What is going on at the BBC right now?

[LookItsMeAgain]

What with the news breaking today ( 10/03/23) that Lineker is to step back from presenting Match of the Day and now Ian Wright is also not going to appear on the show in solidarity. They also have said that they will not air a David Attenborough (what the hell did he do/say that pushed their buttons) episode due to fears of a right-wing backlash. On top of that, Fiona Bruce has said that Stanley Johnson 'only' broke his wife's nose once (I mean just how many times is too many, I ask ye).

What the hell is going on at the BBC right now????

Just wondering if anyone can make sense of what is going on in the BBC at the moment.

it's odd that lineker doesn't speak out about men in women's sport
he's just saying whatever will give him virtue points

I don't pay my Licence to hear him spout offensive language. Bout time someone shut him up. Obvious bias.

Too long the BBC has been pandering to the leftist elites and woke London Glitterati. At last the shoe's on the other foot.

I know!

Such hypocrisy.

He should apologise to all those he has offended by his false equivalence with Germany, grovel to the BBC and stick to commentating on goals and passes.

Name calling isn’t necessary.

Just stick to Suella Braverman’s lies and policies built on lies.

The Tories are tightening their grip on the media, ahead of the next general election, of course.
They're hoping we've all got short memories

You have got short memories!

March 2018
Alan Sugar has deleted a tweet depicting Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in a car alongside Adolf Hitler, following calls for him to "disown" it.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell had appealed to the businessman to delete it and "bring people together".

John Mann, chairman of the all-party group against anti-Semitism, said the use of Nazi comparators was "demeaning, unwarranted and dangerous".

Shadow cabinet minister Jon Trickett called the post "grossly misjudged and deeply offensive".

Well he wouldn’t would he? There is nothing more sexist, racist or intolerant than a left wing man. Look at James O’B, Owen Jones, Prince Harry… all the same 🤷🏼‍♀️

@EsmaCannonball not everything revolves round trans folk ?🙄 If he'd supported Bravermann's policy I guess loads of people would have disagreed certainly. Not so much the BBC. And the RW press would have lauded him that's for sure.....

Sexist? How so? She is being discriminated against because she is a racist cunt, not because she is a woman.

Did you miss the statement by Jewish organisations about the Home Sec?

As I said earlier let's hope the BBC bring some fresh talent in and show these prats and their egos the door. How hard can it be to comment on a footie match.

I mean. That’s just the biggest load of absolute nonsense I have ever heard. If you said that to me in person, I would laugh in your face.

What nonsense.

Evidence please.

What he put on Twitter doesn't have anything to do with your licence fee. He didn't say it shout loud, so you aren't hearing it. Apart from the BBCs own weird desire to make it their top news story.

Language like that from one woman to another is depressing - or are you a man?

Evidence please.

I achieved a new year resolution (for once) this year and scrapped my tv licence. Haven’t missed it one bit. I only watch streamed stuff specifically of my choosing now.

Immigration and the problem of the small boat crossings is a very difficult problem to solve and Suella Braverman is doing her best. Unfortunately Braverman's best isn't very good. Neither was Priti Patel's.

Such a pity that the Tory party have nailed their colours to that mast - or dinghy.

So true and I'm amazed that people on this thread think he's sincere- utter bollocks
another irony is that the worst anti-semitism is coming from the supposed left/far left- again, I don't suppose our political hero, Lineker, will have much to say about that

'Did you miss the statement by Jewish organisations about the Home Sec?'

Again, we aren't talking about the home sec we are talking about the BBC and Lineker's offensive Tweets.

The Nazis took over the media. This is what's happening to the BBC. They are cowards. It's taken a football pundit to state that we have a fascist government. Shame on the labour party. This is going to get bigger. The government are trying to shut the voice of national icon Sir David Attenborough. Absolutely disgusting. Call this government what they are -FASCIST.

Give it a go. See how you go.

He isn't a commentator FYI.

Really, all this is about sneering at football, isn't it...

Am I the only person who's never watched MOTD?

Agree on this

They told the most appalling lies about the young Jewish people who were attacked on Oxford Street and they never really apologised for it or retracted it, even when it was proved to be bullshit.

Will never trust them.

Are you implying that women should support racism if it comes from another woman, cos - woman? Really??

If you tolerate this then your children will be next...

Absolutely. BBC definition of “impartiality “ is not saying anything against the current government.

GL being suspended is just going to put the spotlight back on the fact that the BBC is headed by a Tory crony. Corrupt as fuck.
