O/T:-Gary Lineker

[OP67]

As the BBC is managed by Government puppets I'm afraid Gary is a gonna...!!

Yeah because the BBC are always backing the government

Lineker is turning into the next David Icke

[jackal2]

Of course he wouldn't. But the "free speech" brigade only espouse free speech when it applies to things they want to say.

If Gary Lineker had said what he said on a BBC programme then that would have been more of an issue, but really he's entitled to say whatever he likes on his own Twitter feed as long as he accepts that those reading his comments have an equal right to respond with praise or criticism as they wish.

I thought Stewart Lee (not noted for being a right-winger) summed up Gary Lineker best:

"My name is Gary Lineker. I like to wake up in the morning and send out a succession of tweets in support of broadly progressive causes. Then, in the afternoon, I like to relax with a great big bag of crisps.”

Out of interest, if the BBC are supposed to be impartial, why the f@ck would they back the government?

[Magpies1959]

Lol the BBC backing the government. Lineker is a smarmy nob, who couldn't even keep his promise of presenting Match of the Day in his pants, thank god. And took great enjoyment taking the pi*ss out of us after we lost to Swansea, classy... not.

[Elite_Pie]

Lol the BBC backing the government.

I also find it funny that the BBC should back the government. The general public don't, why should they?

Will you be going on bended knee* to Sir Stanley Johnson?

Obviously your bended knee would be in sycophantic deference rather than a BLM thing!

[lunaspie]

His bacon has been smoked to a crisp.

[Robertomac]

As usual with this government, all smokescreens. Whatever it is they're drawing your attention to, look the other way to see what it is they're trying to distract you from.

[Magpies1959]

I don't give a flying f*ck about Stanley Johnson, or any other politician for that matter. Try to keep way from the news now as most of it is sensationalised garbage. Enjoy GB News as at least you always get two sides to any news story with healthy adult debate.

They don't, that's my point

[Elite_Pie]

They don't, that's my point

But you seem to miss my point.

Why should any impartial judge back this corrupt bunch?

What have they done to deserve backing?
