:think:

Convoluted nonsense - you only expect him to give up the platform because you don't like what he has to say. If the world worked that way, NO ONE would be saying anything about anything, because there will always be some people who don't like it.

If this is an argument that the BBC and its supposed impartiality and the BBC license fee shouldn't exist at all then I am fully in favour of that. But it's the institution that's broken and the problem, not Gary Linekar "having thoughts about stuff". I get that you find him insufferable, I personally find his views to be well-meaning but not particularly well developed or nuanced, but he's fairly benign. Look at the hoard of puffy faced arseholes we're forced to endure Twitter/YouTube videos of DAILY on this site. Is Gary Linekar worse because his views come from a slightly more (not even very, but supposedly) left-leaning perspective?

It's garbled because it's an accurate summing up of your circular logic on why he should resign (and why not doing so is immoral). It's not my fault that your argument is nonsensical :nono:.

ALSO I'll have you know I'm the healthiest I've been in about a decade and my resting heart rate often sits at around 55 :smug:. If anything I'm more worried that I might just relax myself into a coma :umm2:.

We are at war in the middle east. We can't let Iran win, so why are we trying to tie Israel hands behind their back.

We are at war with Russia, so why do Nato leaders deny funding, troops and equipment to Ukraine. Do they expect Ukraine to fight on, on our behalf with edicts like don't strike Russian territory, when Russia is invading Ukraine?

We are being played for fools at the moment

I'm going to hazard a guess that it's probably maybe because they don't want to start a full-scale conflict that would end up going nuclear and result in the destruction of the entire planet. Not sure but it seems like a valid possibility.

Exactly. Our tax money is being used to aid and abet murder.
