A BBC presenter has been slammed for saying we 'shouldn't give in to the weather' despite Storm Eunice causing travel chaos in a rare red warning for the UK.
Scottish born Neil Oliver, shared a tweet from his personal account which attracted backlash because it goes against the Met Office advice 'red weather warning' which is being reported by the BBC.
The tweet reads: ''I see the weather is the latest thing we're being advised to give in to without so much as a sigh.''
Neil has worked on several BBC historical and archaeological series and is now a presenter on GB News.
But commenting in a mocking his comments one poster shared a video clip of a tree blowing over captioning the sight: "Yep. Just look at that tree. Weak. Just gave in to the storm."
Another shared shots of a church steeple waving precariously in the wind before falling from the top. They captioned it: "Hi Neil, have you seen this?"
Neil also shared a shot of George Galloway praising his attitude he posted: "That's the spirit!''
The post reads: "We’re out and about Eunice. Because we live in Britain. Because we have children to take to school, business to attend to, work to do. And because our parents faced the Blitz. #Backbone #StormEunice"
But Neil's post comes as millions of Brits have been warned to stay at home with wind speeds of 122mph at Needles on the Isle of Wight today.
And in the capital London's O2 Arena has been hit by the storm with a significant chunk of the O2 Arena’s white covering, made of a material known as SHEERFILL, removed.
The venue is due to have British rapper Dave perform in front of thousands in three days time, followed by UB40.
Videos taken inside the popular music venue, showed the large hole created in its roof as the remaining covering billowed in the wind.
Weather presenter Lucy Verasamy added: "The #O2 ripped apart - built for the millennium, clearly the strongest winds in the capital for over 20 years."
