Gary Lineker being reined in

[Ingleby_Flash]

It’s a horrendous attack on free speech, they’ll be burning fûcking books next.

The Boro boys are on a bender
Alan Shearer's a free speech defender

 

[Unravel_Morrison]

The BBC and the Tories have totally messed up with this.

Which BBC executive will be willing to answer why they don't approve of anti-racism?

 

[dooderooni]

If the PL are serious about their stand against discrimination then they could leave MotD without any coverage.

 

[Unravel_Morrison]

I can see the show not going ahead tomorrow.

 

[sherlock]

I’m betting MotD will be taken off air completely tomorrow.

My money's on an extended highlights package without presenters or punditry.

The techies should weigh in too. Solidarity.

The techies should weigh in too. Solidarity.

I think that the presenters are all freelancers and the techies are contracted, so it's much harder for them to withdraw their labour.

Yup, their corruption is now being laid in front of the public. They've grossly underestimated the public and shown their inherent bias and corruption. I think this will cost people their jobs and I'm talking at exec level. It'll be crisis management mode right now.

Could you imagine the BBC trying to explain that everyone connected to MoD refused to deliver the show in solidarity with Gary Lineker?

I think that the presenters are all freelancers and the techies are contracted, so it's much harder for them to withdraw their labour.

Surely they have the right to withdraw their labour if they feel a colleague has been badly treated?

Fantastic,

 

[Randy]

Glad I don't fund them anymore.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Just notified the BBC that I will be happy to present match of the day tomorrow.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

You can imagine them sat going down their list and saying "I wonder what Bob Wilson is doing on Saturday."

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

I can see the show not going ahead tomorrow.

I really hope that is the case and continues to be until the BBC back down and apologise. This could backfire badly on the government

As usual, a few "you wouldn't have been asked anyway" and comments about not being the focus of attention in the replies.
Nice Bernie gif too.
