UK - Politika i društvo

LOL, mislio sam da je parody account, kad ono stvarno PM.

Zvuči kao da su u vladinoj marketinškoj agenciji te večeri imali party i, nakon što su se odvalili od alkohola i štogod ušmrkali, odlučili smislili najblesaviju političku kampanju koje su se mogli sjetiti. Kad su završili, poslali su prijedlog u DS 10. Sutra ujutro su se otrijeznili i, kad su vidjeli šta su uradili, počeli su proklinjati vlastitu glupost. 'Radi jedne jebene noći zabave popit ćemo otkaz i izgubiti milijune... Pa gdje nam je bila pamet?'

Popodne je stigao odgovor. 'Ovo je odlično. Imate li još?'

Glupost #1 je PR dizaster sa ovim "access to the UK's modern slavery system"
Glupost #2 je ono što su u stvari mislili sa tim, tj. da ako si nečiji rob oni ti neće pomoći da to više ne budeš

Nema dna kada je UK u pitanju...

Mislio sam da nema dalje od onoga kad je Sinak rekao da ce S.Irska sad biti u odlicnom polozaju posto ce moci da slobodno trguje i sa EU i sa UK...

BBC - Zdrav razum 2:0.

BBC suspends Gary Lineker from Match of the Day for impartiality breach | Gary Lineker | The Guardian


Inače...

There are calls for an independent inquiry into claims banker Richard Sharp helped arrange a guarantee on a loan of up to £800,000 for Boris Johnson just weeks before the then prime minister put him forward to be the Chairman of the BBC.

BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of ‘rightwing backlash’

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of Sir 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.

EDIT. Oops, sad vidim Tovar već postovao.

Gary Lineker's BBC career was hanging by a thread last night.

He has dramatically been dropped from Match of the Day for his anti-Tory comments on social media. But the decision sparked a meltdown at the broadcaster when fellow hosts Alan Shearer and Ian Wright pulled out of tonight's football show in solidarity.

BBC bosses had told Lineker either to stop his politicised posts or give up working for the corporation.

Last night a senior source said: 'It's now up to Lineker – he needs to choose.' Another well-placed insider described the presenters' mutiny as a 'proper BBC crisis'.

Lineker is said to have been unwilling to apologise for his tweet this week in which he likened the Government's migrant crackdown to 1930s Germany.

The BBC said it had decided he would 'step back' from presenting Match of the Day 'until we've got an agreed and clear position on his use of social media'. It said it felt that the 62-year-old presenter – its highest-paid star on £1.35million a year – had broken rules with 'his recent social media activity'.

But the statement came into question last night. Sources close to Lineker stressed he had not agreed to take a break from Match of the Day and was 'taken off air'.

ITV political editor Robert Peston said the former England captain had also rejected 'the idea that he breached social media guidelines' – partly because this was not in his contract.

Channel 5 News presenter Dan Walker yesterday said on air that Lineker told him 'they've [the BBC] told me I have to step back'.

Sad kad ih pobedi na sudu...

Cekaj, profesionalni i neutralni javni medij izbacuje nekoga zbog...tvita?

Ja mislio on nesto rekao u emisiji, i uvodni deo teksta na to delimicno ukazuje ("mora da prestane sa politizacijom" i slicno), a on je zapravo pred otkazom samo zbog tvitova na svom tviteru?

Već x ljudi je tako pogubilo poslove... Godinama unazad.

Sloboda govora/mišljenja prop'o.

Solidarnost s Linekerom je dosta velika.

6 commentators now joined #GaryLineker: Wright, Shearer, Wilson, McNamara, Cowan and Wyeth.

Hopefully every civil minded democracy loving BBC employee will walk out this weekend.

The #BBC is run by right wing Conservative Party propagandists. Period. https://t.co/gbHIhcTmMW

Desničarskim ekstremnim komentatorima naravno nije falila dlaka s glave.

Your starter for 10,

Gary Lineker, John Humphrys, Andrew Neil, Alan Sugar

3 of these people made 'right wing' statements while working for the BBC, 1 of them made 'left wing' comments. Which one has been cancelled? #IStandWithGary pic.twitter.com/xXFFNyXDYQ

Reminder, Alan Sugar tweeted this and is still employed by the BBC.

The BBC says that presenters should "keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies.”

But this, from Alan Sugar, was totally fine. pic.twitter.com/MYDf3Li1ZO

So Gary Lineker, a BBC sports presenter is dragged off air for tweeting an opinion... but there was no problem about Simon McCoy, an actual BBC News presenter referring to "Remoaners" live on the BBC News? pic.twitter.com/XiwpkYT0Wl

Oko ovog slučaja nešto ne čujem žalopojke na "cancel culture"...

evo, i na dva naša foruma, pokušavam da na topicima o zastrašujućoj PC i woke tiraniji pronađem nešto o aferi Lineker, ali nema. samo tužni tumbleweed na prašnjavom putu.

Ma naravno. U vecini pravih free speech slucajeva u medijima, u akademiji, u skolama, jos uvek prednjace standardne desnicarske price. Protiv nasih vrednosti, protiv nase religije, protiv Izraela, protiv desnicarske vlasti.

A inace, Lineker car.

Ovo je ozbiljna društvena stvar, da fudbaler, bivši kapiten, nacionalna zvezda zauzme ovakvu poziciju. Jebiga Engleska. Bukvalno revolucija.

Ma kakvi, saće da mu nađu da je antisemita ili nešto.

EDIT (malo kasnije) - vidim i drugi razmišljaju u sličnom pravcu...

Lol

Lineker je masovno voljen u Engleskoj. Napravili su sebi ozbiljno sranje.

An excellent, honest, straightforward account of the BBC’s ‘crisis’, from the BBC itself, naturally. You won’t find anything in the rest of the media as good as this: yet another reason why the UK and the world needs the BBC to be strong & self-confident. https://t.co/PDThZpLYSR
