Forest Hillbilly Flag in a hidey-hole 12 Mar 23 1.51pm

on Saturday night when Match of the Day was replaced by a 20-minute programme which showed significantly truncated highlights - without commentary or punditry - of the day's six Premier League matches.

The new format nonetheless managed to attract 500,000 more viewers than the previous week, the corporation revealed on Sunday morning. It was watched by 2.6 million viewers, according to BARB overnight figures.

BBC looking to play hard-ball over this
I know who the losers are going to be

So Match of the Day has garnered more publicity regarding immigration, that any football. who was playing ? as if it matters

Worth noting the complete absence of BBC news coverage regarding the big anti-immigration protests in Dublin recently.

i was always tolerant of LGBTQ, but now it is looking more and more like an ideological power-grab. Sadiq Khan attempting to tell us all who is the boss.

a teacher in Ireland got thrown in jail , ultimately because his christian beliefs conflicted with the he/she/they pronoun madness.

Freedom of speech has been destroyed by the likes of Linekar. Putting a gagging order on everybody. He who lives by the gag, dies by the gag.

Pantomimes are out this Christmas,then.

There goes English culture.

More so if pantomime dames expected to be treated like women when they're offstage or referred to by different pronouns.

ah well, in fairness RTE didn't give much coverage to the angry mob of irish Patriots picketing outside the RTE offices

A mob baying for the closure of RTE.

'Revealed: child refugees will be detained or deported under small boats plan'.

How does Lineker's analogy look now.

I never knew Jews were rushing to get into Nazi Germany in boats. But the historical revisionism is quite fun.

Germany had a high Jewish population in the run up to the 1930s, many of whom fleeing Eastern Europe where the Soviets had essentially banned religion. The nazis fed on that, starting with saying "stop them coming in" and isolating them from the rest of society as "outsiders",then it became "ship them off an African country" (for them, Madagascar) before moving to just kill them as the Africa plan was unworkable.

So you can qualify that with how many immigrants have been granted asylum in the uk.
The way you are ranting is like no one gives a s***. These immigrants are primarily economic, looking for yes better prospects but rules are rules. How about you were taxed higher, making your life harder to fulfil your wishes. Alternatively the migrants were housed near you making it harder for schooling, doctors and other state services. Easy to rant when you arnt actually affected one jot. A bit like the multi millionaire Lineker and his fan cub bbc employees.

as far as i remember, there was not an epidemic or rapes & rape-gangs associated with this tragic movement of peoples ? nor do i recall kids concerts being bombed nor the London Tube being bombed ?

The Israeli's have accused Linekar of antiSemitism and i , for one, agree with them.

What Dyke said may have been true in his day but the BBC rules on impartiality have been tightened up since then due to what is sometimes referred to as the Lineker Effect after his past indiscretions

I read that too. So it seems there is a difference of opinion that needs to be sorted out. There is a dichotomy here that is interesting to observe. Those who believe that free speech ought to be an absolute right are caught between that and their instinctive loathing of Lineker's politics.

It does though seem to me to be an unworkable requirement that no-one in the BBC be allowed to comment, in their private capacity, on matters outside their own speciality. News and current affairs, fine. Everything else, no.

I think you'll find there were plenty of stories planted in the press to demonise them, blaming them for all manner of things from theft, to homosexuality, and yes, to child murder and rape. The examples are out there for this if you care to even try challenging your own twisted world view.

Over 9000 license fees go directly into Gary Lineker's pocket. The fact that the BBC's highest paid person is apparently exempt from it's own rules is ridiculous.

I expect it goes via their accounts department and payroll first, but I take the point!

We'll see if it's against their rules when this is all over.

Never mind all the free speech stuff.

Only a total moron thinks that you can just allow ever increasing illegal immigration, which is already over loading the system, and do nothing about it.
It is foolish ideological claptrap, and it would be remiss of the BBC and government if they allowed dim wits like Lineker to promote that stupidity.

Only a total moron thinks this is about the subject of Lineker's tweets. This is about whether he can tweet them, or not. The government cannot be, and hopefully is not, involved.
