Woke watch

[arsene york-hunt]

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

In this context referencing Germany in the 1930s then Nazi is exactly what he's implying. It makes no difference whether he actually said the word or not.

"ray winstone 3:30 Sat Mar 11 'Still no proof of the word ‘Nazi’ then?' I don't have to prove anything, do I? His words are there for all to see. If he didn't mean 'Nazi', he'll doubtless come out and say so"

"Fo the Communist 2:10 Sat Mar 11 Re: Woke watch I don’t know the answer but is it FACT that Lineker broke his contract? I still say this is about free speech. The question about whether he is breaking the terms of his contract, I would think, depends on how you define the meaning of the word ""impartiality"" and whether you think the issue at stake is a party political one. In my opinion it's insane to say that any kind of criticism of the government is politically partial, especially in a case like this where it could easily be argued that this is a moral issue as well as a political one. Anybody, including the BBC, is free to make it publicly known that they disagree with Lineker and distance themselves from his views, and leave it at that, which would be the sensible thing to do. So I would say that they are wrong to think of this as a breach of political impartiality rules, but I can appreciate that the lines here are blurred. Good luck with sorting it out. The BBC have clearly weighed into this with no exit strategy."

"Kaiser. Not just Linekar. The BBC have to get tough on this or any impariality claims will be laughed at should GL host MOTD again. Scott should be booted off the one show and the likes of Shearer, Chapman, Wright et al should all be tild that if they dont turn up for their next scheduled shift then dont bother turning up at all. Perhaps some of these cunts will then ease up in their desperation to be virtue signaller of the week!"

"I am pretty much 'A' political these days. But if I were a tory supporter I would be laughing my cock off at the moment. The abject government that I support being so far behind in the polls in the run-up to an election they were bound to lose needed a ""dog whistle"" policy which would gain them points. ""Stop the boats"" is launched. A great slogan headlining a policy with little chance of solving the problem (even according to some of their fellow tories) being championed by the latest in a line of poor quality ministers (Braverman) applying ill-judged and ridiculous rhetoric to the mix (billions are coming) What a relief nobody is now talking about that because the ""real"" problem is whether Gary Lineker or the BCC has got it right! PS I only watch Match of the Day when the Hammers win so don't see that often to miss it if it goes"

"BRANDED 3:34 Sat Mar 11 100% Although peer pressure must be a factor, imagine being the person happy to replace Lineker, what sort of abuse does that open up for someone"

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SACK ALL OF THEM PLEASE

"If a presenter on Russian tv had posted up something of a similar nature, perhaps about the current conflict, he’d have been defenestrated by now."

[mashed in maryland]

"Anyone denying a reference to ""1930s Germany"" is a reference to Nazis isn't arguing in good faith."

[ray winstone]

"Surf, weird analogy that, even for you. Still no proof of the word ‘Nazi’ then?"

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"ay winstone 1:40 Sat Mar 11 Nice try. Who did he mean ray? If for example, I was to describe you as 'an ageing masturbater who likes to toss himself off to pictures of underage boys', I'd be pretty hard-pressed to deny the accusation that I'd called you an old gay, paedo wanker, wouldn't I? You'd be clutching at your stroke mags, not saying, 'oh It's OK, he didn't call me old, a wanker or a paedo, so I have no idea what he meant' Silly person."

"All good York, no worries"

[Mr Kenzo]

He wasnt suspended

[stewie griffin]

"Ah , no, that bit is a c&p of Fo's original post. Bit below is the answer... or non answer. Sky news do a pretty good explainer (pretty much the only decent thing they do) and the way their article describes how bbc treats freelancers leaves sufficient room for both sides to think they're right."

[Yorkammer]

"Apologies Stewie, I came over dyslexic and read 'is it' as 'it is'!"

[Leatherhead Hammer]

"I think Lineker is a smarmy cսnt and the ""progressive"" views he spouts on twitter are complete garbage, including the latest ""1930s Germany"" tweet. That being said, he should be free to air his opinions, without being suspended from his job. Unfortunately this situation has now lead to him being celebrated as a martyr to the woke mob. This has resulted in Football Focus not airing today, replaced by Bargain Hunt, as the normal presenters have refused to host FF, in solidarity with Lineker. I don't recall any of these clowns protesting about Jack Hepple and his girlfriend losing their jobs, because he pait to have plane fly the banner saying ""White lives matter"" -A factual statement that is not offensive to any rational person"

"Arf! Oh dear, Yorkammer..."

[Yorkammer]

I thought you were saying 'I don’t know the answer but is it FACT that Lineker broke his contract'

[stewie griffin]

Why would you assume I've read it?

[Yorkammer]

I assume you've read it so where is it?

[stewie griffin]

What?

[Yorkammer]

"Stewie, have you got a link to Lineker's contract with the BBC?"
