David Attenborough show kicked sideways to iPlayer

What times we live in

I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool.

That is superb!!!

Thanks for the reply and the best wishes, Pugwash, and the same to you and yours, and thanks for taking it in the spirit intended. I couldn't have hoped for a more uplifting reply.

It's a husk of it's former self. The way some of the Left say that the Tories at the BBC are behind all this...is frankly delusional. I doubt there is more Left wing Public Broadcaster out side Russia. Eh Comrades !

Seems like I got my wish!

Expect the BBC to say: we’ve had loads of requests to keep the ‘footy only’ format and they’ll be a cull of pundits in due course.

Been out working in a blizzard all day so have only just got on this thread, don’t agree with a lot of Linekers politics but then I have a different political view to my mrs as well, I would just like to say that my Mate had been called out in his capacity as an RAC roadside bloke to Linekers mansion in Sunningdlale a few times and has found him to be a more than decent human being, given him signed photos for his daughter and has always thanked him and been grateful for the work he had done.
I find some of the personal abuse he’s getting a bit strange really, would be a weird world if we all had the same political view.

Can we just get this straight here, he did not directly compare the policy to Nazi Germany. What he said was:

"This is just an immeasurably cruel policy, directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s"

Sorry to hear about your sister Brian.

People s religious beliefs are often best left personal to them.

Kind of a Buddhist type philosophy by Hoddle with his own strange slant on it.

But yes clearly said with no realisation or consideration for people enduring poor health or dying a difficult death due to disability.

Consequences of whacky beliefs were not thought out by Hoddle.

Hope you remember happier days with your sister.

Good. With the snide presenter and cr*p pundits gone I might watch for the first time in years.

BBC crazy to pay Lineker that salary when so many could do the job.

If his contract said that he'd have been sacked years ago, he's not been sacked over this it's just a lot of noise to distract from the actual policy

Hardly, when you read what Lineker actually said it really wasn't anything to get angry about but we are now in a very mad world where the headlines about it using very different language is what has got people upset

Punditry is so boring these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if MOTD gets its biggest viewing figures in years tomorrow.

Did you know that Russia hasn't been even nominally Soviet or communist for over 30 years and is now run by a far right dictator?

If I'm not going to be allowed to talk semi-coherent bollocks then it's going to be a struggle. (TBH and ngl, as the kids say.)

I see there is now talk of players coming out in sympathy with Lineker.

As usual QPR are ahead of the trends, with our players having boycotted football for several months now.

Lineker is a freelance broadcaster for the BBC, not a permanent member of staff, and is not responsible for news or political content so does not need to adhere to the same rules on impartiality.

Carry on.....

Maybe he has been warned, and this is his final warning. I know little about employment law, so will leave that to others.

1930s Germany is primarily associated with the German Nazi party and Adolf Hitler. Hitler was Chancellor from January 1933. The Nuremberg race laws were effective from 1935. What language are we talking about if it isn’t that of the German Nazi party, Hitler, Goebbels and all the others.
