Dahnsouff Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 20 minutes ago, Bordersfox said: Tirade? Bit strong! I run my own business and I don't use social media so that's not really relevant. And nor is what your employer would do. That's my point. The BBC seems perfectly fine with political tweets when it suits them. They can't have it both ways. We must judge them on what they have done historically not on what some employer on the Clapham omnibus might do in a hypothetical situation. Perhaps I should have made myself clearer, I didn't intend to come across as having a rant at you apologies if that's how it appeared No, it’s fine, I am sure I overreacted. We literally had this exact type of ‘guidance’ at work this week, and the worst part was, it seemed reasonable at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes me a bad person so be it. Of course it doesn’t make you a bad person. I rather like the man. We’ll agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ramaiya2 Posted 10 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 March 2023 i agree with Gary, In my opinion Suella Braverman is a nasty person. She has more in common with the far right then us. She has even been confronted by a holocaust survivor for her language. https://www.freedomfromtorture.org/holocaust-survivor-confronted-suella-braverman-to-say-your-hateful-language-has-consequences Gary spoke out and the BBC cancelled him. The BBC is no longer impartial and I completely agree with him. I do normally watch MOTD but tomorrow i wont be watching it. I am even contemplating cancelling my BBC license 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusko187 Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 Personally I don't care if Lineker hosts MotD, but I agree with a boycott... you can't be having an organisation preventing you from expressing opinions like that. What if he spoke in favour? Would they be so quick to take the same action? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hankey Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 1 hour ago, East Langton Fox said: As he is one of us, I’m interested to know what people think about him being told he can’t present MOTD until he rows the BBC line. Personally I think it’s a a mistake. Alan Sugar has had plenty to say as a Labour supporter. Andrew Neill, esteemed political presenter on the BBC is editor of the spectator which is not politically neutral. Double standards. Poor decision from the BBC He is not one of me!! Although he is entitled to his opinion he appears to have a penchant for being more and more outspoken and controversial in recent years. To me, he seems more akin to David Icke!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally had this exact type of ‘guidance’ at work this week, and the worst part was, it seemed reasonable at first. I have been an employee and I have had similar guidance. I think James O'Brien has it. Linekar has enough money to not give a fvck. The rest of us not so much. We should be free to air our opinions (within reason, free speech is never an absolute) without our employers trying to gag us. Sadly that's never going to be a reality. However, where the BBC has so flagrantly allowed others like Alan Sugar to spout off it's quite rightly now blowing up in their faces over Linekar. Similarly if your employer penalised you for expressing a political opinion but let your colleague get away with it, they'd be struggling to justify it at an employment tribunal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
