Re: Cancel culture at the BBC

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
Interesting albeit hardly unexpected.
Quote:
BBC chair Richard Sharp under growing pressure to quit over Gary Lineker row
Keir Starmer describes Sharp’s position as ‘increasingly untenable’ as Rishi Sunak offers lukewarm defence of BBC chair
The BBC chair, Richard Sharp, is under increasing pressure to quit after the corporation apologised over its handling of the impartiality row surrounding the Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker.
Keir Starmer called on the government to examine how it could protect a “truly independent and impartial” BBC.
He told ITV News: “I think Richard Sharp’s position is increasingly untenable. I think most people watching the complete mess of the last few days would say how on earth is he still in position and Gary Lineker has been taken off air? This is a mess of the BBC’s own making. They need to sort it out and sort it out fast.”
On his flight to the US, Sunak offered a lukewarm defence of the man who was once his boss at Goldman Sachs and who was later recruited by Sunak as an unpaid government adviser when he was chancellor during the Covid pandemic.
Even before the Lineker row erupted, Sharp faced calls for his resignation because when applying for the job of BBC chair, he did not disclose his role in helping Boris Johnson get access to a loan facility, reportedly worth about £800,000.

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
I'm surprised no-one has posted Gary is now coming back to MOTD, not that I give a toss about football.

The BBC’s current social media guidance will remain in place while the review is carried out
Director general Tim Davie acknowledges it contains "grey areas" and says enforcing impartiality is a difficult balancing act
He says he has not bowed to pressure from one political party or another.’

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
I have no interest in football either, but 'it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. There's more to it & at stake than first appears.

Nah - the BBC are assholes, Lineker is an asshole, the whingeing opposition are assholes and the whingeing government not much better.
One thing is almost certain - as you imply, there's more to play out.
Good fun.

Corbyn is defiantly not an Anti-Semitic, also he doesn't sympathise with terrorists when it comes to Israel.. the issue is he supports the Palestinians who are the victims of almost daily genocide by Israel so the media and the backstabber in Labour labelling him as one. on the Subject of Sugar he's was afraid of Corbyn as he would have been forced to actually pay more taxes also if Corbyn did get he would have scrapped the House of Lords sugar would have to work for his money then.

Maybe back during the Labour days and the early years of the collation but now it's a Tory outfit. more and more conservatives are getting top jobs there and right wing bias journalists like Laura Kuenssberg are getting free rein to say what they like. you would swear sometimes BBC News has turned into GB News with the amount a rightwing leaning stories they put on.

Admonishing me with a word invented by The Simpsons is a little bit ineffectual old chap.
