Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

[The Future’s Blue!]

Can football have a say in politics?

We are always divided in football and get fucked over many times by the powers that be because of it. With all pundits, commentators and players coming together, is it time for us as fans to tell the authorities to duck off as well?

Only if you support Lineker’s stance, of course.

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

It's not that the BBC is choosing to go down this route, it's being forced to kowtow to a Tory government that's spent years attacking it for being "lefty" while installing their own people to push it right under threat of defunding.

And the kicker is that undermining people's trust in the BBC just furthers the objective, which is to eliminate a politically balanced state broadcaster. So this all blowing up and people realising how deep the government has its claws into the beeb is great for them.

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 think many in the UK supported the BBC. What you show there should make people think and understand the reality of where this country is going.

Will Liverpool still mean more?

Amazing the headlines this is generating. Man breaks work guidelines and gets sacked from.prsenting job is essentially what has happened.

Lineker and Shearer were tedious in the extreme, look at the positives people. Shearer in particular was truly awful.

No one down the pub tonight gave a two hoots about Lineker or his supposed virtuous stance. Im thinking that represents the vast majority of British people.

True. They range from tired/over-exposed through to dross and some of the others waiting in the wings are no better.

Surely we can have a popup informing us of empty seats?
