Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

[Metal Biker]

Something for all you FOC's to reminisce over.

Aaahhhh.......some good news. Hopefully the smug twat won't get back on.

Speak your opinion and you get asked to stand down. Be a massive child molester and you become a Sir. BBC showing it’s true values yet again

Gary Lineker is "stepping back from Match of the Day", says the BBC

We have said that we consider his recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines. The BBC has decided that he will step back from presenting MOTD until we've got an agreed and clear position on his use of social media"

Seems like the comparison with the 1930’s isn’t so far fetched after all.…

If the next time he fronts MANUreMotD and he is required to wear a badge à la 1930s could it be this one?

Saying there is similarity in rhetoric from the early 1930s isn't the same thing as saying "they're Nazis" or belittling the horrors of the Holocaust. The initial populist rhetoric the Nazi party used in the early 30s to get elected is what he is comparing the wording of the Tory policy to.

Yeah, and I'm sure that's what the smug twat was thinking when he said it. My arse.

TV Licence is trending on twitter.

Oh the laughs just keep on coming! Defund the BBC just gained some unexpected allies.

So everyone who wants Lineker sacked was fine with Le Tissier being sacked? Or other people posting right-wing propaganda? Should Alan Sugar lose his job or is he OK because he’s not left-wing?

Free speech only goes one way, it seems. I thought cancelling people was a bad thing but it looks like it’s OK now.

Alex Scott has said she won't host MOTD tomorrow.

Jesus things must be bad if even Alex Scott has turned it down. That woman would present two bald men fighting over a comb if she was asked...

Does that mean admitting cancelling the other people now wasn't okay? Is cancelling anyone for any views whatsoever, supportive or not, now not okay?

Where are we on the spectrum of morality, it appears to keep changing.

Mark Chapman says no.

Gabby Logan will presumably be doing the Six Nations and is therefore not an option.
