Gary 'the ears' Lineker is a prick - discuss

[meaningless-friendly]

You cunt!

[Tomo]

If there are no presenters can they make the highlights longer. Unless we lose of course.

Now you’re talking

Imagine Derek and Clive presenting MOTD

I'd pay my license for that alone.

The word 'unless' seems overly optimistic.

I'd like to see Alex Jones get the gig, going mental about VAR conspiracies.

Now that is meltdown I would watch. Got to be a Chelsea fan.

Can't say I support Lineker for his immigration views, but the way it's backfired on the Tories is just too good.

Basically me during most north London derbies.

This will escalate.

Interesting to see for how long suppott holds for Lineker from his fellow pundits.

All involved can get better pay elsewhere and what we have is the issue of impartiality and of course, the fear the BBC will have re: funding.

Hmmmmm....

But I love loyalty so good on all who have backed him.

It's a token gesture for Twitter likes.

If any of them came out and said they were resigning permanently, I could respect that.

Yup.

Pathetic and grotesque.

 

[Kaz Hirai]

Much more famous, and influential people than him have been cancelled because of a tweet. He should've known better

I really don't know why people employed in the entertainment industry can't help spouting their political views on the internet

 

[Billy Bob mate]

Sorry, Ill never mention champagne socialism ever again, my bad..

Ah so anyone whoever comes into money has to turn into a selfish prick in your world.

I got ya!

 

[cretinousgoat]

Yup.

Pathetic and grotesque.

Good description of Braverman and that disgusting immigration bill, I agree

 

[Blanchflower]

So when can you equate things to Nazi Germany? He was comparing language use in a historical context. Why is that so wildly inappropriate?

I don't think there's ever an acceptable time or subject.

This is hardly a "one strike and out" moment for Lineker though - he's been pushing the boundaries for at least a decade.

Shut it, cret, you infernal pussyclaat.

 

[mummy]

Thank you for that. Well worth listening to - and bang on the point.

Campbell is a cunt!
See my comments on his role leading up to the illegal Iraq war

And I saw that interview today where he completely bullied the interviewer

The problem with your argument about it backfiring on the Tories as they’re saying that the BBC is a Labour mouthpiece

You could debate that from both sides and I wish that any government with balls would defund the whole rotten corporation

I won’t hold my breath!

 

[mummy]

There are plenty of examples of people who aren't impartial working at the BBC.

The problem is criticizing the government. If he praised them, he'd still be hosting tomorrow.

This ^

Seriously? Nazi Germany is a massive warning from history, the biggest in modern times by far, that's why it's used as a comparison. And so it should be.
