So let’s assume that the licence fee is scrapped. What happens to bbc radio? 1) it continues because magic fairies produce, present etc 2) it stops. I know which my money is on.

And let’s not forget radio five live for the football, lots of good content chatting football, Test match special, and all of the county commentary. Oh and bbc online. Compare that to what Netflix costs a year. It is staggering really. I simply don’t believe that all the bbc haters don’t...

He was right to. It was a very difficult job. Now I reckon most strikers would love the team we have. If you could pick up our team and dump the whole thing at a big club paying massive wages then they would be all over it.

Wright was also in Manchester on ITV. Danny Murphy was used because he is now the go to chap for Grimsby because one of his uncles played there. You did hear an unintended hot mic comment from Murphy which was good. “Come on Fulham” Shame Lineker was not there to talk about Ferguson. He took...

Exactly. That Is something that could be stopped if we sorted out processing and sent people back. Unfortunately the process has ground to a halt which means everyone is lumped in together and an outsider and words like “invasion” are used. Tory MPs saying “we are full” when actually boat...

Interesting interpretation House of Lords library. Note the use of “irregularly” rather than illegally. 2.1 Claiming asylum in the UK To claim asylum in the UK, a person must be physically in the UK. It is not possible to apply from outside the country, and there is no asylum visa. A person...

If you are entering to claim asylum then it does not apply. Go back through the thread. There is a very good explanation by a legal chap about this. If they enter without documents and don’t claim asylum they have broken the law. If they enter with the intention to claim asylum and do so then...

My dad was funny about it. He said “it is the problem now. Snowflakes mean free speech is dead” I had to point out to him that it was his lot who were moaning about Lineker using his free speech. He then said “only because he was moaning about the Home Secretary” For context. His mum...

Sorry I relied before seeing this. This is obviously quite right. It is remarkable that people who get such basics wrong tell others to have a history lesson. But that is what the messaging is all about. Sadly it is working.

They ar Anyone who uses the term “illegal immigration” to describe people entering the country as a refugee who intends to claim asylum is wrong and needs a lesson in law. There is no such thing as illegal entry if claiming asylum. It is legal to enter a country however you can. Sadly the...

All the massive overreaction is driven by the tories having nothing else to offer to win an election than culture wars. They spend so much time accusing others of starting culture wars that it has been obvious for ages that this is their play. Often with politicians you can see them projecting...

It is not just that policy though. It is the words used to dehumanise them. That is the big difference.

I think we all know the answer. They are just arguing for the sake of it. They actually think some people believe that someone would rather wait until 10.35pm to watch something they could watch whenever they want from 5.30. It is crazy. it was the language used he compared. I have still not...

My thoughts exactly. It was comical how the right of the tory party said it was better with no comms and pundits. Like John Redwood ever watched motd ffs. Part of the fun of watching motd is being wound up by any analysis that misses how amazing we are. How the pundits are wrong because they...

Absolutely curiosity and publicity etc. I expect next week it would fall.

Maybe NSC more in tune with the people that EVERYONE in the pub?

This is a funny take. “All these sticklers for BBC rules who are considerably less concerned about the government breaking international law.”

Have all those people who say they hate the chat on motd and better without it, appeared to say they prefer listening to radio commentary without commentators ruining it yet? I was looking forward to listening to us vs Leeds later. Oh well.

Fantastic to dismiss the views of NSC and then say everyone in a pub felt the same. I am calling BS on that.

Does anyone know the political views of that bloke who hosts all those train programmes on the bbc?
