Take a look at this.....



How choreographed is this? An employee pretends to doorstep their employer, in pretend hard hitting interview.

The statement wasn’t clear at all.

I would respect him more if he offered to put up a 100 or so refugees in temporary accomodation at his mansion.

I doubt you would because your small mind is already made up about him. That he has already housed refugees has probably passed you by and the facility to house 100 in his “mansion” is a fantasy of yours.

The statement wasn’t clear at all.

Agreed, it wasn't.

But this is.....

BBC rules on social media

Well done Bristol Rovers who were the first to come out and actually say they would not be doing interviews before or after their game today.

I see the BBC have said they will not be requesting interviews at any grounds. I'd loved to have seen who did respond and say no and who didn't! I bet Karren Brady at West Ham would have made sure that they cooperated with the BBC and made their manager and players be interviewed!!

I would imagine Gary will, in the end say something generic that will be a backing down of sorts while ot really backing down. A 'I recognise I shouldn't said that with my association to the bbc, but i am a passionate outspoken guy and will always have values blah blah'. The bbc will similarly reinforce their commitment to impartiality and also free speech, and how valued he is as a pundits. There will be one or two awkward episodes and grimmaces and then it'l move on.

Could be wrong.

Btw, I know with the number of responses between us in a short time, it may look like I'm either latching onto a lot of what you say or picking out yours specifically. That is not the case, the discussions just went that way, and most of it was genuine exchange of stances. I feel the same of your responses too, even the opposing ones, just thought I'd note it for clarity.

I agree with your sugested possible resolution.
No problem at all , I enjoy the debate on here. I like to play devil's advocate at times, probably a bit too much. But I feel no malice towards anyone. Have a good day. I'm off clay shooting , should be interesting as I haven't shot anything for 17years. Lol

How can anyone take "BBC IMPARTIALITY" seriously when the Director General is a former Chairman of a Tory constituency, stood twice for election as a Tory, donated £400,000 to the Tory party and facilitated the loan of £800,000 for a self-servative Prime Minister.

This is state censorship and nothing else.
It was fine and acceptable for Linaker to highlight Human Rights abuses both on Social Media and on the BBC, but when he highlights potential Human Rights abuses in his own country being proposed by the party his boss is a member of the Nazti party try to silence him.
The Tories in control of the Beeb have shot themselves in both feet here, and instead of "having a quiet word" have placed themselves firmly on the front pages and open for a level of scrutiny they deserve but seldom get.

I suspect they did “have a quiet word“ and were politely told to fcuk off.

Quiet words and carefully worded statements from both sides would have been the only way to stop this escalating.

It will be interesting to see who blinks first.

Funny a fuck watching all the Lefties getting upset at cancel culture.

I want to know the logic behind this.

So you're against cancel culture when it involves actual sexual misconduct or racism, but it's funny when the person calling out racist rhetoric is being censored?

What're the mental gymnastics involved to think you're on the righ side of this?
