He stated quite clearly that in his time as DG there was no such restriction placed on non news staff. Absolutely fantastic that the forum won't let you use Greg's last name. Presumably I can call him Greg Lesbian and that will be fine. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,268 Posted March 11, 2023 Freedom of speech most definitely isn't being eroded and it's on trend to have an opinion about anything nowadays and tell everyone about it as well. The issue here is that gov't has decided on a highly controversial immigration policy and as it transpires has encouraged the BBC, and its employees, not to have an opposing opinion on it. Not only has the language used by Lineker knocked them back a bit but also the timing couldn't be worse as the UK gifts £0.5bn to France to help implement this perceived Na zi policy. As usual with this government, yet another shambles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naturalcynic 642 Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Presumably all of these reporters, pundits and commentators who are refusing to work in “solidarity” with Lineker and who have decimated the BBC’s scheduled sports output this weekend are in breach of contract and will be liable for disciplinary action up to and including immediate dismissal.

Well b back 3,250 Posted March 11, 2023 2 hours ago, keelansgrandad said: Surely Lineker's opinion was correct. This Government just blames something or someone else for all of its failings to the people it purports to represent from the heart of their bottoms. Aren't we told it was Covid, the EU, Unions, Corbyn, Abbott, Russia, that had stopped the Tories sharing their greed amongst us hoi polloi? Wasn't Germany told that it was the Kaiser, Hindenburg, Jews, Gypsies, Union officials and the League of Nations fault for all their ills? That’s how I read Lineker’s tweet. Had as many stood by the people that commented against the language then, then just maybe Hitler may have been stopped before he really got started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
