Anything that helps to stem the aggression of China in the Indo-Pacific region is a good thing.
Hopefully Biden will do us the honour of learning our PM's name this time. Referring to Rishi Sunak as Rashid Sanook really does not instill confidence in his cognitive functions. Come on Joe, it's only 2 words. Not too hard to remember.

I rather hope Lineker takes this to court, but I suspect the BBC will see sense and stop censoring Lineker.
I rather hope he'll go the same way as Maitlis and leave the BBC. For all her politically biased rants against the government, at least she had the courage of her convictions to do the right thing. Maybe he can go back to advertising junk food to kids, or maybe another gig in Qatar?
Given his colossal salary (paid for under threat of jail by pensioners who cannot even afford to heat their homes) he'll probably fight it tooth and nail.

Perhaps Piers Morgan should be sent to Rwanda ?
Why would they do that? He is a legal citizen of the UK, not an illegal asylum immigrant.
This isn't North Korea where you can be expelled for holding the wrong opinion. Yet....

Exactly, and it's the government preaching its ideology via the BBC
So the government is telling Gary to compare the government's policy to Nazis.
Got it...
The BBC is a hard left organization. Gary Lineker has become their chief political spokesman. Pretty much everything he preaches is left wing ideology and anti Tory. Claiming the government preaches it's ideology via the BBC is gaslighting of the highest order.

Half rack of pork ribs with BBQ sauce just went from 450 Baht to 699 Baht in one of my local haunts in Bangkok. That's over 16 quid. Hardly a cheap meal. If I'd wanted a bottle of wine that would have been another 1000 Baht.
Thailand is cheap if you want to live in a hovel, ride a Honda Wave and eat chicken fried rice. Otherwise, not so much.

Do stop with this deflection of assumptions on who the migrants are or why they are coming.
The subject under discussion is the censoring of Gary Lineker for speaking up against the language used by Government in reference to migrants.
It's simple isn't it. His employment contract says he shouldn't speak out on political issues.
It's like if your contract says you must wear a green shirt. If you detest green shirts, you are perfectly free to go and work elsewhere.
He signed the contract, so he should keep his mouth shut. Funny how you're suddenly pro free speech without any consequences.
Taxing the public under the threat of jail time to run a state TV station that preaches a particular political ideology to the masses that pay their huge salaries sounds like something that would happen in China or N.Korea. Actually, now I'm starting to see why you approve of it.

Ngozi was initially evasive and stated her charity location , that was because she was cosplaying as being African and didn't want to reveal that she wasn't from Africa at all and that she was just dressed as being an African .
Correct. Lady Hussey has a lot of experience working with African communities and charities and would have spotted Ngozi's (Marlene's) Cosplay a mile off.
She was curious about this fake act. Then of course Marlene didn't want to say where she was really from because she is a fraud. Just like her charity.
Lady Hussey be like...

A long winded way of saying "I have none."?
Someone on here once asked how I knew Ash Sarkar was a communist.
I provided quotes from her saying "I am literally a Communist, you idiot". It still wasn't enough.
So forgive me if I don't waste my day finding quotes from Gary saying "I am literally a socialist". It wouldn't be enough anyway.
Check his twitter feed if you think he isn't.
Either way, I'm off for a massage. Ciao.

I don't believe the UK has introduced socialist identity cards (and the associated social credit bonus points) yet.
You might to wait for a Labour election win for that little fantasy to materialize.

It's clearly not about the BBC's prejudices. If that were the case, then the "left wing Labour voters at the BBC wouldn't have penalized Linaker in the first place.
The only reason he was finally penalized was that this was about his 50th offence and the public pressure via social media was becoming impossible to ignore.
He is paid handsomely by taxpayers to be a football pundit, not to pontificate on leftist political ideology.
As I said before, he could work privately at The Guardian for 10% of his publicly funded salary if he wants to do that.

