#today #3GoodThings

1. #Covid retreating, though wife now has it and rather worse symptoms than me, at least I get to play nurse/cook.

2. 40 #notifications rather than the usual 4 or 5, must be doing something right, or wrong ;-)

3. #IAmGaryLineker seems to be for the good, and if it’s winding up the #Tories then so much the better.

#today #3GoodThings

1. #Covid symptoms slowly receding.

2. #BBC seems to have seen some sense #IAmGaryLineker though good distraction from the £800k loan/job CV.

3. Another day (mostly) chilling on the sofa - beginning to feel bored, see 1. 😹

Not my idea, copied from Facebook, but I think it brilliant! #asylum #bigboats #IAmGaryLineker

"Most of the public think the #UK should continue to take in people from war zones, according to a new study."

"88% of people who took in refugees from #Ukraine would do so again, compared with 3% who would not... 68% of Britons believe the fact that the UK has taken in more than 150,000 #refugees from Ukraine is a good thing and only 17% think it is a bad thing."

There will come a time when the majority of the British people will come to recognise the biggest political mistake of the 2010s was to fall for the far-right trap of electing, time and again, this sociopath into higher and higher positions of power.

This has exponentially strengthened #plutocracy in the #UK, to the detriment of #democracy.

“Gary is 100% right."

“I agree with freedom of speech. This is not Russia.”

“Gary Lineker is our guy. He is standing up for people who don’t have a voice to speak.”

“We’re coming to that point in the world where we’re not allowed to say the truth. The BBC know what they’re doing.”

“He’s speaking from a good place, isn’t he? He’s speaking for disadvantaged people.”

#today I’m loving #IAmGaryLineker, not to mention #Attenborough. I’m not a #lefty #rebel, well not much, more a #woke #oldpeopleofmastodon who’s respected the rule of law and institutions like the #BBC with 70 years on this fragile planet. Might this be a #tippingpoint, I do hope so. #ClimateEmergency #asylum #humanrights

@ChrisMayLA6 yes indeed #IAmGaryLineker (and loving the #hashtag ) and, stealing from someone else, watch out for the #deadcat array on Sunday morning’s round 😹

So, who’s boycotting #MOTD this evening? I certainly will. Shame on you #BBC.

#IAmGaryLineker

Well that's that cleared up then. Because nothing says "we're definitely nothing like 1930s Germany" quite like taking people off the media for criticising the government

Just seen Tim Davie (DG of the BBC and ex-deputy chairman of the Hammersmith & Fulham Conservative Party) interviewed about 5m away from this message on the wall of New Broadcasting House.
You could not make it up.

Kudos to #IanWright for announcing that he will show solidarity with #IAmGaryLineker by telling #BBC he won't appear on BBC#MOTD tomorrow.
Who is going to tarnish their reputation by standing in as replacement?
#BBCImpartiality

@TJ1001
So #IAmGaryLineker steps back from #MOTD. And yet the #BBC Chairman Richard Sharp, who was appointed by #BorisJohnson after helping to arrange a massive loan for him, remains in post.

"Lineker is right. Far-right political movements have historically used dehumanising language about minorities to distract from domestic problems; that is explicitly what this government is doing." https://www.newstatesman.com/quickfire/2023/03/defence-gary-lineker #GaryLineker #GaryLinekerIsRight #IAmGaryLineker #ToryFacsism #ToryScum #SuellaBraverman
