Match of the Day

Because they've been leaned on by the government. Why did they say not 24 hours prior that he wasn't going to be stood down then changed their position?

 

Or more likely, the legal teams had to look at things first....

 

So why make any comment until then?

 

Because you are comparing apples with oranges.

Lineker: The government are Nazis.
BBCPerson2: I support the government

You don't think one statement is stronger than the other? You don't think they'd get a different reaction at a disciplinary meeting?

You think the BBC is favouring a tory government, I don't.

 

Did Lineker say the government are Nazis? Must have missed that tweet from him, do you have a screenshot?

You don't think Sugar tweeting a cartoon of Corbyn in a car with Hitler is maybe just as if not worse?

 

Agree, that’s what I do.

 

Syd, can you please stop with this 'sweetie', 'petal', stuff. Makes you sound like a condescending prick.

HHH, I think you are massively overcomplicating things! Nobody is denying that there are multiple big problems currently, including the present government who I personally think have overseen a **** show for far too long (partly their own fault, partly not) .... hence Sunak's 5 promises. I don't think that anybody, again not least the government, is trying to make scapegoats out of the illegal immigrants / small boats / migrants (call them what you will) for 'all our woes' - it is just one issue among many that needs urgently fixing.

Back to Lineker. For me it isn't about political bias, it's simply about dredging up 30's Germany and all that was implicit in him doing so. Out of order, simple as.

 

Perhaps I'm being a bit condescending because the opposing views in this discussion are so painfully dumb. If you are so upset by it maybe sharpen up a bit dear.

 

I've no idea what he said I'm just joining in the fun based on what you said.

If Sugar did that then he should have been disciplined.

 

they would if they could get away with it

 

He isn’t the sharpest, Pete.

 

Should have been, but wasn't. Perhaps when considering that response we can get a clearer view than a hypothetical 'What if Lineker had called a Labour government Stalin'

 

Brady being a moron again.

 

You said: "Oh do they?"
I'm assuming you mean me saying "The BBC doesnt care whether he talks sense or nonsense"
rather than "they do care if he's being impartial or not" which would be what would follow if you were using English correctly

You also said: "That's interesting to hear. I'm glad you're across what they care about."
I was going by what the BBC responded to. They didnt mention whether he was talking nonsense or not but they did mention impartiality.

 

Syd, **** off.
You can't help yourself can you.

 

No it's not dumb, it's just a different opinion to yours and those on the far left and far right, need to learn, understand and more importantly accept that others see things differently and have different opinions to theirs without the name calling and insults

 

No I still think he would have been.

 

Nope!

Brush up on your countries position on things, don't let an antipodean do it for you. You'll be better for it sweetie.

 

Haha nah mate it's not just a different opinion to yours, it's people on the right refusing to believe that maybe they're the ****s. Have a good one mate I'm out of this conversation, OLM has put it perfectly.
