Lineker suspended from MOTD

If this had been left alone it would simply be a case of, "famous person disagrees with government policy".

The Conservative Party by forcing their governing stooge to suspend him have made this a massive issue.

The extremes of both sides are just as intolerant as each other and it makes political debate on public platforms impossible.

Get off the fence ffs Winston.

Fascist or anti fascist, those are the choices.

I'm not on the fence, and obviously I have opinions on each subject. That's not my point.

"send them back" = facist

having compassion = not facist


It's that simple.

Best scenario sack all these highly paid sports presenters and pundits and spend the money on making more high class Doccumentaries and dramas which the BBC does very well, win win

Along the right lines but really we need to put the money into industry and automation so that a large number of people can actually afford to feed themselves.

1.3m for 20 minutes of commentary a week is a shocking waste of money.

The bbc needs to go, not fit for purpose. Poor journalism, and we don't need dramas and documentaries, plenty of those. State broadcasters have no place in this day and age.

This whole thing is rinse and repeat of the same thing, with the same characters, ad infinitum. More polarisation is what the Government wanted and people have gone for it hook line and sinker.

You haven’t a clue what their history holds, we had a double murderer being placed in a school with teenagers, he then goes on to commit another murder.

If that piece of crap had murdered a kid the 💩 would have really hit the fan, and no doubt plums like you and racist sizzle would have condemned the government.

It's working isn't it?! This is exactly what the government want. Well done. You've been fooled by their little game.
