Credit to Lineker for drawing attention back to the plight of refugees in his Tweet.

Reading around the chip
Talking of pie, it's a shame Lineker feels the need to be so conciliatory or diplomatic towards Davie, but nonetheless I enjoyed this shameless bit of marketing shoehorned into his Twitter thread.

There's pressure on Bruce as well. She's ''stepped back'' from her ambassador role with Refuge and there now are calls for her to get axed from Question Time.

Hold on, is auntie riddled with partiality?
I really hope not but it does seems to be under attack.

Last week a poll of Daily Mail readers showed that 94% of them thought Lineker should be sacked.
No sh*t Sherlock.
This is the paper that constantly wages war on the BBC for being too left wing.
Whereas much of the furore over Lineker's suspension is about the BBC pandering to the right wing.
Go figure.

I think it's a bit deeper than that. I doubt that Kuenssberg chose the tweets herself. She'll just have read what's on the autocue. Questions need to be asked of the programme editorial and research team IMHO.
The same goes for Fiona Bruce - she is wearing an earpiece and has an editorial team on tap to guide her. She has made a statement to the press:-
What she actually said was:-
It also amuses me that it is presented as her decision to step back from Refuge and not the decision of Refuge who probably asked her to "step back" until the shootstorm passes.

To be fair, they always do. They need to grow some cohones...

In fairness, it cannot be easy when 'impartiality' is a somewhat nebulous concept when trying to report political stories AND you have partisan political appointees at the head of your organisation.

And today in parliament, the voice of reason prevails

Sammy Wilson (DUP) says people should no longer have to pay the licence fee. It is a “poll tax on propaganda”, he says.
Lopez says the government is concerned the licence fee is losing public support. It is considering how the BBC should be funded in the long term.
