Funny you say that... Listening to the radio phone ins this weekend, there were as many people calling in to say the BBC to "left leaning" as there were calling in to say it's too "right leaning" - both sides, equally puddled in my opinion. I did notice Fiona Bruce was coming in for a lot of stick though, as being particularly "right leaning" and always ensuring the Tories are "looked after" (I wouldn't know either way, as QT is just utter shit these days, and it basically looks like a shouting competition any time I see a bit of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not post if he hasn’t broken the rules then he should sue them? Oh and As for the first part that’s very much true. As for the BBC you have the right saying it’s left and the left saying it’s right which for me pretty much confirms it’s pretty centre.

I believe his media compnay does get paid by the government to advise them and works with them on media ads. To be honest, if the government came to me and paid us to work on their media campaigns, I'd bite their hands off, just another client. I don't think should stop a partner from working for the BBC. I think accusations of bias are a bit over-egged, you see what you want to see and if some people accusse the BBC of left-leaning bias, and another accuse them of right-leaning bias - then they are probably steering the ship ok.

It was just when you said “How does it feel lads? 💦”, on this football forum, I assumed you were talking to us. My bad. Good to see we’re in agreement then 👍 As for being cancelled on here. Grey was hounded out by some on here for things he said involving another poster. It does happen. Don't come on here often but recently, false aligations of racism towards certain posters seems acceptable on here. Shouldn't the accused involved be cancelled immediately or is it ok to falsely accuse someone with no evidence on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was more fun watching you getting in a twist all weekend. You went full circle from 'he's definitely broken the rules and you're all screeching'. To - 'well maybe the guidance is pretty vague after all and he could sue them'. Lovely. Totally agree re the BBC - they get an equal amount of complaints for being biased from lefties as right-wingers apparently. You don't much better evidence of them being centre than that. Strange that folk like Bolty still think their biased. It will all be old news after tomorrow anyway, a few months at least. I'll see you then 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't the accused involved be cancelled immediately or is it ok to falsely accuse someone with no evidence on here? ahhh okay - so now I see you were directing your comment to people on here and it was based on something. got there in the end. Fair do's. I personally defended Grey the time he was called a racist on here. The other accusations made against him by a certain poster were awful. Don't think he wasn't supported, he'd probably just had enough. In answer to your last question - I don't agree with cancel culture. I have to be honest, I had my suspicions when you posted a video of a Neo-Nazi to support your views. You quickly reassured us all that you didn't actually know who he was so that's that settled then👍 I chose not to call you a racist at the time and listened to your response, but I would hardly be a cunt for making the assumption when the first video was posted. My rambly point here, is it's not always clear and folk are entitled to their opinion. People call Cheese out all the time but I don't he should be banned for calling folk racist. The same goes for JK Rowling and Jeremy Clarkson etc. etc. Cancel culture is fucked - It's a surprise those that have been critiquing it for years couldn't spot it this weekend.

Make it nice and easy. I don’t care if you’re left, right or centre, I believe in freedom of speech. I also believe big firms are right to put in guidelines as to what you can and can’t say on social media. Especially with organisations like the BBC. If linekar has broken his agreement and refuses to apologise then the BBC have no other option. If theBBC have fucked up then lineker needs to Sue them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
