From an interview with Roger Bolton this morning on BBC News (before the announcement on Gary Lineker)

I don't necessarily agree with everything Roger Bolton says - but he absolutely nails this…

Labour are really trying to spin the narrative that they were backing Lineker all along and didn't just support the Tories like always.

Alastair Campbell tells BBC NEWS

"There is a lesson for the BBC, when you are subject to right-wing pressure, you should resist it, stand up to it and don't pander to it."

I see @bbcbreakfast are going with the Daily Hate's agenda today.

Apparently "Divides opinion"? - so rather than referring to the YouGov poll, with the majority support for Lineker (only 27% agreeing with his suspension) - they're lazily just 'two-siding' the issue.

Funny how @bbcnews isn't focussing on Tory bias from the BBC 'Top brass'.

For all the news stories reporting that last night's Match of the Day was "the most watched in months": when people are tuning in to qawp and laugh at you it's generally a bad thing.

In all the hoo-ha I’m seeing scant comment that what was said by Linekar is objectively true. You can’t censor anyone for stating actual facts.

A lot of UK government rhetoric on immigration, refugees and asylum is divisive, it is inflammatory, dehumanising and it is othering. It specifically tries to link asylum seekers with criminality, and with detrimental economic impacts. They do finger point and blame shift, in the same way as emergent fascist regimes.

Well spotted @CatLaw75@twitter.com!

The @BBC@twitter.com in 2020, & again in 2021, confirmed the personal @Twitter@twitter.com accounts of freelancers (eg Lineker, Packham, & Andrew Neil) are "unrelated to" the BBC, & "the BBC is not responsible for its content".

Interesting development in is that the European media is full of stories about the British government issuing denials that they are Nazis. It's never good when you have to go out and declare to the world that you are not a Nazi. Essentially an example of the Inverse Godwin law: if you have to tell people that despite appearances you are not a Nazi, then you have lost the argument.

Suddenly remembered the brilliant BBC series β€˜The Nazis - a warning from history’. Isn’t it for the good of us all that we be reminded how such movements develop and what they lead to?

I'm struggling to remember the name of the person who presented the three series of The Apprentice that were made after Lord Sugar was suspended for this tweet.
