You’re getting embroiled with Sludge again, never a good signOriginally Posted by dembethewarrior
Can tell I'm having a bad week can you
I've never heard of John Cole Bob, let alone mentioned him.
And that David Attenborough story is completely denied by the BBC too. It's an unnamed source making an unverified claim (that will make left wing readers rage and drive up clicks)
But yeah, dunno what you mean by John Cole, there?
Bit of a plot twist?
Lineker knows he shouldn't post political tweets but deliberately posts inflamatory ones to avoid tax? 🤔
The article is from a year ago but it provides background.
https://www.theguardian.com/football...d-49m-tax-bill
Are you suggesting he shouldn’t Tweet his opinions, or that he is OK to do so, but doesn’t have entirely charitable motivations? Or are you just slinging anything you can find?
The problems Lineker would have in that case are D&C and RoS.
Whilst he'd be engaged to host a program, he's still under D&C with a director in his ear; "Gary, wrap p, we need to cut to next segment"
RoS fails because it's Gary Lineker being engaged to do the work. If he's ill, he's not arranging and providing a substitute to do the work, BBC do.
This kerfuffle cold also work against him, showing that he's considered by BBC to be subject to the same conditions as perm employees.
Nah I'm quite the advocate of free speech, and not just selectively so. I think his tweet was ignorant and I disagree with his opinions, but he is entitled to them.
That said, employers have other terms and rules and the BBC has one on impartiality and it does seem that this tax battle may be at least a part of the story, in him trying to define his role in order to pay less tax? Who knows, maybe it's a coincidence.
Gosh, where did you find that article, Guido?
If you think his tweet was ignorant you haven’t read your history.
Comparing action and talk aimed at preventing people dangerously crossing the channel illegally with Nazi rhetoric aimed at a specific demographic of German society is indeed ignorant.
Must have been Elwood then, sorry about that, but that doesn’t make any difference to my point. Have you got a link to where the Attenborough story has been denied as well, I can’t find anything this morning.
Alex Scott and “other pundits” have now withdrawn from today’s Football Focus - the BBC need to sort this out quickly and I don’t envy them their task.
Every Friday morning, there’s plenty of Tweets appearing detailing Fiona Bruce’s latest example of clear Tory bias on the previous night’s Question Time. For me, those accusations have some truth to them at times, but I always think what do the critics want in Bruce’s place? An obviously left wing presenter wouldn’t last long on the programme and I don’t think that would be the answer.
I mentioned Andrew Neil, I dislike him and always will, but I also mentioned that no one could plausibly accuse him of bias when interviewing politicians and you only have to recall Boris Johnson “hiding in a fridge” so to speak rather than be interviewed by Neil during the 2019 election campaign to get your proof that Conservative politicians could not rely on Neil soft pedalling when interviewing them.
That was a throwback to what the situation was like for eighty five to ninety per cent of my life - it was accepted that news and political presenters may have had their political opinions that many of the public were aware of, but, as long as they didn’t allow them to interfere with their “day jobs”, no one seemed too bothered.
This makes the BBC’s reaction to what a sports presenter has said way, way over the top and they will live to regret it in my opinion.
"Comparing action and talk..."
No, logic, he didn't compare any 'actions' in his tweet at all.
The dehumanising language used was like that of 1930s Germany.
I think that every time a poster mentions how Gary Lineker tweeted about comparing the asylum policy to Nazi Germany it should just be met with a repost of the actual tweet.
Nah, all be forgotten in a week's time. Last week there was another steaming rant going on about something else - can't even remember what is was. Why are grown men on here getting all worked up like prissy schoolgirls ? Seems this thread went on through the night. Slept like a baby myself !
The Nazis .....A Warning From History
Great TV documentary
Chilling title
And it's telling that the likes of the Home Secretary and her rabid right wing followers use such inflammatory language and lies about the situation yet when in a democratic society when it's challenged they use their influence to try and gag people ......which is the same tactic they accuse the snowflakes of ....
I say bollocks to them
Bauverman is a power hungry back stabber who brings up her husbands Jewish anncestry to plead ......oh well I can't be extremist then can I ! ?
Of course you can and you are
He didn't do that
Sleep tight, hun x
I'm not saying this and other analogies are not a monumental load of bollocks, but you do realize that Jews were not desperate to enter Germany during the rise of the nazis, right? indeed, they fled for their lives.
That isn't happening here. If the analogy were remotely true (it isn't) then people wouldn't be trying to come here.
Colin Murray’s Fighting Talk has been replaced by an episode of Chris Kamara’s Podcast and it appears there are doubts about 5 Live’s sports coverage this afternoon.
A specific demographic of German society? Do you mean the Jews? The Slavs? The gypsies? The Jehovah’s? The communists? The disabled? The gays? Which?
Remind us who the focus of Mein Kampf were?
"If at the beginning of the war and during the war twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the nation had been subjected to poison gas, such as had to be endured in the field by hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers of all classes and professions, then the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain."
Just one of many examples, including the backing for the Protocols bs.
Jew hate was the driver which fanned out to then include others not conforming to the Nazi ideal.
Exactly, Lineker is a two faced weasel of a shit. Be nice if he gave the vast amount he earned to a refugee charity. Oh, and opened his mansion up to house and feed a few of these refugees as well.
He has
No Sport on Five at the moment, just another podcast.
(negative) stereotyping of young women. No need.
Just use adjectives without making clumsy comparisons. Should do the job.
Well he's brought attention to government policy so good for him
I hope that the tories are put through the mixer
They probably reckon they push everything through and win loads of votes
Oh dear
