He did criticise Saudi Arabia and the BBC let him do it. He didn’t boycott the tournament, I think it would be unrealistic to expect him to do that, it’s his job.

And there is the misunderstanding. I was talking about the 1932 elections. Get some rest. Big day tomorrow.

I know how they gained power. They took it after the democratic door was left ajar. Millions of Germans voted for them. That is why Hitler became Chancellor and took the Country. I know who the SA and SS were always concerned with, it was Jews. It was the world Jewish conspiracy. For them...

And you look this lot up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roter_Frontkämpferbund These were the people the SS were concerned with. Again, dangerous and lazy naive historic relativity from yourself. For the time, these elections were seen as democratic. Any historian will tell you that.

Dangerously lazy? Back to the history books for young Louis. It’s naïve historical relativity to claim that the Nazi party did not get a majority of seats as some kind of valid argument. I’ve gone back into the 1800’s and no German party EVER got a majority. Germany always had coalition...

I bet they run headlines all week on this story no matter what happens in the rest of the news. The gammon are angry, they live to poke them and poke them until they’re even more livid. There is money to be made from stoking the culture wars.

I fort I lived in a democracy the last time I looked. It’s just my opinion. Fed up with this cancel culture trying to cancel everything, first of all they cancel asylum seakers, then Lineker then they cancel the Match of a Day. They are all the same, BBC, Lineker, Politicians, bin the lot!

I don’t know. Plenty of ammunition against the BBC to continue the culture wars that drive their rag sales?

I wonder if the the Tories now throw Sharp and Davie under the bus? This is not the solution most of the 25% of potential Tory voters wanted? (https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/uk-opinion-polls)

Ah yes. Godwin’s law. Pie covers this rather eloquently here: And has a message for people like you at 3:40. 😎

The problem you and people determined to take offence from the tweet and link it to things Lineker has not said is that the tweet itself is too nuanced. Where has Lineker said the language around the Tory’s immigration policy is the same (identical) as the language in 30’s Germany? You are...

If only we could go back to those nostalgic days when gammon were boys, everything was right in Great Britain and iconic BBC presenters were not political. If only Jim could fix that for Wokeworrier?

I suppose in your ****ed up world, lawyers deal with tax disputes and not accountants. In the short-term, certainly. However, once the Linekar asteroid that hit us with such dramatic effect has settled at the bottom of the ocean floor and gone away, I’d suggest that the incoming Tsunami about...

This is where it gets quite subtle. Out of interest, why do you think Linekar didn’t mention the Nazi party but instead said ‘30’s Germany’. Do you think he was trying to make the tweet less incendiary because his focus was ‘language’ rather than ‘the holocaust’ or ‘illegal wars’ or ‘the SS’ or...

And then we see the spin. Right wing spin - Tory commentators and even the Home Secretary link the tweet directly with the Nazi Party’s worst atrocities from the Holocaust in the 40’s and claim it’s antisemitism. Left wing spin - He didn’t actually mention the Nazi party by name to how can it...

When you imply that economic migrants’ aim is to be safe, you tell the world exactly what sort of person you are. What a confused and mixed up post.

I wonder if Barber is thinking of doing the same as this club? If he did, would BBC supporters boycott the Palace game?

I remember writing an essay for A-Level History about how the Nazi Party were democratically elected. Our teacher wanted us to recognise that democracy is not perfect. It’s a fascinating subject. Language, and propaganda, played a huge role. Yes, the people of Germany were duped in the 30’s but...

I don’t think the @portlock seagull will be able to copy and paste a response from the Guardian to this particular post! 🤣 Well played.

Just a guess, but you probably can’t be an anchorman for BT Sport as well as presenting MotD if you are employed by the BBC. Better to be a freelancer to maximise your career choices and earning potential.
