Cancel culture at the BBC
What's happened to free speech? Seems you can be a politician with your own news TV show but a natural history boffin can't talk about the decline of the countryside for fear of upsetting snowflakes.

Indeed what has happened to free speech as they are now trying to muzzle Gary Lineker.

The Radio Times(page 17) says it's 5 episodes only, with a sixth AVAILABLE on iPlayer. It's stated because of "BBC editorial policy constraints". I suppose because it's opinion only.

The BBC have a even bigger crisis on their hands tonight with Alan Shearer and Ian Wright deciding to not appear on MOTD tomorrow.

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
The Attenborough headline is misleading. The series was commissioned by the BBC as a 5-part series and all of those will be shown. Two charities then commissioned another episode from the same production company based around the series and the BBC later picked that up as well. There might be a debate on if that one-off special should be on broadcast television but it's not as simple as the BBC 'pulling' an episode.
But the Gary Linker thing is completely pathetic. He isn't BBC News, he stated his opinion on his personal Twitter feed. Complete overaction and pandering to a few outraged idiots. I don't think his Tweet was very smart - comparing things to the Nazis is often silly - but it's not a reason to force him to step down from presenting a sports program. |

Personally I just class him with many gobby "stars" who think just becasue they are famous they can post about politics. He should have stuck to football. |

It's not simply about what he was talking about, it's the language used.

Corbyn was closer to one of Hitler's policies than Braverman's immigration policy. Also remember that Corbyn was a proven sympathiser with the terrorist's cause against Israel.

Lord S, like so many with money, will back whoever brings in more for him at the time. Murdoch is another one who changes tune depending on how the wind is blowing.
As for the BBC, massive own goal in lots of ways. Might aswell make it another Govt dept. |
