Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

[york away to this!]

All these pages of people taking sides due to their political leanings is exactly why he should not have expressed his opinion on this matter...

Sorry but his comments were bang on - IMHO. The language being used by this government with regards to this particular issue ISN'T dissimilar to the language that was being used in 1930s Germany. No-one is suggesting that the government is going to end up killing millions of innocent people like the Nazis did but at the very least the language they're using is going to fire up the more extremist elements of our country and probably rope a fair few others in on top of that. I'm just surprised that Sunak signed off on it but he's clearly pandering to the far-right in his own party.

Gary Lineker tweets about refugees again as BBC bosses say he'll be back on air this weekend

The BBC apologises for the episode and announces an independent review into its social media guidelines, while Lineker thanks director general Tim Davie "for his understanding during this difficult period", adding that he has "an almost impossible job keeping everybody happy".

Just said on the news he's going to return, the beeb are apologising to him

Hopefully Danny Murphy still stays away

MOTD needs a reshuffle, been stagnant for years.

Be able to do that with or without Lineker and co.

Get rid of these so called pundits with their agenda driven drivel. I've watched and played enough football like all of us to make my own mind up about the highlights we see. Much better getting a balanced when watching live of course. But getting rid of these ermm pundits and commentators is a step foreward, watch the game and not follow a pre ordained narrative

Thought this was supposed to be about motd and the other thread was the political one!

I’d argue that does seem to be advocating dumbing down though.

BBC bosses action of Friday has humiliated BBC bosses by Monday - its also torched BBC sports coverage - it was always going to end this way when Sunak rather than backing them ran away at a rate on knots having realised it was a dogs dinner of an idea and he needed to keep number 10 as far away as possible

We might mock MOTD but for a lot of older people who don't stream or can't afford sky it's their only means of watching the football. Shame on the BBC for fucking that up for them, even if it's only for one weekend

Making it better, the bollocks we have to put up with on there is unreal. Apparently Newcastle were better than us last week! They are a bunch of jokers, get rid and just keepnto showingbthe highlights

Well you're entitle to your opinion of course and in the lefty echo-chamber that is Bluemoon, the usual posters (you can just name them already) doubtless will agree. But it was IMO a crass and deeply inappropriate comment.

This thread is really getting me annoyed now by the sheer amount of people who can't spell his name correctly.

It's LINEKER
