I think people will miss the commentators a lot more than the pundits, even if a lot will claim they prefer it. Unless they use some other broadcaster’s commentary of course.

This guys hates us, why would you believe anything this twat says?

Really depressing state of affairs , already got so many oddball right wing channels. Could really do with the BBC maintaining its balance in spite of the Tory threats

I said this months ago in this same thread - I would rather the BBC endured, and took a "bend don't break" point of view because this government is not forever. They will be voted out, and as tonight has shown the rank and file journalists, presenters and talent at the BBC believe in its neutrality and founding principles.

Hopefully in a few years we'll be looking at this as a dark chapter in the BBC's storied history that it's recovering from instead of the final chapter.

I’ve always defended the BBC as we need a service that tries its best to be impartial- but definitely now worried it’s going down a very slippery right wing path and todays decision is not a good look

They haven't been impartial for years.

It's only now that certain people are realising it.

Don't know if this has been said already, but don't you think Tyler, Neville and Spitty should support Lineker and refuse to commentate on matches this weekend?

Are you literally incapable of seeing anything past club rivalries?

It really does feel like some of you would turn down an organ transplant if you found out the donor supported any of the 20-30 clubs on the forum's shit list.

You think invoking 1930s Germany is balanced? Seriously?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Not when it comes that twat. Someone who is so easily swayed by lies and an agenda isn't worth listening to in any capacity imo. Unless you are desperate for affirmation.

Hope nobody from the Bbc ever goes to speakers corner on a sunday they would have a nervous breakdown.Time the Beeb was abolished.

The governmental wording is. It's highly dangerous rhetoric. Even Germans who are educated in spotting this kind of language and to call it out are calling it out.

 

[sir baconface]

Be careful or you will be called a fascist soon.

I don’t mind that, mate. Been called a lot worse.

I don’t even agree with the government’s stance on the boats but if people want to stir up shit, so be it.

 

[domalino]

You think invoking 1930s Germany is balanced? Seriously?

Balance is allowing all your presenters/talent outside of the news & politics programming to speak freely in public outside of their jobs, not just the ones who support the government.

 

[Palerider]

I find Sky and the woeful BT much worse than the BBC but any broadcast without an extended version of why United and Liverpool won, drew, lost would be very welcome. It has got to be an improvement.

 

[TinFoilHat]

If this is going to BBC Policy the Doctor Who Reboot will be sunk before it's even on air as Russell T Davis has already written a story about a fascist ruler of Britain using migration to create power.

[BerkshireBlue]

SKY and BT have far more money to offer than the BBC - why do you think the BBC gets highlights and the others get live? Money talks and thats how contracts work.

that's why the get the live games not the highlights as they pay more for the live games and not the highlights. I've no idea what you're argument is and you clearly don't know what a contract is

Dr Who is puerile shite...
