Lineker stood down…

I think it's more about Gary Lineker being a self-important sanctimonious twat, who, because he regularly tops the BBC earnings lists for some unfathomable reason, thinks he is beyond the rules which apply to everyone else that they pay.

I'm not a big fan of him myself, but ask yourself,  why wasn't Alan Sugar treated the same for his Corbyn/Hitler tweet?

I've no idea what that may have been so can't be specific.

 

However, what does strike me immediately is that the good Mr Corbyn was never in government.

Let’s get this right, you have to be impartial to work for the BBC, lineker slates government policy and gets a yellow card, Sugar compares Corbyn to Hitler and he’s still good to go. Something doesn’t add up.

It seems David Attenborough is indeed being censored.  

 

BBC Denies Pulling Episode of David Attenborough's New 'Wild Isles' Docuseries

WWW.GREENMATTERS.COM

---

David Attenborough's latest nature documentary series, titled 'Wild Isles,' is causing controversy.

 

Though of course the BBC now deny that.  They do admit though that the "sixth episode" is only on iplayer and not a primetime sunday slot to avoid upsetting the establishment.  It makes you wonder about the investigative documentaries that have been made and then canned over the years.  Such a film was made years ago about the Lockerbie bombing and was blocked by the USA and UK governments, and to this day has never been broadcast.

I think one significant difference is that GL is/was a Presenter - Sugar is/was not

But he does front a primetime BBC show, along with Karen Brady who sits in the HoL (can she be considered impartial?).

He has a bbc contract.  Again,  I don't know if it was broken. Just highlighting the inconsistencies

Suffice to say I have just had to check to see who Karren Brady is as I had never heard of her!
