"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."

"no outrage here, ray son, certainly not at the Lineker one - the man is an imbecile. A fair amount of outrage at the Ernesto Ellis one, I'll admit. Because its disgusting, and there SHOULD be accountability for that sort of thing. Quite happy to piss our pants and get all angry about a few civil servants getting pissed during lockdown, but will sweep murders under the carpet if it suits the homo agenda."

SurfaceAgentX2Zero 11:38 Thu Mar 9 I could have been wrong - stand corrected if I am. Thought it was Nick Robinson who is a Conservative and was house mates with Michael Gove for a while.

"ray winstone 11:34 Thu Mar 9 'Gary Lineker, multi millionaire (tax dodger) who had a successful football career, carved about a career in media and speaks fluent Spanish is a 'fucking idiot'?' On that basis, you'd have to agree that Boris Johnson is an absolute genius. 'Pack it in with the faux outrage, it makes you and the others on here look a bit silly.' Indeed."

why is it faux outrage to be angry that a multi-millionaire (who does he best to avoid paying tax) wants the tax payer to foot the bill of welcoming large numbers of migrants?? i'd say every normal tax payer is well within their rights to have the hump.

"Lineker should be able to say what he likes - mostly because every time he does, he reveals himself to be a fucking idiot. More than 50,000 migrants globally have died making dangerous journeys on the promise of a better life since 2014. Any measures to discourage people from making these journeys should be applauded and supported by anyone who places any value on human life. Self evidently, Lineker and his ilk do not. Further, this is a man who is in an ongoing battle with HMRC about the fact he owes £4.9 MILLION in tax, having been found to be using a tax avoidance scheme. So, he wants to continue to expand our £7 million a DAY bill for housing asylum seekers, but he wants YOU to pay for it, because he'll be doing all he can to avoid paying his fair share. It doesn't matter whether you're left or right leaning, its completely irrelevant, there surely can't be anyone who thinks he's anything other than a complete wanker. People are so obsessed with their childish red v blue bullshit that they wind up perennially contradicting themselves. So here you have thickos like winstone and solidbond defending a wealthy tax avoider. They'll be on another thread soon enough moaning about another wealthy tax avoider, because they are 'blue'. The stupidity is unfathomable. Lastly, I would have thought all these 'celebrities' would think twice about their virtue signalling crap following the Ernesto Ellis case. Sadly, because it didn't get anything like the coverage it should have done, they're not obliged to do so. As said at the time, all involved should have been charged as accessories to murder. There needs to be accountability for the dangerous rhetoric that these people constantly produce at some point."

"Whatever Linekar says, he is inexorably tied to the BBC - whether he, or anybody else, likes it or not. Them's the apples in public media. He's the ""face"" of their flagship sports programme, for fuck's sake! There's no ""missing link"" between Lineker & the BBC. List the 1st 3 things that spring to mind whenever his name (or image) comes up (cսnt! cսnt! cսnt! may well be true, but not quite what I was getting at). By default, whatever he says is using the global impartial brand image of the BBC and, working backwards from that, many will assume - rightly or wrongly - that he, whatever is claimed, is speaking on behalf of and for that organisation. If the wants to air his un-impartial views, he must totally distance himself from the BBC. If he wants to maintain his status at the BBC, he needs to keep those views to himself - or, at least, not present them in a manner that can be recorded and reported. It's a case, here, of either/or, not a slice from both cakes."

bruuuno 11:47 Wed Mar 8 I get your point but the Tories have proven to be serially incompetent for a fair old while. I am left leaning and did not agree with most of what Margaret Thatcher did (the single market was her brainchild) but at least they had a grip of the task in hand a lot of the time and she and her government had a plan. Even Cameron sort of had one even though we are still feeling austerity now but the last four PMs and their administrations appear not to have any idea what they are doing beyond the end the current press cycle. Calling them terrible is fair enough as they demonstrably are just that.

It will indeed be funny if he's cancelled. Suppose he can always go and get some more work over in Qatar.

Has the BBC chair who arranged an £800K loan to Boris Johnson had his chat with Lineker about impartiality yet?

"Pretty accurate summary there rios. There is no real political left and right in this country. As well as the globalist factions, people now decide where they stand in the culture wars and as you have previously mentioned, the long march is almost complete and the cultural left are winning hands down."

"ED Its not a left and right thing anymore, that's just the spectrum they want you to view it as. Its globalists and non-globalists. The Globalists merged with the left around 2008, the outcome is looking very much like a merger between big government, big tech, big corporates and the progressive movement. We used to call this fascism, but they don't like it very much, so be kind."