If viewers are upset at Gary being missing from MOTD, at least they have the Shamima Begum podcast series available.
Fortunately we can just stop paying for the service if we don't like it.
Oh... wait a minute.

There is a clause for social media, I just posted a link, however its complicated as he's also self employed and there is a dispute going on regards that and his tax. The BBC insisted some of its top paid stars go self employed, its led to big tax problems apparently. This from yesterday.
If you're self employed are you also bound by the impartiality clauses?
Inside Gary Lineker’s tax clash with the BBC, which has left him paying hundreds of thousands in legal fees
There’s more to the row than tweets: Gary Lineker and the BBC are at loggerheads over his clash with HMRC
https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/gary-lineker-tax-clash-bbc-paying-legal-fees-2201702
Yes he is self employed to minimize the tax he pays. While collecting millions in salary from poor, working class taxpayers under the threat of jail, all while driving a 5 litre Benz around London and lording it up in Qatar during the world cup.
A true socialist. Let's all have a round of applause for Gary.

5 minutes ago, Fat is a type of crazy said:I don't know Lineker from a bar of soap but I think it is not totally unreasonable for high profile media personalities to be asked to limit expressing their private opinions on highly contentious issues. If I was boss I would limit it to those in the newsroom though, and not limit the ability of other hosts or entertainers such as those relating to soccer shows, to have their say.
The point is he is working for the BBC. Funded by the taxpayer.
If he wants to work for Talk Radio he can say what he wants.
But then he wouldn't get paid millions from the taxpayers who have to pay his salary under threat of jail sentences.
Personally I would defund the BBC and then they can raise their own money and preach left wing Woke rubbish all day.
Their content is garbage. They'd never survive.

Classic hypocritical champagne socialist.
He was quite happy to cover the world cup in Qatar.
Goes on about climate change and drives a 5 litre Benz.
He should quit the BBC and go work for The Guardian if he wants to write this tosh.

Censoring people for speaking up against the Government…. Now what was that about 1930s Germany?
You can't tax people for a broadcast under the threat of jail and then use the platform to push political agendas.
If he wants to be a political activist he is free to get another job.

Lineker broke them, according to the BBC themselves.
Comparing the government to 1930's Nazi Germany is hardly impartial.

Merely proves that 10% was complete hyperbole. Which proves my point that BOTH sides exaggerated.
The fact that the 4% was due to Covid lockdowns is neither here nor there.

Good.
Linekar isn't above the rules. Everyone knows everyone at the BBC is a left wing Labour voter (and if they're not, they soon become one if they wish to keep their job) but as a publicly funded organization they need to display impartiality.
Maitlis was a disgrace and now Linekar has taken over the virtue signaling duties. Hopefully he is sacked for constantly breaking his employment contract.
Just because you're so deluded that you think you have the moral high ground, doesn't mean the rules do not apply to you.
The BBC loves diversity, except of course diversity of opinion.

6 hours ago, sandyf said:It is not about democracy. The population were mislead into voting for potential gain, they were never advised about the potential pain.
Nonsense. The Remain side went completely overboard on the pain. 10% drop in GDP, outbreaks of gonorrhea, they had all kinds of apocalyptic scenarios to try and scare people into staying in the clutches of the corrupt EU.
6 hours ago, sandyf said:The whole fiasco has led the UK into advocating the breach of international conventions and the eventual breakup of the undemocratic "Union" known as the UK.
Breakup of the UK? No chance. Especially now Sturgeon has died on the hill of putting male rapists into female prisons. All that work to try to get Scottish Independence and then she blows it all defending the rights of a convicted rapist. Absolute lunacy.

Gary Lineker told to step back from presenting Match of the Day
in World News
Posted
Ah so that's why the likes of Maitlis and Lineker were/are always attacking the government. It's because they are secretly acting as propaganda for them. I guess they just don't know that propaganda is supposed to promote something, not attack it.
It all makes perfect sense now. Thanks for explaining.
