Has the @bbc actually analysed Gary Lineker’s tweet? Because it is factually accurate. A lot of the tropes used now by Govt: ‘invasion’, ‘menace’ etc, are pretty similar to those used by nationalist parties in 1930s Germany. Why no analysis? Are BBC history presenters muted too?
Worth noting that this is, of course, another almighty mess that leads directly to Boris Johnson and his utter unfitness for office. It’s impossible not to see his elevation of the obviously unsuitable Richard Sharp to BBC chairman as his reward for facilitating an enormous loan.
Worth remembering that very right-wing oligarchs own The Times, The Sun, The Mail, The Telegraph (& the Sunday editions), the Spectator, GBeebies, Talk TV & the Conservative Party. The Express pursues their agenda for financial reasons. And they're all terrified of Gary Lineker.
For those trying to claim the Gary Lineker saga is all to do with BBC impartiality. Bollocks. Gary Neville works for commercial TV and draws the same criticism from the same people whenever he makes a comment they don’t like. It’s right wing cancel culture.
Andrew Bridgen I was informed yesterday that in 1972 a crack commando team was sent to prison for a crime they did not commit. The conspiracies run deep, Andrew. Deep.
