Let’s talk about BBC

They all missed the point that was made here, that Johnson is using it as a ruse to divert from mist of his, no doubt, unseemly list.

Lineker never even got a yellow card in his whole playing career.

Foul play.

He shat himself on the pitch once, was that not foul play?

Not his fault. He had been fed some foreign muck that didn’t agree with his delicate constitution.
It wouldn’t have happened with good old British food.

His views seem to have gained 'traction' simply because he regularly expresses them on social media. The same reason that my SM feed is filled with videos of people 'existing' that have been watched by millions around the globe.

Just the BBC boot licking as usual. Not Linekers.

Interesting analysis from a caller on LBC.
Lineker is providing a celebrity “anti endorsement” of the policy. And celebrity endorsements are very powerful with the public, which is why advertisers pay huge sums for celebrities and US politicians always want to be seen with them.
The government have to somehow discredit Lineker as otherwise his anti endorsement will carry too much weight.
They can’t defend their own policy; all they can do is try to discredit Lineker. Which is why the entire force of Fleet Street has been called into action.

Without seeing it, I might be pre-judging ... but the environment is science. Recent Attenboroughs have featured a lot more gloom+doom about climate change, but they've stuck to the facts, and no Politics (with a big P). I'd be surprised if this was any different.

Toadie at the top!

I have not listened to Attenborough for years. He makes stuff that seems tediously boring.

Can't say I watch Attenborough to often but that's not really the point here is it ?
The BBC are going to censor Attenborough based on the reaction from Tory MPs and right wing newspapers.

Lineker taking a step back from MOTD now . Honest to god , what an absolute shoot show . ( not MOTD btw ) . Tories or should I say this Gov are rattled that’s for sure .

Yes you can - that's the beauty of free speech, do you see??

 

[multitool]

BBC is run by a man who gave Johnson 800k, just before he got the BBC job.

Can you imagine what the BBC would sound like if it was actually left-wing, and not right-wing?

 

[Beebo]

Pathetic from BBC.
How do they justify Andrew Neil being the chairman of The Spectator?
