    Well out from Ben there. I will say he is good with his feet - his days as a midfielder may be something to do with that.

    Godden running the channels. Not sure if that’s his strength.

    It’s a crucial decision and a decisive change required at HT. Burroughs off. BNC on (he’s so random that on this pitch anything is possible) Sheaf on, McDire off.

    Burroughs gave the ball away cheaply there. Now a Wigan corner.

    Lineker is a contractor to avoid tax rules. HMRC are after him for £5m due to (being careful here) being prudent with his tax status. The house always wins. The State owned BBC have egg on their faces. Lineker would do well to not crow too loudly.

    It’s my prediction for their next move. Replacing him with say, Jimmy Bullard will be seen as revenge. By saying “we’ve listened feel that we need more diversity to better reflect modern Britain” is a position or almost immunity. Few would dare criticise the appointment of say, Alex Scott for...

    As I posted earlier about Croxall, he’ll “win” the day but lose the campaign. The BBC will bring in Alex Scott or similar.

    Under Cameron and May the Tory party economic and social position was downright lunatic. Corbyn, ironically, had policies of inward investment that were better. His links to antisemitism and his position on Ireland I won’t get into. Johnson talked a good game. Liz Truss put some old...

    On his own personal channel - maybe. He crossed the line previously by criticising Brexit voters on a BBC show. That’s, IMO, a clear line crossed. On a BBC show. Not Twitter. The BBC should have acted back then, didn’t.

    Defence spending is often circular inward investment. Orders given to BAE, SFL, W Cook etc., these companies pay wages - tax back to gov. Pay rates, VAT, Corp tax etc. back to gov. Employees spend on goods, taxed. Bills, taxed, mortgage int - profits to banks, taxed. Defence and infrastructure...

    With a BBC contract. Ok. Not going to argue. He’s a regular contractor to the BBC.

    Didn’t call out Russia at that World Cup despite the Crimea invasion. He’s a virtue signaller par-excellence. Fine. Up to him, but BBC impartiality rules must apply to everyone equally. He not employed by a private employer. It’s the BBC, the state broadcaster. He is compensated well. Our...

    Ok: Lineker on a BBC panel show. BBC TV not Twitter: “(EU ambassador)…had said Brexit will take 10 years to complete.” Lineker continued “by then the people that voted for it will all be dead” Look it up.

    Cov related: Martine Croxall, BBC reporter and anchor (London) was at my school (think she left before I started). Last year was taken off air by BBC for expressing glee at Boris demise. Reinstated but then shuffled out. Little things like this create precedence. Just saying.
