For saying what many of us believe, what absolute rubbish!

Have a look at the BBS which normally has ten times the number of active posters online at any one time as HOL and you will see that the majority of the posters seem to be to the left of Jeremy Corbyn and everything is the fault of this Tory government, probably even our loss to Manchester City Where the hell do these people sit/stand at Selhurst? Or do they never go and slate everyone from their high horses in Dulwich and Truro?

Arise Sir Gary, highest paid BBC 'contractor' and political commentator. And the BBC have relinquished control of World News, such as casualties in Ukraine, the Yemen conflict, Arms sold to Saudi Arabia, land grabbed and Palestinians killed by Israel. And any political 'stuff' in the UK. Let's see how Gary and his new contract are doing,... Edited by Forest Hillbilly (13 Mar 2023 12.24pm) when it comes to money, nothing surprises me.........

He's smart enough to parlay a certain perceived amiability and the ability to ask his mates a few obvious questions into a job which makes him the BBCs highest paid employee and flies him round the world watching football matches. Exactly. I wouldn’t miss him. Provides one smug joke at the start and the rest is forgettable. If it wasn’t for the fact they can only show x minutes of highlights so take the option of showing more minutes (of the same clips?) they wouldn’t spend so much time talking and using the same superlatives every time.

So considering that Mark Chapman and all the paid pundits walked out in solidarity must mean they are all left wing Marxists as well? I would be interested to hear from the anti Lineker brigade what right wing football pundits they would like to see presenting MOTD. Ron Atkinson and Jimmy Hill. John Terry as guest.

I would like to see Lineker removed and couldn't care less what politics his replacement might support as long as he didn't use his high profile position in the BBC to promote them Exactly the point.

Many well known people express their opinions on Twitter. People can read, or ignore. That's their choice. It would be a restriction of free speech if only the unknown could express themselves. You can ignore Lineker, just as you can ignore anyone on Twitter or here. You are not that stupid to understand the focus is on those paid by a state broadcaster and effectively taxpayers. Therefore join an independent if you have a social media addiction

So basically virtue signalling. ‘Look at what I’m saying’, rather than entering into a debate directly with the person involved in making the decisions that Lineker disagrees with. I’m pretty sure that somebody with a high profile like his could get an audience with the Government to put his case. But it’s all about ‘likes’ with the narcissistic. Yep, Gary is a child like narcissist. It’s a complicated issue that needs addressing, especially considering the long term as well as short term. Gary is acting like a primary school child.

Still coming from France. I go on holiday there sometimes, no doubt so do you. Not likely as it's obviously not a safe country

The basic one thing everyone needs to remember about asylum seekers is that they're coming from France. That's the one thing to keep in mind. They're not fleeing anywhere except France. But they do have all those rich sauces to contend with in France.

But they do have all those rich sauces to contend with in France. And everyone gets fed up with being told that their cuisine is inferior. I'm starting to see the asylum seekers' point of view now. 1-0 to Lineker. I still wonder have the BBC booked him - or just had a word?

Meanwhile…Fiona Bruce has had to step down from her role as an ambassador for Refuge due to words she said during question time about domestic violence. Unfortunately she was legally obliged to say certain phrases during a debate and Twitterworld went bonkers over it. I will repeat “phrases she was legally obliged to say”… I guess you're contracted to say certain things in certain programmes due to the perceived balance of the BBC. I wouldn't think that MoTD is quite the same. MoTD was always fair to every team
