David Attenborough show kicked sideways to iPlayer

| 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. |

Not really "virtue signalling" if he puts his money where his mouth is and house immigrants in his home. |
He has done. |  |

The Left doesn't have the monopoly on decent human virtues. You have just proved yet again,what I said about the hypocrisy and intolerance of a lot on the Left. And notice I said a lot...not all. That the difference between you and me. |
I'm not going to argue with you, however much I'd like to. But I must tell you what you already know; you don't know me from Adam. |  | | |

I think RuPaul will do a fine job as Lineker's replacement. |  |

I feel the need to point out something about what he said.
THe Germans ( and Poles actually) had looked at a policy to compulsorily relocate Jews to Madagascar, amongst other possible locations, before going for the “ final solution” of the Holocaust. Thus there’s a direct link with the current policies and German policies at that time.
We all come to this discussion from a variety of standpoints. The illegal migration issue is far more complex than you would think if you consider Braverman’s equally insulting nonsense. If she is given the boot ( won’t happen) fair enough. There are decent Conservatives too. Until then, Im with Gary, |  | | |

2, fully veted migrants for two weeks. Not 2 off the beach at dungeness. |
Sorry I thought the word virtue signalling was for people who said stuff, often on social media, but didn't actually back it up with actions. As far as I can see, whether they're vetted or not is irrelevant, he's backing up what he says with actions. By all means say he's still wrong to say what he said but I don't think virtue signalling applies to him. |  | | |

He could have housed a lot more with the millions in tax he attempted to avoid paying.
This is a highly complex issue but unfortunately this kind of media storm just oversimplifies it. Of course there are many genuine people seeking asylum, but there are also a lot of economic migrants crossing the channel from what is a country that does offer safe asylum.
All that notwithstanding, we shouldn't be encouraging people from undertaking a dangerous journey, particularly those with young children. Lineker invoking Godwin's law is such a gross oversimplification that it doesn't help anyone, apart from whoever's waiting in the wings to present MOTD in his absence. | | | |

It was a general observation...like a lot on social media(especially Celebs). In this case, I'll grudgingly agree...it isn't applicable.That doesn't mean he doesn't VS on lots of other "trendy" issues. Like I say, he only one of many. Too many people think, their opinion is the only one that is important 🤔 | | | |

If you work for the Beeb u have to be impartial. If he wants to air an opinion, which is his right, then he could work for Daily Mail or The Guardian, but not the Beeb.
Besides, he is of questionable character anyway, tries it on with anything allegedly! |
Think that’s his brother you’re thinking of. | | | |

Which is totally irrelevant. |  |

If he had supported the government so still speaking out and not being impartial then he'd still be in a job
Who knew the right were so woke and in support of cancel culture |  | | |

Gary Lineker can hardly be classed as "culture".On a Petri Dish perhaps.... | |

All three of them fell over themselves getting to Qatar though. |
Bering a hypocrite isn's a sackable offence is it?
all 3 of them were on air speaking about human rights issues in Qatar on the show which was fine but they can't say anything on twitter about it. It's a farce | | | |

Seems not. Waste of time trying to have a debate with most of them. QPR related matters for me from now on. [Post edited 10 Mar 2023 19:42]

I just want to state that, in spite of any approaches made, I also will not be appearing on MOTD this weekend. | | | |

Personally i don't really care if Lineker is a right wing jug eared cnt or a a left wing one, people shouldn't be forced out of their job for having an opinion against whichever party is in government whether you agree with them or not
If he said something grossly offensive he'd deserve the boot but this is all so pathetic | | | |
