The government’s tactics are straight out of the facists’s playbook from the early 1930s — dehumanising people, shutting down protest, rampant corruption, etc, etc. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is probably pretty convenient for the BBC.

SectionDJambo Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This decision by the BBC is going to bite them and Braverman. The scrutiny of other BBC presenters, by the left wing and independent media is going to be relentless. Like him or not, Lineker did not compare the government with the Nazi regime of the 1930s and 1940s. He expressed concern at similarities between the narrative of Braverman to the kind used by the Nazis, in the 1930s, demonising a group of people to stoke up fear and violence towards those people for political gain. We’ve already had the idiots, who soak up the kind of language Braverman has been using, attacking accommodation being used to house the migrants meantime. Maybe if Braverman concentrated on getting her asylum claim procedure managing to process more than 1 a week, whilst the waiting list has reached 160,000, the situation would be remedied without all of the acrimony that she seems to revel in.

Yep. This will hurt the BBC more than it will Lineker. And, although not as important, won’t be surprised to see some football clubs banning the BBC for a while.

The prick jumped in with two feet This week, scholars and a holocaust survivor did just that. It’s important we listen to them, rather than downplay that as it’s extremely serious. If the government don’t want to be compared to Nazi’s, then maybe they should stop behaving like them? 🤷♂️ I will note, the above is all very much shed territory, but back on topic, the BBC are a total relic full of dinosaurs. It’s no wonder so many happily dodge the license fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Why the feck does a Sports presenter need to be impartial on his personal twitter feed? A political presenter fine (you can criticise politicians and edit the Spectator fine though) but this is just an orchestrated outrage campaign to deflect attention from another grubby Tory policy.
