MOTD thread

[Nebby]

What full statement? I'm not trying to catch you out here. Can't find any other statement about Lineker on the BBC media room, just that one. Can you link this full statement?

Go back a couple of pages. I copied and pasted the relevant section.

This? Honestly you're making this pretty hard lol.

The BBC guidelines also states: "There are also others who are not journalists or involved in factual programming who nevertheless have an additional responsibility to the BBC because of their profile on the BBC. We expect these individuals to avoid taking sides on party political issues or political controversies and to take care when addressing public policy matters."

Can you please link it as I also can’t find it and would like to read it. Thanks.

 

[Albertbarich]

I believe Lineker was a centre forward actually.

Not at Barca! Remember the controversy?!

There’s this thing called Google. Give it a go, it’s very good.

Mate, you're being asked for a link, not being asked to your edited highlights.

Dude why are you being so hostile? I was genuinely and politely asking you for the full statement, because I haven't seen it. And as a employment lawyer I'd be interested to know what his contract says.

We're all Spurs fans here, I really don't understand what I've done to annoy you. I have no problem with you or indeed anyone else in this community. As far as I can recall you're a good poster on here.

Wow. I don't recall your name standing out much in all these years but in the past few pages you've managed to come across as a right bellend.
You don't have to be rude and obtuse you know, try being nice and helpful sometimes, it can help with social interaction.

I’m not annoyed at all. Search BBC Lineker Statement.

I have and the only official statement I can find from the BBC is the one on their media centre and it's the short one I posted.

If you have the link then please just post it, I'm sure others would like to read it too. I would appreciate it.

This thread is mental - I made one post and got absolutely personally trashed by someone I’ve never heard of for no reason I could discern

As Lineker has been suspended, shouldn't all the politicians who supported posters like this also be suspended from their jobs, Braverman would be the first .

It's why I avoid any politics thread on here. It seems to make people lose any sense of civility and manners.
Rudeness, especially for no reason is one of those things that really gets my back up.

does she work for the bbc?

 

[nailsy]

I didn't mean to sound condescending so I apologize if i came across that way.

Obviously I'm not bothered about people taking the piss and having a laugh, thats a different kettle of fish.

No need to apologise, I probably misread your post, but thank you anyway.

Not wanting to detail the thread, but you can't say you don't like rudeness after calling someone a bellend and dismissing them as you don't know their name.

After a quick Google search I can only find the short statement that was posted in ere also. So I am no help with finding it also.

If anyone really wants to read the BBCs editorial and impartiality guidelines, in full, they’re on the BBC’s website.
