I learned a useful phrase from #TimDavie (DG of BBC) of what to say when being presented with an interpretation of events you disagree with: "That's a convenient narrative, but it's not true." 🤓

Tim Davie is BBC DG. He knows how not to answer a question, he’d make a great politician. Oh hang on….. #BBCBias #BBCimpartiality #TimDavie #Lineker

Allowing those who agree with the govt to speak while silencing those who disagree is the very opposite of #impartiality. It's promoting propaganda while censuring dissent. To call it impartiality is Orwellian. I'm so grateful that #GaryLineker & his colleagues have taken a stand. We need to call out this BS. Those at the #BBC who have breached impartiality & need to stand down are not #Lineker but BBC chairman & #Tory donor #RichardSharp + BBC Director General & former Tory candidate #TimDavie

“If I was #TimDavie, I’d come out of Broadcasting House and say, ‘Everything I’ve done in the last four days – forget it. I was under pressure. Pretend it didn’t happen. I’m going to have a bath for the rest of the weekend’.”

#TimDavie is “working hard” to resolve the issue with #GaryLineker
Dear Tim you don’t need to work hard; just admit that you were wrong, say “Sorry” and welcome Gary Lineker back to the BBC.

wouldn't it be nice if this petition urging tim davie to resign succeeded in its aim? sign it: https://www.change.org/p/bbc-governors-tim-davie-new-director-general-of-the-bbc-resign?signed=true

This “news” piece by @NickTriggle on @BMA_JuniorDocs strikes is one of the most unbalanced one-sided pieces of govmnt propaganda I’ve seen in a while.

So much for “impartiality” #TimDavie - littered with errors and bias

I would really love it if #RichardSharp and #TimDavie ended up resigning and one of those jobs went to #GaryLineker 🤭

#BBC re-instate #GaryLineker on MOTD: “They think it's all over…”.
#TimDavie quits: “It is now!”

Obviously, not happened yet, but here's hoping…

#BBC

Countdown is on: how long will #CorruptTories #TimDavie #RichardSharp and #RobbieGibb last before being forced to resign? Where’s the lettuce?

And how much damage will this Tory policy of fatally fucking the BBC deliver for them before they do?

Remember: the #Tories are loving these scandals

I once got my mates at the BBC to try to silence the most popular presenter, of the most popular show of the most popular sport in the country, and thought it would win me the next general election. #MOTD #garylineker #istandwithgary #bbc #culturewars #refugees #conservatives #Sunak #RichardSharp #TimDavie #rishisunak

So #timdavie has now been forced to say that he won't resign as DG of the #BBC. Thus the die has been cast and it is now only a matter of time before that certainty comes home to roost. let us not forget that his only crime was ineptitude. #braverman has far more to answer for.

I'm guessing that #lineker et al are currently being courted by #amazon prime or some other broadcaster. #bbc has finally shown its true colours under card carrying tories #timdavie & #richardsharpe. #torycriminalsunfittogovern #ToryFascism #StandWithLineker

It is easy to laugh out loud at the incompetence of #timdavie and his inept handling of the #MOTD lunacy. There remains, however, the real prospect of the #BBC becoming another #RT if the principle of a free press continues to be undermined so blatantly.

Discuss? #TimDavie #bbc
