Re: Cancel culture at the BBC

Rules may have changed in the last few years or they may have stayed the same. What's clear is that they only seem to be enforced if a presenter does not follow the government's agreed line. That's worrying.

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC

In case you're gagging to know what I think:

1. The BBC has seriously lost its way.

2. Lineker was wrong to compare UK government actions with Nazi Germany.

3. Lineker is obviously free to say what he wants. He's not a political reporter or new reader.

So .... one person asks a question, another answers it ... twitter (?).

Was there a reason for your post ?

Looks like a sideswipe at Seph; the leftie remoaners don't like his opinions (which reflect the views of the silent majority) so they're trying to cancel him.

I agree with most of what you say but Lineker was comparing the language used by the government, not its actions.

I'm not arguing if he's right or wrong on the point he makes, but I feel there's an important distinction between criticising language and criticising actions.

Thank you for the correction. Yes - that's what I should have said and was in the back of my mind. To suggest that Braverman usedg Nazi language is reprehensible.

Not sure where Redwood is coming from on this tweet - someone who helped devise some big privatisations knows more about how markets work than most people so playing naive with this question fools no one. But that's another debate!

I don’t think Seph was arguing that point either. Seph disagrees, but respects Lineker’s right to say it. Language is ultimately an action.

That’s the interesting thing about the Redwood tweet above - a complete deflection from the issue at hand. I do disagree with what the state broadcaster pays for the presenters of English football highlights compared to the pittance it pays for actual live football in Scotland.

However it’s irrelevant to the issue at hand.

You’ve somewhat overthought your analysis of JR’s tweet. Frankly, I’d rather he kept out of this sort of nonsense.

The ‘Nuff said’ bit is about the donations to my Party that the top echelons at the BBC have made. I tell you, I’m one of the last true Conservatives remaining. If the BBC hasn’t been leant one and then bent, my whatsit’s a kipper.

He should have gone into business after Thatcher resigned and then retired gracefully. He's tarnished his reputation since then and needs to step aside at the the next election and let someone else have a chance.

In what way?
