It's a bold election strategy Cotton. Lets see if it pays off for em. The Attenborough story is fake news. Not on the BBC website yet ... therefore not true yet.

They've not pulled an episode, it's a completely separate peice of work, produced and funded by someone else that they've just bought the right to play on IPlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punitive action against opponents of the government is maintaining political impartiality. Attacking those against the government is wokeist cancel culture. You'll receive papers for your invitation to a ministry of truth education camp. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, this also ocurred to me earlier today... 1930s, not 1940s, she's twisted his words. And if the tories allowed refugees to enter the UK by safe, legal means more then there would be less trying to enter via unsafe, illegal means. I think that is the main way, the best way, to tackle the problem, alongside increasing efforts to catch and prosecute the owners, organisers and pilots of these small boat crossings. As Lineker rightly pointed out, we take less refugees than other countries in Western Europe, it's true... if it was just a little less I could understand (as we're not as wealthy as Germany and France for example) but it's actually a lot less.

OutByEaster? Posted March 10, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 10, 2023 The BBC are running one of their "lives" on this - a string of text pieces on the story with different perspectives and statements. They've removed the thumbs up or thumbs down voting icons that traditionally accompany all of their "lives". Public opinion cannot be allowed to be heard over the noise of people excusing the excesses of the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Nice to see Wright'y standing by his China. Always admired Lineker for his common decency. All we need now, for the plot to thicken, is the Beeb to give the job to that Hun, Le Tissier. Edited March 11, 2023 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 10, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 10, 2023 Well done Alan. Now it's a thing - you'd have to be a moron to go on now. I'm kinda hoping they'll force Gabby Logan to do it - but only because the Scab-by Logan headlines write themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as much as I think drawing comparisons with the Nazis is rarely wise, there is this weird thing going on at the moment where Nazism is presented purely as a movement against Judaism - rather than a set of violent nationalist, anti-liberal views of which antisemitism was the worst feature, but not the only feature. Of course Braverman isn’t about to deliver Holocaust 2.0. But a lot of the paranoia, othering, anti-liberal, anti-cosmopolitan language and targeting of political opponents, winding back of human rights laws, etc… come on, it’s not “offensive to Jews” to say this is far right. I think a lot of Poles, French, Czechs, Danes, etc would be slightly bemused by the idea that Jewish people are the sole arbiters of what is a legitimate comparison with Nazi Germany. And as others have said, the idea Lineker is doing anything particularly unusual here, when Andrew Neill, Geoff Boycott, and many others have combined BBC presenting roles with (shock horror) personal political views expressed via other channels. A big bunch of **** bollocks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2023 And now Match of the Day, hosted this week by... the guy who ended up on BBC News by accident, and he's joined by Vaclav Drobny and the ghost of Jimmy Saville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted March 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2023 I can see MotD being cancelled altogether tomorrow night, or maybe even just show the highlights without presenters whilst they use next week to 'sort' all this out and back down.

Not sure they can pull a show just like that. They would of bought a rights package from the premier league. Now, i don’t know if it’s at their own discretion when they put on a show or not once money is paid to the PL. Don’t know - not showing match of the day is a big thing. They’ve never not shown it ( excluding when they lost rights for a few years ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
