It’s a real pity that this post has caused so much niggle between so many (normally) even minded posters.

I feel a bit sad after wading through all of this if I’m honest.

Some of us constantly being derided as “Daily Mail readers”, just really puerile nonsense when many line me don’t even have a newspaper or in my case, I don’t even watch the news anymore unless it’s a major world event…….I no longer watch anything much that has political content, the only thing I’ve listened to really was Starmer’s big speech a week or two ago.

I actually commented on here in a positive way about what he’d said.

I’ve derided this shambolic Tory party constantly in recent times including my HS2 post.

I believe in immigration, I believe in a points based system and on a basis of our needs such as with fruit pickers etc.

As for Lineker, I believe that most of us will have worked for company’s where certain rules were written into your contract.

Stuff about your conduct and how you carried yourself and expectations to be met.

If I worked for a media organisation like Lineker or in many other high profile jobs I wouldn’t do any social media.

Lineker is fabulously wealthy and 62 years of age…….he has a lot to say on a lot of stuff on Twitter and given his wealth and position and time of life he really should respect his contract and wishes of his employer or he should resign and go to Aljazeera or suchlike and be free of constraints.

I just hope regular descents posters calm down a bit and if they don’t then maybe this thread should be closed.
