tories objected to being compared to the third reich. there's an easy way to stop that happening and it's not fining people for rescuing drowning refugees.

they introduced sats when I was at high school and all of the teachers refused to invigilate them except two - the malevolent home economics teacher and the evil woodwork teacher who had a hitler moustache. trying to work out who the bbc sport equivalent of these people is and it's probably graham souness.

this is baddiel's hot take. I mean my expectations were already low, but
Indeed. There *is* a 1930s equivalence, which is propaganda by the right-wing British press and British Blackshirts towards Jews seeking asylum. But in Germany, it wasn't about immigrants. The language of hate and disenfranchisement was targeted towards their own citizens. https://t.co/KlQDOczOjz— David Baddiel (@Baddiel) March 9, 2023

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press, the Guardian has been told.The decision has angered the programme-makers and some insiders at the BBC, who fear the corporation has bowed to pressure from lobbying groups with “dinosaurian ways”.
The decision has angered the programme-makers and some insiders at the BBC, who fear the corporation has bowed to pressure from lobbying groups with “dinosaurian ways”.
the bbc directors seems to be making a lot of very bad decisions, ones that are exclusively biased and pandering to the hard right-wing elements of government and the press that would have them privatised tomorrow. While putting the hypocritical imposition on Lineker it's got to be "impartiality" or career death. They've lost the plot, even more than usual lately.

absolutely shell-shocked by Shearer!

calzino the initial story on Wild Isles was very misleading and has now been changed, with this quote now added from the BBC“This is totally inaccurate, there is no ‘sixth episode’. Wild Isles is – and always was - a five part series and does not shy away from environmental content. We have acquired a separate film for iPlayer from the RSPB and WWF and Silverback Films about people working to preserve and restore the biodiversity of the British Isles.”

Steve Wilson, one of the motd commentators, has already expressed solidarity with Lineker, and imagine many will follow. So maybe no commentators? Can imagine fan groups chanting in solidarity so they might have to take out the crowd noise too?
