Lineker dropped from Match of the Day

Re: Lineker dropped from Match of the Day

Wow.

Whats so surprising? There is a very valid debate that Stalin's regime in the USSR was more evil I suppose, or even that Pol Pots in Cambodia was, but I would give that infamy to the Nazi regime personally.

Re: Lineker dropped from Match of the Day

Excellent article.

Yes I enjoyed that. Highly accurate and articulate ��

Yes - very good. Thanks TLG for sharing.

Although entirely one sided. The side of astute and perceptive not confused and deflecting.

And incredibly it was all based on what Lineker actually tweeted not inventions of what he tweeted by desperate Tory apologists.

On reflection, angry was probably too strong a word to use.

However I do get irritated when assumptions are made about my post which are simply not there,and in this case as I reiterated subsequently I was not making an attempt to justify the overuse of tories purely responding factually to a point made by Eric in another post about BBC political editors being generally tories

The other thing you got wrong is in thinking I was referring to political correspondents. I wasn't, I was referring to political EDITORS, a much smaller field.

There have only been ten of these, the first two Hardiman Smith and David Holmes I know nothing about. For balance my views on those after Simpson Cole and Marr are

Robin Oakley From his background probably Conservative, but not sure

Nick Robinson. A Tory in his student days but not sure about later years. Always seems even handed

Laura Kuensberg. Strongly suspected by some (including yourself)of being story sympathiser. Never been sure myself

Chris Mason. I have no idea of his political views. again always seems even handed.

Anyway enough of this wittering I accept your apology.

Thanks, glad to move on from that.

Having read Oakley’s Wikipedia page, it’s hard to see him as anything else than a Tory, but, like Robinson, he seemed even handed in his approach. I’ve heard Chris Mason called a Tory, but that’s on places that think half of the Labour Party are Conservatives.

The surprising thing is you posted that gibberish believing it made some sort of sense.

So Gary Lineker tweeting about the Tories' refugees policy "undermines the foundations" of the Nazi regime?

Give your head a wobble.

Gary Knober Lineker

Where has the post gone?

And as he's mother Theresa why was that his nickname?

Underplays, downplays, makes light of (the foundation of the most evil regime in history) are better word than undermines. Apologies for any confusoion. 👍

I was a bit irritable last night as I was up several times with my senior problem - nocturnal trips to the bathroom!!

It's got a bit worse since my enforced spell of bed rest during my health scare and it's bloody annoying
(and tiring)

So apologies for being a bit OTT and grumpy this morning.

Now shall I go and annoy some other posters by finally stating what I think of Gary Linekers suspension?

Nah.Think I'll have dinner first. Let 'em guess!

Knober? Is that a German word or something?:hehe:

Re: Gary Knober Lineker

It's strange that all the tory boys on here seem to be supporting the government , saying they are only doing what's right for the country whilst at the same time slagging off Gary Lineker ?

What a coincidence

Sadly, I’m also a frequent visitor to the bathroom during the night these days and my dog has now decided that if she’s going to be disturbed so much, she’ll go for a pee as well, so I’ve now got to go downstairs and let her out the back most nights at about three o clock.
