BBC headline just announced That's typical BBC mealy mouthed language for "nobody agrees with what we have done and they are all full square with Gary Lineker and the right to free expression". Really gonna enjoy watching those worms wriggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made his comment on an open forum website whereby a person has a choice to follow that person for their opinion. I’m using Gary Neville as a different example of a similar thing. Lineker is followed by 8.7m people because he’s a sports broadcaster and he represents the BBC. It’s the BBC that made his broadcasting career. The BBC has impartiality guidelines that are in his contract and include personal social media accounts. He’s ignored them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that makes me laugh is the same people moaning about being cancelled and woke ( stupid word) now want cancel someone for having an opinion. The worlds gone mad. It seems tories are happy about this yet they hate people being cancelled? Absolute idiots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country wouldn’t function without immigration that is for sure, plus he shouldn’t be forced to step down anyway because of a comment which was Over the top.

westernpark Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 Just now, lifted*fox said: in all fairness, if it wasn't albanians it'd be english people doing the same thing. but that's a different argument about the failings of the war on drugs... something else this government refuses to look at sorting out in a sensible way. Yes, I agree. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t an issue with Albanians coming into the country. However, it’s pretty stupid to believe that is the main reason we should stop allowing those wanting to seek asylum in this country, to do so. Unfortunately, the Conservatives use it as ammo to be lazy in having any sort of intelligent or workable policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irony is yesterday's front page was about jailing a big Albanian drugs gang in Leicester as Gaz boy wanted more of them. Just saying. ‘Gaz boy’ didn’t want more of ‘them’. He like others think there is a far better way of dealing with the immigration issue than having the poxy policy suggestion. Target the criminals and have a proper asylum application system in place to stop the boats rather the slapstick nature the govt want to do 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amusing the irony of yesterday's truth bomb. Enjoy 🤣 you do realise english people sell drugs in england too, don't you? you do realise a huge number of english people actively choose to do drugs and they would do so whether it was matey from albania, some white guy, or the queen of england selling it to them, right? the abolition of drug use and sale is impossible. regulate and educate is the only way. obviously far beyond your understanding and comprehension. tbh i could barely make sense of your post.

Its basically the mirror group with loads of local publications and then later down the line the Express sold into it. To say the Leicester Mercury is a right wing rang is boarding on the best joke in a decade. I know very well about the group. The papers do what they can to make money and play to their audience to do that. I do agree the Mercury is not particularly left or right wing though.

To say the Leicester Mercury is a right wing rang is boarding on the best joke in a decade. Rag. Bordering. My own local paper is owned by Reach. It, like the Mercury, seeks the lowest common denominator and the click bait stories. It is, indeed, a right wing rag full of anti- immigration stories whipping up hatred. If you are right wing then, of course, you will see it as a reasonable and objective publication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossiter Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 I think the crux of it us the fact he said Nazis.

The money is there, its just put in the wrong places And to say we need to look after our own, there's more of our own killing the system than people who come here from abroad Ahh you say that but from a Tory perspective you're totally wrong... They put that money into the pockets of friends, business associates, doners and people for whom they will "work" as extremely well paid consultants when they leave office. But stupid people forget when it's election time and remember the rabble rousing of creatures such as Braverman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
