The BBC’s impartiality guidelines don’t apply to Lineker. He’s a sports presenter not a political reporter, newsreader or anything similar. If you can’t see the difference between Huw Edwards making overt political statements and then interviewing the same politicians on the 10 o clock news a few hours later and Gary Lineker making political statements then having football bantz with Martin Keown a few hours later then you’re part of the problem.

Anyway it seems than Lineker has told his bosses that he’s gonna carry on saying what he thinks. Good on him.

I agree it’s good on him.

I love the BBC. Along with the NHS it’s one of Britain’s finest institutions and should be defended to the end. But frankly, I hope Lineker tells them to f**k right off now. Someone needs to stand up to the far right cabal that’s running this country. And those who enable them. I believe in 1930s Germany they’d have been called collaborators.

Speaking of the 1930s, can anyone think of an equivalent authoritarian bunch of utter murdering lying shithouses that insisted that any dissenting voices were silenced? I'm sure there was some movement or other.

For the purposes of balance it’s equally applicable to the post war Soviet Union. There. That should please everyone.

Alex Scott incoming

I hope not she annoys me lots, just can't take to her at all she just comes across as totally false, I bet if I ever met she'd be lovely and I'd change my mind, but until that happens I'll stick to my first thought :lol:

Being black and female she probably annoys a lot of people.

If Ian Hislop had said exactly the same on Have I Got News for you on the BBC nobody would have said a word.

Boris' mate who helped him get a loan and who Boris then appointed as chairman of the BBC is making sure that the BBC does whatever the government asks.

This country really stinks at the moment.

I wonder how they apply to Alan Sugar. Didn't he tweet something along the lines of 'don't vote Labour'?

That would seem far more political than Lineker's tweet, but I don't remember him being removed from the Apprentice?

Shearer has also pulled out of MOTD tomorrow

Well done Alan.

Now watch the right wingers moan about Alex Scott getting the gig. Absolutely love it

WOKEYCOKEY gone mad

 

[JackSomething]

How many other pundits will do the same I wonder? Would be genuinely hilarious if the BBC literally can't find anyone to be on the show tomorrow night.

Do we reckon Jason Mohammad would do it? Or is that a step too far even for him?

This is going to turn into an unofficial picket line hopefully. Power to the people

What a load of old pony, it was just an opinion that was blown way out of proportion.. we're entering dodgy ground now, we're turning into Russia or Iran now where the media are genuinely manipulating the masses and censoring anyone who has a following.. if it's the Govt that's nudging the BBC, someone needs to be sacked in the Conservative party

Good for him, but he's another one that gets on my tits :lol:

Lets hope that a certain "Cardiff" twat doesn't get promotion :shock:
