Philip Staines was fired by North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for breaching conduct rules by making several offensive remarks to colleagues. The final straw came after he nicknamed fellow fireman Jonny Metcalfe “Arthur man, half a man”, while already on written warning for inappropriate language. Staines insisted the offensive nickname was “just banter” because of Metcalfe’s short stature, and denied it was in any way a homophobic reference to his sexuality.
