Then you will have no problem providing the clause number.

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.

Read the rules you posted, can’t see anything that prevents Lineker offering his personal opinions on his personal social media account.
If you believe such a clause exists, please identify it the rules you posted.
There is a clause for social media. Read it.

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.

Nothing to do with anybody’s taxes.
Doesn't matter. Read the rules. I posted them already.

22 minutes ago, Chomper Higgot said:Firstly the BBC has to say they have cause to censor Lineker, there may or may not be rules but their statement is one side of the coin, it doesn’t make it true.
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.

12 hours ago, RayC said:Just a mere 4% drop in GDP attributional to Brexit according to the OBR, so that's turned out ok.
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.

Yes, really. As those stats show it was rising every year since he became Mayor.
Obviously when everyone was locked down for the best part of 2 years due to Covid it dropped like a stone, same as vehicular deaths etc. Khan can't take the credit for that any more than he could be blamed for consumer spending decreasing in 2020.

Sadiq Khan has been an absolute disaster for London.
When he isn't virtue signalling about LGBTQ++ or pontificating about rejoining the EU, he can be spotted in a 3 car cavalcade on the way to the park to walk his dogs (despite trying to price everyone else out of their cars).
Meanwhile, knife crime is completely out of control.
He's also ruined the transport system while spending Billions on it.
It's a real shame Shaun Bailey didn't get in but London is full of lefty champagne socialists so they'll just have to wallow in their own mess a while longer.

Nothing will change.
Considering how much power he has, it's quite incredible how little he can achieve.

Strange title. This doesn't gut marriage equality as it could equally be applied to a biological male marrying a biological female.
Nobody should be forced to do something that is against their beliefs. Just like nobody should be forced to use Pronouns that they believe to be factually incorrect.

Says it all really.
It's sad how jealousy of Britain and it's royal family exposes itself so often. I guess when your "Royalty" is Kim Kardashian it must be painful to see ours.

5 hours ago, Credo said:I am sure Lady Hussey has a new-found respect for Harry and Meghan after she saw how fast the Royals would throw her under the bus.
As a lifelong servant of the Royal Family, I'm pretty sure Lady Hussey has nothing but contempt for the way that couple behaved during the last couple of years of The Queen and Prince Philip's life.
Accusing the family of racism and then refusing to name names (essentially casting doubt over everyone) was an incredibly cowardly act.
Collecting an award for fighting racism in the Royal Family weeks before confirming there actually was NO racism was unbelievably hypocritical. That they chose not to clear up the allegations until after the Queens death was a huge act of betrayal. What was it Harry said? "Silence is betrayal"? Well, he should know after leaving those allegations hanging out there in his Grandmother's final years

Not sure why the left are so astounded hearing that Tucker does not like Trump on a personal level that it is major headline news? All conservatives have their own ideas and tastes, they are not a homogenous hivemind leaping from one manufactured outrage to the next(eg Russia collusion/Musk/outrage over protecting kids from predators in schools/Kavanaugh/Carlson).
In my experience, the left are absolutely convinced that anyone to the right of Karl Marx loves Trump. Even when you tell them you don't, they are absolutely convinced that you have a picture of him on your bedside table and support everything he ever said.
It's a curious phenomenon. I can virtually guarantee that this post will be followed up with accusations that I secretly adore him. Well, maybe not now that I predicted it (although probably). ????

Then stop quoting me then.
You seem very confused. Maybe go back and re-read the thread slowly. You are the one blaming this all on men, not me.
Maybe you confused me quoting you with my actual opinions? Who knows...

Because you now seem to be agreeing with me that it's men that have been eroding womens rights for centuries NOT transgenders.

Since you now seem to be using my post as some sort or weird justification to your posts (and are insisting on apologies from Placeholder), are you willing to retract/apologies for your previous statement of 'actually a lot of the erosion of rights is due to the trans movement'?
Why would I retract that statement?

Well if calling people a liar on this form is a violation of the rules, it could be that it's not me but you who could be said to have committed that infraction. This is of a piece with your overwrought demand that I apologize. In short, it's laughable.
