do you honestly think ''1930's Germany' was a reference to their gardening club ?

i will not make the mistake of arguing with a zealot, nor with Lineker.

The rhetoric existed before the nazis took power 1933, it just facilitated their rise. And as it went unchecked it went from "stop <insert marginalised group here> coming into our country and taking our jobs" to evermore extreme language, and then, in the end, extreme action. We're just at the top of that slippery slope and if we don't challenge the extremist language being used by the government then we may find ourselves going down that slope.

I literally wrote a 5000 word paper on "The Concept of the Political" by Carl Schmitt last year, while he wasn't upon publication he was later an unrepentant nazi and his book was essentially the blueprint for what the Tories are doing now.

Just to be clear I don't intend to make fun of people who are ignorant but open to learning more. It's the willfully ignorant amti-intellectuals that reject facts and evidence as "woke lefty nonsense" that I'm happy to s*** on.

Awww!

You probably just need a bed time story and a nice sleep.

Surely the issue is that Lineker signed a contract with a company who don't allow it's employees to do what he did.
If getting his opinion known is so important to him there are several other broadcasters who would let him tweet to his hearts content.

Nah just the tories to f*** off out of the government and out of the BBC. Snowflakes who can't handle the slightest bit of criticism.

Because Leftists handle opinions so well.

I needed a bit of cheering up after the game.
Please visit the politics threads more often. We all need a laugh.

Thanks.

Or the kids are risk takers and glad that they are. Better than some of the virtual traffic inspectors around.

If they had done that immediately then it would still be hypocritical given what they allow their right wing presenters to say, but may have been easier to explain. The fact they were willing to let it die down until hard right MPs complained to the Tory stooges in charge of the BBC that they had sudden heel turn, is the problem. And now Rishi is desperately backpedalling and trying to distance the government from it because it's backfired and they've been found out.

He's the one who said his kids are young and impressionable but are clearly using twitter if they're seeing Lineker's tweets.

If he genuinely thinks a couple of tweets from a former footballer-turned-crisp salesman is going to turn his kids into woke lefty transgender drag queens, then maybe his kids aren't ready for the internet. Or he should supervise them and make sure they only go on websites he approves of, like Britain First or Stormfront.

Always said Tim Davie was not strong enough to run the BBC. Seen as a nice soft pick as a Tory party member, but has done nothing but apologise for the BBC since taking the role and at the first instance his paymaster yank his chain he messes it up.

EDIT : I see Davie has managed to find something to apologise about [again].

What do they allow their right wing presenters to say?

Andrew Neil, when he was on the BBC, was constantly spouting right wing rhetoric on Twitter (this as a *political presenter*). Alan Sugar is still hosting the Apprentice and yet goes on Twitter and urges people to vote Tory. Lineker hasn't done anything of the sort (the closest he got was saying Labour need to "bin Corbyn" which wasn't punished by the BBC).

Then of course they let Fiona Bruce openly excuse domestic abuse from Stanley Johnson on Question Time on Thursday (dismissing it as a "one-off" ).

Jeremy Clarkson for years was on the BBC and had a column in the Sun.

EDIT this is what the BBC said about Andrew Neil's multiple discretions.

In a reply, a BBC spokesperson had written: ‘Andrew is a freelancer and his Twitter account is a personal one – the BBC is not responsible for its content.’

It continued: ‘When carrying out his responsibilities for the BBC, he always adheres to the same rules of impartiality as all other presenters.’
