Alex Scott has said she supports Lineker now and will not appear on Motd. Showing the solidarity they had in qatar when the spoke out, but still went and collected a nice little earner. Principles are funny.
Same here. Not watched it for years. Past it's sell by. The sooner it's canned as part of BBC cut backs the betterExcellent news. Far too much talking and not enough action. Always used to watch it as a kid. Lost interest with the current crop of pundits.
The BBC is not impartial with a Chairman in Richard Sharp who only got the job because he facilitated Johnson's loan and a Director General in Tim Davie who has been a Tory councillor candidate and deputy chair of his local party, not to mention all the other Tories on the board like Lord Grade and Robbie Gibb. Impartial? Like Fiona Bruce who only last Thursday excused Johnson's wife beating father because it was a one off. Like 'Lord' Sugar?I know this is going dangerously close to politics but it seems suspicious that when Lineker was tweeting about how rubbish Jeremy Corbyn was on Twitter the BBC bosses didn't seem to mind yet at soon as he criticises government policy he's told not to be political. Definitely couldn't have anything to do with the BBC appointing a former advisor to Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak as their chairman in 2021 (who has also donated £400k to the Conservative party) could it...
I've never seen the point of having pundits on MotD so if they'd been sacked for being a waste of money I'd be happy but the reason they're getting ousted is very worrying considering the BBC is meant to be impartial.
What exactly is the point of this? Clarification would be welcome to avoid the wrong interpretation, thank youCracked it!

You really think that?

Lineker was fully entitled to tweet as a private individual expressing an opinion. He is absolutely right, there are parallels with Nazi Germany and the UK is slipping into acceptance of fascism by the back door, exactly as happened in Germany. A good and close to home example will be that no doubt this post will be deleted for venturing into politics which the OP must have realised would happen because you cannot discuss this issue without a political dimension!
