March 11, 20232 yr Author PLUS her riling up QT audiences against Dianne Abbott and other Labour figures prior to recording! A quick reminder that the BBTory allowed ACTUAL TORY COUNCILLOR PLANTS to scream thr following, "just nuke someone, ANYBODY!" This is aggressive, authoritarian fascism, and the BBC wss just fine with it. They did not challenge the councillors, apologise or censor thr Tiry host for not chsllenging such LUDICROUS fash rage.
March 11, 20232 yr Now Sunak gets his oar in: “While that process is ongoing, it is important that we maintain perspective, particularly given the seriousness of the issue at hand. Forty-five thousand people crossed the channel illegally in the past two years, many of whom have been exploited or trafficked by criminal gangs, putting their lives in danger. “We need to break this cycle of misery once and for all and the policy we set out this week I believe aims to do just that. It is not only the fair and moral thing to do, it is also the compassionate thing to do. So the compassionate thing to do is to fly these people, many of whom have been exploited and trafficked by criminal gangs risking their lives, to far away countries that have had many issues regardng their human rights records... You just can't make this stuff up! Next election cannot come soon enough. Edited March 11, 20232 yr by Envoirment
March 11, 20232 yr Linekar deserves all he gets. His Tweets were bang out of order. What if I'd said something similar about Nazis here? It's a very sore subject. Plus he refused to answer his phone to his bosses and refused to go in and see them. Would you ignore calls from your boss? Anyone who stands by him should be fired too. I can't believe you all supporting him here. Free Speech, yes, but what he said justifies his sacking, permanently. Its not saying it about Nazis that's the issue. Nazi isn't a dirty word. See if someone is doing things THAT ARE LIKE WHAT THE NAZIS DID and you point it out... How are YOU to blame for pointing it out? If I saw someone shoot someone else with a gun and tweeted about it, am I the villain here?
March 12, 20232 yr ^Exactly. This whole situation is a 'First they came for the communists...' with regards to being banished from 'acceptable discourse', first it was the Corbynites, then it was Labour's soft left and now it's your average pundits. Lineker didn't say the Tories are Nazi Germany, he said rhetoric used was not dissimilar to that of Germany in the 1930s, with regard to othering these migrants. Which yet again is a problem being made out to be far more serious than it actually is if we had a compassionate policy. And it does bear resemblance to the early stages of minority demonisation in Germany at that time which allowed the truly heinous actions to come about without resistance from the majority population. And even if it was a one-to-one comparison, if you can never compare things that are like the Nazis to the Nazis, what is the point going through the rigmarole of 'Never Again' and historical comparisons? If you do that then you absolutely won't see it coming.
March 12, 20232 yr @1634689700404314114 I see the non-virtue signalling crowd are out in full force to get their sporting alternatives. By not virtue signalling, of course.
March 12, 20232 yr Is this the same corporation that kept Clarkson for his protesters comment and kept Ross over the Andrew Sachs phone controversy.
March 12, 20232 yr Good news! Keir Starmer (who can be very wishy washy on many issues for my liking) has come out strong for team Lineker. Pity Yvette Cooper didn’t get this message when interviewed on GMB at the start!
March 12, 20232 yr Is this the same corporation that kept Clarkson for his protesters comment and kept Ross over the Andrew Sachs phone controversy. And Sugar posting Corbyn as an actual Nazi on his twitter whilst presenting The Apprentice. The issue is that to anyone with an ounce of logic is that there is complete inconsistency and no one on the right will admit to that part (even if they think Lineker's comments were wrong). Anyway sources close to Gary are saying that he's confident situation will be resolved shortly and there's no way he's going to back down so obvs the BBC will climbdown. Let's hope for good news soon.
March 13, 20232 yr Author Bbtory Tory boss refused to answer on whether they would have tsken him off if he prsised the government!!!! :rofl: :rofl: Tells you absolutely EVERYTHING about this fetid wap of state propaganda.
March 13, 20232 yr There's so much exploding gammon around in the UK now that you can eat free in Wetherspoons all week! Edited March 13, 20232 yr by Smint
March 13, 20232 yr It was obvious they would have to back down over a clearly hypocritical stance, especially given the broad latitude noted far-right nutbag Andrew Neil was given because he „is a great interviewer“ (I personally don’t rate him much. He’s very combative and antagonistic against everyone who isn’t a Tory or neonazi)
March 13, 20232 yr And the good news keeps coming - Fiona Bruce is now stepping back from her role as a domestic violence charity. Funny that her opinion that just one broken nose (which is completely disputed by Johnson's father's partner) was fine doesn't resonate with them. Hopefully this Tory stooge is off our screens full stop before too long.
March 13, 20232 yr Author !!!!! YES!!! Ana absolute RECKONING!! The director got a SAVAGING on SkyNews, challenging his impartiality and calling him what he is - a Tory. Articles and media across the WORLD and, importantly, domestically, were savaging the BBC and its record of implicit Tory support, plus the fact that ANDREW NEILL is a thing!!!! , and truly damaged the government pripaganda arm's credibility. Most importanrly, it badly affected the beleagured BBTory's belived Tories where it hurts - the polls! They can't have that! They had to back down. https://www.bigissue.com/opinion/gary-linek...my-license-fee/
March 13, 20232 yr Fantastic to see Gary Lineker back but yet still Fiona Bruce who dressed a bit inappropriately for Crimewatch all those years ago stays as presenter on Question Time it isn't okay at all.
March 13, 20232 yr Author She needs to go. "Just a one-off"!!!! In an attempt to defsnd Blojo's dad!!!
March 13, 20232 yr BBC did have a choice; it's just they finally realised what they'd done and decided to undo their mess that they got themselves into in the first place.
March 13, 20232 yr Hopefully this is a turning of the tide and an eye opener for the media. They’ve not been playing to their audience for a long time.
