Alex Scott has now pulled out of presenting a BBC show she does on Saturdays

Kelly Sommers has agreed to replace her 🙄

36 Tories have written to the BBC demanding an investigation into Gary Lineker's comments and a full apology

I cancelled my license fee direct debit last night. I'm beyond angry. I wish I could claim my money back for all the years I've paid it under the pretense of impartial broadcasting when really they're in the pockets of the Tories. How dare they force us to pay for this?

And now Sommers has pulled ot.

While we're all talking about Lineker we're not talking about the fact that yesterday Sunak agreed to pay half a billion pounds to France to do something they were doing for free before Brexit. Sunak said it was a deal between UK and France and Macron said no it's between the UK and the EU. Humiliation
Imagine if we had proper journalism in this country

Oh thank goodness 🥳

Before Brexit we were paying £350million a day to the EU so actually we are getting quite a good deal now, because almost none of that money is now going into the NHS.

Other pundits have pulled out now

Strike action for rich people!

Great stuff.

FF is now not going to air.

It's a proper crisis.

Just thought of this

This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'.

Supertanskiii

In the past 24hrs, the BBC made sure that everyone in Britain knows:

1. Their chair is a corrupt Tory donor.

1. Tory policy is horrific, their language is akin to 1930s Germany and many national treasures oppose it.

1. The Tories influence BBC output.

Beautiful own goal.

I can only conclude that it is Sue Gray's fault because she is a Labour party plant.

(I need to be careful with the use of the word plant, because we know that Boris spent his time in Downing Street watering plants).

And Jason Mohammad who presents Final Score has now said he will not be doing it this evening...

It's being replaced with Bargain Hunt 😲

Oh, the poor poor BBC

Is Corporal Jones manning the crisis desk at the BBC and charging around telling everyone not to panic?

It's all so badly handled.
All they had to say was we don't ageing GL's tweet and it would have been all but forgotten about.
Instead they gave in to pressure from GBeebies etc and revealed the scale of Tory control.

The BBC have now had to apologise for not properly challenging Nadine Dorries during an interview last week

Yes, I saw that last night. Worth putting on BBC thread...

Thank you @Piggywaspushed I've just borrowed that meme.

I understand 5 Live Sport has also been cancelled this afternoon

The football part of 5 live sport that is.

In support of Gary

The same words as 1930s

And here we have it... Bargain Hunt. No Football Focus today

Absolutely.

The more this government try and save themselves and control the narrative the further they dig themselves into a hole.

I was just coming on to ask this thanks @DuncinToffee . Really interesting to see that. Pretty much all 5Live sport is on Saturday is football for the whole day (and lots of tomorrow) this time of year.
