#justice for the Eccles one and Johnboy.

*lol* we stick together. :-)

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.

Agreed. They don't need the money but it's good to see morality prevail.

 

[WestGorton]

Fuck me, satire is dead.

She is a fucking cretin so hardly surprising.

Will the BBC cave in or double down? Got themselves in a right pickle here.

funny as fuck - someone at the BBC today made what they thought was a bold decision and its allowed SKY and other news channels to troll them mercilessly

If everyone pulls out maybe Kyle can do it.

He never pulls out.

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

Actually, everyone has the right to speak on social issues.

 

[west didsblue]

He chose to go down the Nazi/Holocaust route, always a bad move that never ends well and maybe now he'll think before he goes trawling for likes and retweets.

#Stayinyourlane

No he didn’t. Braverman did.
Lineker made a valid comparison with the language used by the Germans in the 1930s.

wait until the viewing figures tumble and more people decide to not pay the license fee

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.

That would be novel

 

[woody1968]

Every single MOTD pundit should refuse to do the show - Have the BBC sacked Fiona Bruce yet or even sorted Kuenssberg out ! Puppets lead by a man who got the wanker who is Bozo Johnson his loan - can’t believe what I am seeing at the moment - if I didn’t know better the Tories and their puppet press/media are looking for some form of civil war

lol

 

[Gabriel]

Can we expect an Attenborough narrated piece on the plight of the endangered MOTD presenter?

Only available on the BBC iPlayer, naturally…

They won't tumble they will probably increase as they'll want to find out who is presenting, who are the pundits and if anything is said.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I've just seen this on Twitter and I apologise for slighting this female pundit earlier:

Jermaine Jenas, Mark Chapman, Alex Scott, Ian Wright, Alan Shearer & Micah Richards have all ruled themselves out of Saturday’s Match of The Day in solidarity Gary Lineker. How long before show is taken off air? Can’t be many options left to hand.

 

[TonyM]

Cue the word patriot being used for all remaining (compliant) staff.

Once the novelty wears off and a bunch of amateurish new faces present it most will watch on iplayer and ffwd through the studio bits

Then they’ll have an even greater excuse to sell it off cheap to party donors.
