Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

[Wolf Hunting]

Apparently Lineker has hinted 'he wont be banned and will be presenting MOTD tonight'.

 

[Keef]

So essentially it hasn't been 'pulled', they were aware of the content and decided not to broadcast it with the rest of the series of which it was part? So not pulled at all then...

More likely not shown on bbc 1 due to it being sponsored content, you know advertising the RSPB/WWF thus breaking guidelines on advertising on the bbc.

Not a regular listener but there seems to be some weird sht on Radio 5 now when it should be Colin Murray and Fighting Talk. The leadership of the BBC have really handled this well haven’t they…

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Also, Chris Packham has suggested The Apprentice should be pulled because Alan Sugar frequently takes pot shots in social media at political figures etc.
Seemingly, the reason the BBC cant/wont pull Sugar is because whilst Lineker works for the BBC, MGM own The Apprentice and the BBC just buy it in.

 

[Mel Evo]

Putting the politics to one side, surely this has to end quickly now with the resignation of enough people in the leadership group? Regardless of the rights and wrongs they’ve lost control of the schedule and it’s spinning out of control. Tough luck old chum, nothing personal, you’re the business party after all, there’s the door: fck off.

Gary Lineker works for the beeb on a freelance basis.

Seemingly, the reason the BBC cant/wont pull Sugar is because whilst Lineker works for the BBC, MGM own The Apprentice and the BBC just buy it in.

The BBC made Sir Twatalot attend an unconscious bias course after he compared the Senegal football team to the people who sell dodgy sunglasses on Spanish beaches

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Not sure how the BBC resolve this without backing down. They’ve proper fucked it.

 

[Kenny]

All the coverage on Five Live this afternoon might be binned as well

 

[Mel Evo]

Will 5 Live Sport even be starting in a minute…?

 

[Mel Evo]

No

 

[Mel Evo]

They’ve lost control of the fire. They need Red Adair in there.

Wait till the players/managers start giving interviews to other outlets.

I live in hope that this bizarre situation continues to escalate with an overwhelming groundswell of support for Lineker leading to an overwhelming popular public opinion that we're not the kinda country these vile tories on the extreme right of the party think we are in how they're trying to model the country.

 

[Keef]

Be brilliant if after everything else the government has done corruption wise and shafting the country through austerity , they were bought down by an ex footballer, he’d never have to buy another drink ever

Not a single one of them has disagreed with what lineker said, theyve only said than he shouldn't have said it. Kinda reinforces his point imho
