@greenaspen @alexlac51 They may have apologised, but that won’t stop them inviting her back on next time they need an outspoken extremist.
I think bbc might have buried itself this time

Repeat after me: "I have been endowed with a human brain — the most complex thinking device in the known universe. It is prone to error and delusion, but I vow to use this amazing organ to seek clarity and to illuminate, rather than to bullshit and mislead through false arguments. To discuss and debate honestly is to treat myself and others with the respect they deserve. I will aim for nothing less."

Yes, this is a subtoot.

"I have informed the BBC that I won’t be appearing on MOTD tomorrow night."

They used to say in the Soviet Union, “there’s not much truth in Pravda, and not much news in Izvestia”.

The BBC has neither any more.

So much for “Nation shall speak truth unto nation”.

How to be impartial at the BBC:

NOT IMPARTIAL
❌Gary Lineker criticising the Government
❌David Attenborough condemning environmental destruction

IMPARTIAL
✅Andrew Neil sharing hard-right views on Brexit and climate change
✅Alan Sugar telling people to vote for Boris Johnson

"Thank you for mentioning me in your clumsy analogy. I’m just happy to have been better in the 6 yard box than you are at the dispatch box. Best wishes."
Gary Lineker, on Twitter, in response to Mordaunt's tortuous attempts at football analogies.
Latest score:
Gary Lineker 2, Tories 0.
Listening to the debate about the Lineker tweet. The government and BBC should be profoundly grateful to Gary, for he proves that there are still decent people in British public life willing to speak out against evil. Without people like Gary Lineker, Britain would be an even more a dismal and dark place than it already is. Hope is kept alive by those who speak out. #Lineker #bbc #immigration
Following the Marianne Faithfull LP, I’ve played an album that’s a companion piece to it imo. Barry Reynolds - I Scare Myself. Includes three songs he co-wrote with MF, recorded at #CompassPoint with Alex Sadkin, Sly & Robbie, Wally Badarou. A mixed bag but well worth a listen
There's an awful lot of people talking an awful lot about Twitter and Musk on here. HEY...change the subject...or talk about it on Twitter. Give it a fuckin rest.
