Gary Lineker being reined in

Surely no one will want to host/summarise this weekend. It's a poisoned chalice now.

Nailed on they will go with someone like Alex Scott to show how inclusive they are

BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of rightwing backlash​

Exclusive: Decision to make episode about natural destruction available only on iPlayer angers programme-makers
[Extract]

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press, the Guardian has been told.
The decision has angered the programme-makers and some insiders at the BBC, who fear the corporation has bowed to pressure from lobbying groups with “dinosaurian ways”.

The revelation about Attenborough’s programme comes at the end of a week in which another broadcaster, Gary Lineker, has been condemned by Conservative ministers for his criticism of the government’s immigration bill.
The fresh row focuses on Wild Isles, a highly anticipated new series looking at the beauty of nature in the British Isles, which will begin broadcasting on Sunday.
Narrated by David Attenborough, it is expected to be a hit, with five episodes scheduled to go out in primetime slots on BBC One.
A sixth episode has also been filmed, which is understood to be a stark look at the losses of nature in the UK and what has caused the declines. It is also understood to include some examples of rewilding, a concept that has been controversial in some rightwing circles.

I'll bring you a little bit of comfort here. The latest the GE is likely to be held is October 2024.

Nothing against her at all, but this has got Alex Scott written all over it, they’ve already fuc**ed up getting rid of Lineker and they want to show that they are inclusive
 
Those demanding censorship and silence of those calling out the undeniable truth are employing the same tactics and propaganda used in 1930`s Germany.

"Free speech" is "free" - so long as you agree with what we say!

"Germany Calling".
"Germany Calling".

His announcement 'Germany calling, Germany calling' was a familiar sound across the airwaves, introducing threats and misinformation which he broadcast from his Hamburg base. Joyce was originally an American citizen and lived in Britain before becoming a naturalised German citizen in 1940. He was hanged in London on January 3 1946 for betraying Britain.
