Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

[The Future’s Blue!]

no - I just think that journalists are not prepared to overlook what is happening

It’s the right answer. Doing this to Lineker has far ranging impacts on freedoms that the press/media enjoy.

Fuck about with these freedoms and there is only one outcome.

What a daft place to move this thread, I get it was always going to get political and end up in the subforum, but why this particular loaded one, at least leave it with its own discussion.

This government has torn us all apart for year's. I have close friends/family who are Tories and they are being dragged in because they believe what they read. We need moderation and logic. Stop the hate.

 

[ZenHalfTimeCrock]

Surely, the most obvious choice.

Might make for longer highlights of the games. I'm really not interested in what a pundit 'makes' of the game everyone just saw at the expense of actual game footage.

The worst bit of any football broadcast is listening to the shite from pundits. They have far too much to say on stuff they shouldn't.
They are also biased and way too chummy.
If I wanted to listen to opinionated football wankers I'd go to the pub.

Or come on the match thread on here if we're not winning 5-0 at half time.

SKY handed the initiative by the Beeb - you couldn't make this shit up

Good riddance Lineker is a **** anyway

Agreed Leicester never won the PL

This is simultaneously the most stupid and the most hilarious outcome imaginable. Sunak has had his French trip upstaged as the story now is, how Nazi is the Govt, and is the BBC a Govt mouthpiece, run by right wing political appointees.

All because of one fucking tweet that would have been forgotten about 24 hours later if they had possessed the good sense to ignore it. Instead, they went into full frothing hysteria mode (as did a couple of posters on here) and now the affair is eating everyone alive.

Unbelievable, Jeff!

True, they may be opinionated football wankers on the matchday thread, but they are OUR opinionated football wankers!!! :)
