Bordersfox Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 3 minutes ago, Sharpe's Fox said: The fact that this cretin Alastair Cambell can go on TV and carp on about the rights of refugee's when his dodgy dossier for an illegal war in Iraq created more of them than most (as well as killing a million) is a joke. I don't disagree about Campbell. I voted for Corbyn as leader of the Labour party and I despise those in Labour who systematically undermined him. But right now the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This bunch of egregious fvckers need to be assaulted from every side before there is nothing left of this country worth fighting for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGibbo Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 The country's in the bin. Cess pit pandering to our lowest common denominators to detract from their own failings. As for Lineker he's a Leicester legend and should be remembered on a par with Des Lynam & Jimmy Greeves as a broadcaster in the long run. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sampson Posted 10 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 March 2023 (edited) Genuinely can't believe people are trying to defend the BBC and slate Lineker on this. Regardless of what you think of Lineker about anything else, he's absolutely spot on that using terms like "illegal invasion" of people coming here as refugees is extremely reminiscent of 1930s Germany and is a slippery slope. That shouldn't be controversial to say. He's not saying the Tory Party are the literal Nazi party, he was rightfully criticising the language around a policy which is patently illegal under international human rights laws. He's now been forced out by a BBC chairman who is a Tory donor and even loaned money to Boris Johnson and the director-general is also an open Tory because he dared to criticise the government. This is despite the likes of Alan Sugar staying on air in the Apprentice despite also being extremely open pro-Boris Johnson who attacked Mick Lynch and Jeremy Corbyn repeatedly very openly on twitter. So it's quite transparently nothing to do with "breaching impartiality guidelines" when it's ok for BBC personalities who are pro-Tory and anti-Labour to do exactly the same thing. It's because the BBC are no longer impartial themselves and have over the past 2-3 years hired at the top people who have very direct and open links to the standing government and the Tory Party. It's the government censoring criticism of them. I'm genuinely flabbergasted people cannot see it when it's right in front of their face and are actually not only not outraged at this decision and what it means to live in a free, democratic country, but are actually saying it's a good thing that's he's gone(?!) People confound me sometimes. Edited 10 March 2023 by Sampson 21 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 10 March 2023 Share Posted 10 March 2023 1 hour ago, Mike the Metal Ed said: That should be the case, but the BBC has to exist in the same market economy as Sky, ITV and the rest of it. If you get rid of their high value talent, then people would just question what they're paying for, they can't win in that regard. Sadly, the BBC has been shutting down a lot of its previous entry level talent roles, not least the recent huge scaling back of local radio. Your almost question why we bother paying for a license!

Popular Post Sampson Posted 10 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 March 2023 (edited) 9 minutes ago, shade said: Most don't, and I think we know why. That's objectively untrue though. 73% of asylum seekers claim asylum in a country that neighbors their own. And we take in way, way less refugees than the other 2 similar sized western European countries - France and Germany. Germany has 3 times as many applicants as we did in 2021 and France over twice as many for reference. Link below UNHCR - Asylum in the UK And refugees and asylum seekers are legally allowed to claim asylum in any country they like, it's explicitly listed in international law that they don't have to claim asylum in the first safe country they enter - and this is international law which UK were literally the ones writing up the law on and the head signature of and got other countries to sign up to in 1948 as a result of WW2.
