Gary Lineker steps down from MOTD

[yorkie1999]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lineker actually turns up on an Amazon type football show like Jeremy clarkson did with top gear.

The BBC would surely be within their rights to suspend or sack all those that went awol today in support of Lineker, and probably should, breach of contract. This is a dispute between Lineker and the beeb. 

Probably be better if the twerp who decided to suspend Lineker and to escalate the situation resigns

[HybridFox]

This actually cracked me up. The thought of David Dickinson being cancelled 

[Raj]

BBC being impartial?

They didnt give a feck when Linekar hammered the Qataris about the WC

 

Lineker  hammers the UK Government  and he gets reprimanded.

 

BBC top man made a £400k donation to the Tory party.

 

This says it all.

 

FECK THE BBC.

 

The BBC Director General is a cvnt.(And an ex Tory Member)

Amazon don’t have the rights to show a highlights package

Hope this is the start of the downfall of the BBC and its Tory hierarchy.

It may be the beginning of the end for the chairman and DG, but it won’t be the downfall of the beeb ……

I don't care what era it is, who is in power, I don't believe that anyone has the right to turn up at these shores and claim asylum without going through the legal process.

PERIOD.

Turning up here by any way you can and claiming asylum is the legal process.

Some Con voters would vote to abolish football if it meant sticking it to the avocado eating wokerati.

I think this is probably how it went.

 

“Gary, we’re going to need you to tone down on your political social media presence, we’re are an organisation that needs to be seen as impartial and as a major face of the organisation, it isn’t good with your large following to be seen to attack the current government, can we count on you failing this down in the future.”

 

”no, I will continue to tweet what I like”.

 

”okay, you leave us with no choice then…”

 

for me, I don’t agree with linekers views, but he can say what he likes for me, however if the BBC is to be impartial, I can understand why he creates a problem for them. Id be happy if Lineker, Wright, Shearer and Scott were removed and their wages put towards giving OAP’s on state pensions a free TV licence.
 

Lineker has free speech, he can quit his £1,4m contract and say what he likes, liberties many don’t have.

That’d be a flight where you can present your documents and request a claim for asylum then, rather than paying people smugglers thousands to cross the channel, destroying your documentation and getting legal aid to fight the govt whilst getting hotel accommodation at the tax payers expense. Not that I blame the migrant, just that I doubt the legitimacy of the claim for asylum

Was joking earlier about how Lineker, Shearer and Wright could be the football equivalent of top gear...

They've closed all the safe routes, so it's the only way they can get here. Once they are here, if they claim asylum they aren't illegal. We should maybe try processing them quicker, rather than shoving them hotels for years on end. Blame the Tories for closing the routes, blame the tories for not processing claims quicker. None of this is the fault of the people on the boats even if their claim isn't legit. If its not legit we can send them back if we stopped dragging our feet over the processing.

For balance perhaps the BBC need to review if Lord Sugar leaves The Apprentice or bin the show

You are being gaslit beyond belief.  Lineker/Wright/Shearer's wasges are an absolute drop in the ocean to what the people running the news corps earn and they are the one setting the agenda on all this culture wars bollocks.  Give some of Sunak's money to pensioners, give some of Dacre's cash to those who can't feed themselves, even Alan Sugar can keep people warm over winter.

Let’s take this step by step. 
As far as I’ve read (you can prove me wrong) the 1951 refugee convention states you can get to a Country by any means necessary ad claim asylum, so why is flying here a problem? Because you need ID, that’s why. 
 

i don’t blame economic migrants for wanting to better their lives but that’s what many of these are, and a Country can’t have undocumented economic migrants coming into the country in uncontrolled numbers, the rate the population is increasing puts a strain on services.

 

even if you process these people straight away, where are they going to go? 

[TeamRocket]

Can I get refund on my TV licence?

I agree there’s an imbalance between the rich and the poor, and I’d like to see people not have to migrate for a better life, but my main concern is for myself, my family and my daughters future , then that of the people who have put into the system their whole lives.

Take a look at this interview with if you want to see what labours mass immigration policy was all about.
