carried away on assumptions or flawed judgements.

Maybe, but as Beezerk said it also depends on your profile, I’m sure if it was a Sky cameraman we’d of never heard about it.

The other driver was using his phone whilst driving. So should be charged also

All of us on here can only go and what we’ve seen and read, imo, he didn’t spit at a particular individual, he spat at a car.

The dad is committing offences under the road traffic act. (Possibly Carra as well)

The conscious decision to climb into a chelsea tractor and take it on the road, possibly unsure if you’re sober enough to drive, and risk you and everyone else is far far worse in my eyes.

I’d rather be spat at than driven at by a drunk driver.
