Lol. Teletext would have rainbow text now and be available in pigeon. It was discriminatory to those with disabilities anyway: it wasn't available in braille.

Furthermore calling the button 'red' is clearly derogatory towards indigenous North American people. In fact the actor Red Buttons ('The Longest Day' et al) is well in the firing line for cancellation.

It's going to be even better when they remove the gender, heightist and weightist language too.

I haven't read all this Lineker stuff, but my amusement is seeing people who promote cancel culture complaining about cancel culture. If Lineker had been known for more 'right wing' views, he would have been sacked already, with his career in ruins. The blatant hypocrisy is there for anyone with eyes to see The lack of self awareness with these people never ceases to amaze. GRR agree every word. Don't do that again Hrolf!

Sorry just so we're clear the proposed policy is amoral. But Lineker is wrong and the bbc 2 faced on this. Normal service?

I'm really not sure how deporting illegal immigrants is amoral, but perhaps it is in your parallel universe, where you also probably have a pointy beard and eye liner. What is kind of weird is putting the plight of total strangers from foreign countries over that of our children and grandchildren. Those strangers come here to work in menial jobs for cash and pay no tax if you are lucky, or very likely work for criminal gangs selling drugs, stealing and pimping.

I'm sure he will be back after they've negotiated some sort of 'you can have your own opinion but you can't have your own opinion' impartiality rule / impossibility. Surprised they're taking any action at all, as I thought the BBC was overtly biased when it comes to policing the minefield of impartiality policy (according to this thread, anyways)
Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

Seem to remember something happening about that at some point.

The BBC Chair clinging on despite his improprieties. The panel that chose him had a tory donor also a prospective tory MP on it. And he is a former employer of the latest tory PM. But his biggest crime is cancelling 'Autumnwatch' a heinous act of barbarism. Worse than the nazis.
Now a David Attenborough episode on the environment not being shown as it offends the right (!). And Lineker follows a trail of news broadcasters who have offended big brother and quit or been dismissed. The make up of the board should be completely non-political and You would think that would have been obvious but no.
