I would hope that the BBC listeners would see behind this to the real fact that 12 years of #Tory defunding has been the real cause of loss of life, not the latterly attempt by junior doctors to force some better workforce planning (by paying hardworking doctors a reasonable wage)...

Reinstate Gary Lineker to Match of the Day

Outside the headquarters of the BBC in London is a statue of the writer George Orwell. It bears the words: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear.” In a series of tweets Gary Lineker did just that. He told the Government that its policies to tackle illegal migration were inhumane and cruel. Rather than accept the freelance sports presenter was speaking from a position of genuine compassion, right-wing MPs immediately called...
