A really great opportunity for a complete restyle and reset.Slight overreaction lol.
Eastenders is shite as well.
Hope that doesn’t send you into a spin?
Yours is the overreaction, why get so worked up ?Slight overreaction lol.

Regardless...he used his platform on the BBC to express political views, Lineker didnt.....What about the head of the bbc (or one of them cant remember which one) being a writer for a right wing magazine - think its called "the Competitor" or something like that.... is this ok? Howis that different from what Lineker has done? He is clearly contracted to the BBCAs has, I'm sure, already been pointed out, Sugar isn't contracted to the BBC, Lineker (note the spelling) is.
Not sure you did, but you can take that to the one in the political forum, this is a thread in a football forum.Yes.
And Im saying it should never be ignored (what Linekar said) - football aint important by ANY standard when looking at something like what Linekar is talking about
Yours is the overreaction, why get so worked up ?
The comparison was a poor one imo. Regardless of his or your or anyones dislike of this government, their language isn't the same as the hate and bile spewed by the nazi government. Comparing the too surely leads to belittling the evil that occurred in 1930s Germany. I do have an issue with that.
Its all too easy to throw insults and make comparisons like this these days and i think those that do don't fully understand what occurred back then. It trivialises an awful nadir in European history.
According to the current BBC director general it supposedly does whilst he's earning a wage paid for by the taxpayer. Personally I feel it's a storm in a teacup; the BBC have, IMO, acted way too heavy-handed, could have simply reminded Gary that such comments bring the BBC up for criticism that they now have to bat away, not him himself, and they could do without the additional 'outrage' given there are many people with a certain opinion of the BBC calling for the licence fee to be scrapped.But he didn’t make the comments on any BBC social media site or on the TV. How does that break the agreement? Is he not allowed to express a viewpoint on anything outside of his job?
yeah I know it is older and was still being pushed by some till the 50s-70s but in the context of that decade of topic it was very much still a popular policy and languague was being used similar to sunaks in ozThe White Australia Policy goes back to 1901. It was Australia who quashed the following proposal that the Japanese wanted inserted in the Treaty of Versailles in 1919....
"The equality of nations being a basic principle of the League of Nations, the High Contracting Parties agree to accord as soon as possible to all alien nationals of states, members of the League, equal and just treatment in every respect making no distinction, either in law or in fact, on account of their race or nationality."
to gloss over what Lineker said about human rights etc?.....the thread shouldnt exist...football aint that important to start saying things like "well at least we can watch more football/less punditary etc".....some things are funny..the majority of what is posted on this forum is funny, humerous, entertaining and educational but a thread like this that even slightly minimises what is going on in the world in my opinion doesnt have a place......Not sure you did, but you can take that to the one in the political forum, this is a thread in a football forum.
That and to deflect from thier shitness.
Did you read the thread title either ? "ignoring the lineker stuff" for instance, if you want to moralise/politicise the MoTD stuff there's a thread right HERE for you.to gloss over what Lineker said about human rights etc?
And other political broadcasting figures within the bbc ..Interesting that linekar's tweet has cost him his job due to perceived political bias, whereas dan roan as sports editor can spew to his heart's content.
It's not offended me in the slightest, I just don't get how wound up you can get over a programme, I would also say enjoy your day but I have an image of you as Victor Meldrew walking about muttering under your breath how shit this and that is ;)The program is shite so I don’t watch it.
Hardly an overreaction is it?
Let me guess, me saying so on here has offended you?
Tough titties I’m afraid.
Enjoy your day.
It's pretty much the same thing.Slogans, eh?
Anyone else twigged that Stop The Boats has the same initial letters as Send Them Back?
