The BBC | Tim Davie resigns as Director General over Trump documentary edit (p 187)

Nothing sad about Eccles or her views she is one of the nicest people on here and is always polite maybe try it...

Have you heard of the word 'simp'?

will any freelancer ever sign up for the BBC again if they expect to be able to control your social media out put? Is that level of control worth it? There are plenty of other channels out there

He didn't compare the Tories to the Nazi's. He said the language being used in the introduction of this immigration policy is similar to language used in 1930's Germany.

Was the language being used, being used by a tory?

Fuck me, satire is dead.

Get Vincent Kompany to do it. He'll hopefully be City manager in the next five years and probably has to watch hundreds of hours of highlights for talent spotting purposes. He lives in Manchester where its filmed and he may as well get paid while he's watching/working anyway. Motd could do with a facelift. Get some new young blood in. Vincent has just done a cracking interview on the BBC iplayer.

Kompany has far too much integrity to even consider it.

Apparently from a journalist at the BBC.

To be fair, one should only be speaking on social issues if they have been involved in them at the highest level.

Agree. We should all know our place ;)

Lineker can't say the same. That's the point. He's been warned plenty of times re his Twitter.

A Holocaust survivor has experience and gravitas on the subject.

Lineker has neither.

See this is the problem, if you actually read and think about what he said you will realise it references the type of language used in 30's Germany and compares to this shitshow of a government we have, he didn't directly compare the Holocaust. Have a think before you type eh.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Problem solved....

Good lad, Micah. The BBC have handled this appallingly.

It's the government mate. I understand your position on here so I am happy to advocate who made the decision.

Whoever does it is going to be criticised/hated universally. Why would you want that to be Vinnie?

 

[blue cigar]

Wonder which scab will do motd? The BBC have highlighted the racist Tory government and embarrassed them by their stance, I think it's great how linekar has triggered so many right wing gammons, including on this forum.

Good work, Gary. This could be the lifeline golf needed on the beeb.

Good lad, Micah. The BBC have handled this appallingly.

Micah was already up there but all the other presenters and pundits have gone up in my estimation as well. It's good to see.
