Rightwing Backlash

Has BBC chairman Richard Sharp been suspended?
Why would he be suspended for something said by an employee of the BBC?
They're looking to save money and getting the long-term presenters like Lineker and Fiona Bruce off the payroll will save a big chunk of cash.

But missing a major political point, which is what the Lineker issue is
 
They won't kill it off but the current team of pundits are more expendable than they think.
Oddly enough, i never miss it when Liverpool lose, either. Stay tuned for tonight.:LOL:
I think there's a lot of sports programmes that would be interested in well known, top, presenters
 
But missing a major political point, which is what the Lineker issue is
The point is the independence of the BBC from political interference.
When Lineker tweets his opinion he gives Tories all the ammunition they need to bring the BeeB to order and curtail their independence.

Gary would get another job tomorrow. I'm not sure the match commentators would who have come out in support.

They will have to back down

I'm not totally convinced about that. If he'd stopped at criticising the Govt and it's policies he would have got away with it, but he went on to compare the Govt to the Nazi party and refused to back down. That's a hell of a potential liability for any prospective employer.
 
Linegar X footballer and current football pundit

Is now a role model :giggle:

The BBC has been going for a 100 years

It will survive this irrelevant nonsense

The country is on the brink of mass hysteria

Correct. I like the BBC too.

It's more about the Tories surviving the fact that they have fascists in their ranks. Great distraction for them though.
 
Look at the criticism pro players give to someone without a football background bit has strong opinions on the game.
Sounds like my missus. She really has a go at me if I talk about what's happening in a game.

"You're not qualified to comment!"

"I can talk about what I see without knowing everything you know about footy...!"

Far be it for me to question the accuracy of reports in 'The Sun', but yes, I do doubt it, I think he's become too hot to handle.
Nonsense. Accurate descriptions of Cory Tunts is acceptable.

Only a tunt would agree that he's right and proper to align the Tory party with the Nazis who killed 6 million jews. If you want to applaud that, fair play, it's a free country, we have free speech and it is your prerogative, but make no mistake, obfuscating about the dates when the Nazi Party actually started opening concentration camps and killing jews on mass doesn't make you less of a tunt, it makes you more of one.

You should hang your head in shame, you really are a despicable person boyo.

Fascists :ROFLMAO:

Total nonsense ( get a grip )

Was it not Shirley Williams who made a conference speech and spoke of the fascism of the left ??

( I can confirm it was boyo )
