BOLLOX !

 

Why would you say "Bollox" - I thought you were all for free speech ?

"Bollox" is your opinion. If you went on twitter and said I'm talking bollox, do you think it would be right that you could lose your job because of it ?


Nobody on this forum is a professional football manager as far as I'm aware but many are calling for RM's head. Should we lose our jobs because we offered an opinion on football that none of us are qualified to offer ?

 

I agree that Lineker is entitled to his opinion.

That said, he has signed a contract with the BBC that requires its ‘employees’ to display impartiality on what they say on any platforms, including social media.

Why is there such a clause?

Because the Beeb has to be impartial.

This isn’t the first time that Lineker has pushed/overstepped the boundary.

There was a time when (elite) sportsmen/women wanted politics kept out of sport - yet here is a former (elite) sportsman using his sporting status as a platform to make a political point.

 

You mean the same free speech that got so many cancelled that wouldn't cow down to the left woke agenda of the BBC and other far left media ? Who said no worst than lineker calling everyone that doesn't agree with him a Nazi !
Much better people than him cancelled in sport, film, tv, media etc by the woke lovies!

He had a contract not to bring the mob he works for into disrepute ha !, but couldn't keep his arrogant egotistical woke gob shut sucking up to his scum masters, And the other fake sycophant lovies that are to scared and greedy to say what they really feel playing along with the ruination of all that is good about this great country! while hes robbing £1m + of licence payers hard earned spouting his BS !!
**** him !

 

A comment on LinkedIn by a former BBC staffer, Matt Eastley

“The BBC must fight tooth and nail to uphold its principles of impartiality and if you even take a single penny of the corporation’s money - let alone the salary Gary Lineker is on - I believe you are duty bound to uphold those principles in any public proclamation you make regardless of whether you work in news or not.”

 

The world has changed though - quite a lot since social media has become the phenomenon it has. I find it hard to see how anyone can say the BBC has an agenda any more than GBNews for example. Everyone knows they are not impartial. It’s got to the point where I no longer believe anything anyone says - whether it’s a tv pundit, a journalist or politician on any form of social media. Fake news and conspiracy theorists have helped make it that way in part. Some people do what they are told, some people do what is right, or at least think is right.

For every post on Twitter backing up someone there is a post slagging them off.

People simply look for posts to back up their own beliefs rather than the facts.






....after all, I didn't see Ian Wright standing up when Neighbours was cancelled......

 

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU !

 

The spoilt biatches think by having nobody rabbiting between games on MOTD will bother everyone ! Will it f### ! And not having players post match chat and football focus today cut will somehow force everyone to accept linekers hate speach ! Theres access to footy all oved the net and other suppliers soif the wokeraty want to kill off MOTD that was going long before these far left bullies took over from way better guys like Jimmy Hill etc then they can look forward to a huge backlash from the working class that built this game before money men and ponses took over it !

 

Yes - the World has changed, and Yes - Lineker signed his contract knowing the rules re Social Media and other pronouncements

 

I know you're her biggest fan so let Katie explain some of it for you ?




This racist cnut can do one too !

 

I prefer MOTD now without those ****ers talking all over it, the crowds enough imo

Makes me wonder if lots of people are fiddling with gas and electric meters around the country due to the extortionate price hikes now ?
Of course that and others are probably due to faulty gas appliances, leaks etc, very sad occurrence.
