29 posts in 3 years, yeah a real board stalwart.
 
They may well do, but he's a freelancer.

They can choose to try and end his contract with them before it's up but that isn't going to end very well.

He refused to apologise for what he said. Over to the Beeb. Like Toots and the Maytals said

“Pressure…oh pressure. Pressure gonna drop on you” 🤣

There are posters criticising attempts to “cancel” Lineker yet those same people are doing the exact same thing to a poster who happens to have a differnent viewpoint.

I'm not cancelling him, he's free to spout whatever rubbish he chooses, just like he is free to block Lineker on twitter. You are confusing 'cancelling' with 'can't be bothered to waste my time on an idiot'. They are very different things.

Why not ask the poster why they feel this way, shutting down debate by dismissing them as racist, an asshole etc etc is not going to make them change their mind just entrench their position even more.

They are defending calling another human a 'savage',, my experience is that people that proudly state that level of ignorance can't be resolved in a messageboard debate. I've never once seen a racist suddenly say, yes you are right, my racism was wrong.
 
Interestingly, the following paragraph is an extract from a BBC News article currently on their website. It’s in relation to Emily Maitlis stating that the BBC was fine with Lineker criticising the Qatar government but appears less open to criticism about our own:

However, this is arguably a false equivalence. Voicing an opinion on a government policy about migrant crossings, a divisive subject, is not the same thing as highlighting well-documented human rights breaches in Qatar, something which is a matter of fact.

Good to see BBC news journalists (who actually are bound by impartiality rules) remaining neutral in this issue and upholding the BBC’s reputation for impartiality. I’m sure the Daily Mail will be raging about this.

Isn't linekers issue the fact that these migrants are being subject to human rights abuses, as has been well documented the government want to withdraw from the European Court of Human Rights to allow them to legally abuse immigrants
