Yes, I think there would be a backlash definitely.
If Lineker had tweeted in support of this government policy and ended with #stoptheboats do we think he would be "stepping back"? Discuss
the genocide began in 1941Oddly I think myself Agnes was referring to the genocide that strangely began in the 1930’s. I guess you think she’s talking about the Boston Tea Party
BSB said in this thread that he would lose his job if he openly held the opinion that this multiple gender nonsense was indeed nonsense. That's genuinely way more concerning than whether a few celebs get displaced from one platform to another.

JK Rowling (definitely not cancelled) and Gina Carano (sorry I had to Google) doesn't strike me as a tidal wave of cases, nor do either of them (or race-baiting slogans like 'All Lives Matter') seem comparable to someone getting suspended from their job for criticizing the government to me. But that's not to say I'm fuming at what's happening to Lineker either - employers should be allowed to hold their employees accountable if they think they're damaging their brand, within the reasonable boundaries of free speech. But it's up to the employers to communicate that properly in the first place.Are you serious? Also a lot of laughing emojis from people that obviously have absolutely no awareness of what goes on in society.
There is infinite amount of attempts to cancel civilians and celebrities for holding right wing or conservative opinions, or more appropriately, not woke ones. Most cancel culture is related to race, gender, and sexuality - the leftists trifecta. Literally go on google and have a look. It isn't just celebrities either, it is the real world with people losing their jobs for not conforming to standards put in place by those on the left.
Post 'All lives matter', get fired. Post 'white lives don't matter', get promoted. No it's not a joke. That's a real example. Google that too.
Have a chat with Gina Carano and JK Rowling if you want to be that ignorant. Even Davina McCall talked recently about the one attempt people had to cancel her, for sticking up for men. Ever seen the Simpsons and Apu? You'll have to go back in time. Cancelled.
It's not exclusive to the left, but it is absolutely comes from that direction most of the time. To go full circle: 'It's ok when we do it'.
Which is also a massive problem imoWithout revealing too many details, a colleague of mine lost his job for getting the nationality of a well known figure wrong by mistake.
If I openly said that multiple genders were nonsense I’d be gone too-no question.
Completely insane and very worrying.Without revealing too many details, a colleague of mine lost his job for getting the nationality of a well known figure wrong by mistake.

It's a far bigger problem. These people don't have voices like Lineker does.Which is also a massive problem imo
I guess you’d better have an argument with Agnes about that

Another thing I’m amazed hasn’t been highlighted on here - 50% want people on boats banned for life from the uk and 36% oppose
always how you ask the question really
It's a leading question though, you'd get a differing result if you say asked "should people who are valid asylum seekers be deported for using an illegal route while there are currently no legal routes open"? That's a leading question as well but would give very different resultsAnother thing I’m amazed hasn’t been highlighted on here - 50% want people on boats banned for life from the uk and 36% oppose

I can't wait for Tom Bradby on the ITV news tonight: - What on earth is going on at the BBC?
I do wonder, if we remove people from TV for airing their views about the government, how does that make us any different from Russia and the Marina Ovsyannikova incident? She spoke out about the Russian government ON AIR, and was removed. Lineker criticises the government in his private time and is also removed from air.
There's no such thing as an illegal route to claim asylumIt's a leading question though, you'd get a differing result if you say asked "should people who are valid asylum seekers be deported for using an illegal route while there are currently no legal routes open"?

You literally said you were done 15 minutes ago.
Like this?I don't give a fuck about Lineker. I don't watch motd to see him, I watch it for football .
As for his tweets I suggest he open a hostel or buy up half a dozen hotels, perhaps near the french coast so he can help the migrants .
As things stand, and with his wealth, I'd have thought actions speak louder than words.
Yes, I know but that was just part of an example of a leading question.There's no such thing as an illegal route to claim asylum
Are you trying to cancel me?
They always fall into that trapLike this?
Gary Lineker to take second refugee into home
He said he will ‘never be able to comprehend’ people ‘attacking’ him for doing sowww.independent.co.uk

Yes he had enough of him after a couple of weeks - amazing gesture - I know someone whose had a Ukrainian family for 6 months - but in sure Gary wasn’t doing it for publicity

Do you think he would have been cancelled if he had tweeted support for the Government's approach? No of course not.Ridiculous.
Truly shocking. This is worse than the Linneker issue. Keep the plebs ignorant about climate change so they don't realise how important it is and how hopeless the Government is at tackling it.In more right wing snowflake news
BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of ‘rightwing backlash’
