Politics and free speech aside, I'm looking forward to an improved show this week.

 

[99 Problems]

Looks like the whole MOTD crew out in support of Lineker…embarrassing by the BBC.

Hard to imagine how the BBC could’ve handled this worse.

Sounds like there won't be a show at this rate.

Hard to imagine how the BBC could’ve handled this worse.

Alan Sugar can tweet basically campaigning for a political party but Lineker says something contrary to the sitting government and all of a sudden BBC employees shouldn't be engaging in politics.

It's just going to be highlights

License fee payers are mostly happy though.

You mean Tories. Cruella supporting tories

 

[Bojan KantKick]

No. Anyone with half a brain.

No. Anyone with half a brain.

Nah. Anyone with a xenophobic brain you mean. So yeah, Cruella supporting tories.

Wouldn't call all the Jews living in the UK xenophobic but that's just me. Maybe you have a better perspective from Ireland. I guess they all could be tories but I wouldn't blame after Corbyn wanted them gone. Another who Lineker vocally supported.

He knows the BBC rules and has been on the edge of them for years thinking his MOTD fame would make him immune to consequences.

Free speech is not dead but it is not free of consequence. Chat shit, get banged. **** around, find out.

Alan Sugar knows the rules and that's perfectly fine because he supports the Tories. Tories proclaim to be free speech warriors but then actively rail against anyone who doesn't support their view and want them silenced. Odd that one hey...

Um. Lord Sugar was a member of Labour until 2015. Since then he’s been independent.

Was. Since then he's endorsed Boris and the Conservative party at the 2019 election.

What did he say? Did he call people nazis? Are you really resorting to whataboutery? Lineker can say what he wants and deal with the consequences of his actions like any other Joe Public.

He posted a picture of Jeremy Corbyn in a car with Adolf Hitler.

Rules for Tories: None
Rules for people who don't agree with Tories: Many.


This has been going on for far too long in all countries, conservatives are thin skinned fascists.

I am aware, and that’s more down to his disdain for then leader Corbyn. He tweeted bile about that man weekly.

1 election doesn’t define a man. I would say I am mostly a Lib voter but Andrews got my vote in November. Doesn’t make me a labor man.

Well he should have been punished for that. How does that make him a Conservative?

All these generalisations you vomit up. Why? It is unbecoming.

No. Anyone with half a brain.

Hey? People are happy he's been dumped?

But he wasn't..

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Most people don't give a shit about him or MOTD. He can apologise whenever he wants and rejoin the program. The highest BBC salaries are published every year and he's always at the top. Nobody is shedding a tear for him except some wet wipes on twitter.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

But he wasn't..

He apologised and deleted his tweet.

Just the highlights.

Linekar, Shearer, Murphy etc dont really add anything to the show for me, I generally fast forward when they do their bit.

Oh I know your a lib voter. Just like sugar definitely is a conservative voter now

I find that hard to believe
